Handbook

Sourcing, developing, deploying and mobilising resources is fundamental to creating value and achieving sustainable competitive advantage. In DPBS1170 students identify the different types of financial and non-financial resources of an organisation and learn contemporary performance measures for different resource categories, before focusing on three key resources to maximise value for major stakeholders: people, technology and capital.

Link to other courses: DPBS1170 is closely linked and prepares students for Creating value (DPBS1180), as organisational resources are at the heart of an organisation’s ability to realise value. The fundamentals of project management taught in Collaboration and Innovation in Business (DPBS1120) are also highly application to resource management.
