Syllabus:	The practice of research management is shaped to a large extent by the policy and structural contexts within which institutions, and researchers function. Thus, research managers operating at the higher levels of the profession require advanced understandings of discourses of globalisation, such as 'the knowledge economy'; those of national interest such as 'the national innovation system'; and conceptual debates in connection with quality, impact, scientific merit, 'public good' and triple bottom line thinking as determinants of the value proposition for research activity in both the public and the private sectors. The unit aims to introduce you to a number of concepts and analytical approaches necessary for the development and critical appraisal of your understanding of the environments within which research management practices take place, and for the development of practical responses to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of research management in those environments.
