Module Overview
This module builds on the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the ‘purpose’ of the Principles of Responsible Management Education, as well as the ‘essence’ of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Vision 2050, to develop the knowledge, skills, and capabilities of students to be future creators of sustainable value for business, and to work towards an increasingly inclusive society and a more sustainable global economy.
This involves rethinking and reengineering business strategies and activities, to understand organisational constructs and influences, as well as that of their ’own agency’, to be the change that produces and secures economic, social, and environmental value for current and future generations. This means systematically examining contemporary business, economic development, and the historic relationships with a ‘Eurocentric’ social-cultural construct within global commerce and management, to discover a fairer and increasingly viable future.
As a consequence, this module will ask students to explore and reflect on responsible management, sustainability, and ethical practice, as well as the resultant effects on global society, and the environmental costs created by human interaction as they analyse and evaluate contrasting strategies and approaches. This will not only provide a better understanding of the challenges of responsibly managing sustainability and ethical practice but will also identify and emphasise the questions to be addressed in respect of their future management endeavours.
Module Overview
The contemporary events landscape has become a multi-sensorial, dynamic, and spectacularised sector.

Module Overview
The basis of this module is that students work in groups to undertake a ‘live’ project, with a particular critical focus, for a tourism/events/sports local employer as client. Students are encouraged to think of themselves as graduate trainees, who under the direction of their tutor as a consultancy project director, undertake research, evaluate and synthesise the information acquired, and present it to their client with recommendations. This process will enable students to gain insights into the internal and external environments in which organisations operate, and put into practice some of the frameworks acquired in the degree programme to date as a response to a client brief.
Module Overview
The purpose of this module is to explore how digitalisation and automatization are impacting the fields of tourism, events, and sports business management. The emergence of digital cultures because of this aggressive digital expansion is fascinating within the three fields. Known for their need for a high number of employees and people management, the three industries are being automated and digitalised at an unprecedented speed. AI and chat bots are replacing customer service; service and social robots are efficiently replacing the human workforce across these three sectors. The remaining human workforce is required to adapt and embrace technological advances at an unprecedented speed. This leads to changes in thought patters, work patterns, organisational structures and cultures across the board.
The emergence of a digital economy has significantly influenced the nature of tourism, events and sport business management and marketing. Cultural and technological shifts seem to have not only led to a further proliferation of events for example but altered expectations as people place higher value on innovation and creativity. Moreover, the way destinations, attractions, and other tourism related activities and aspects, or events are developed, promoted, and experienced, or sports clubs and fan engagement is designed, continue to change as cultures and technologies interact.
Participatory cultures mean that audiences and delegates interact in physical space and cyberspace in different ways; the experience can no longer be scripted and controlled. The way people consume experiences shifts, as they engage in social media, in an environment which is both diverse and rich in content and networks; events are multi-media, mixing traditional ‘face to face’ interaction, with animated, visual, augmented and audio channels. Attendees expect to be able to communicate, connect, learn, and work whenever and wherever they want including while engaging with tourism, events, or sports, whilst travelling or at leisure. industry narratives are being constructed in cyberspace, shifting the way destinations, events, attractions, and service providers are understood and imagined. This module explores the interaction of contemporary cultural shifts (including networked and participatory cultures) and technological change.
Module Overview
The purpose of the Event Operations module is to introduce students to a range of key event operations theories such as health and safety, risk management, people management and the Principles of Law governing events.
This module introduces students to the structure and legal frameworks within which the providers of events services are permitted to operate. Management from the events sector perspective involves live interaction with a range of ‘stakeholders’: consumers, suppliers, performers, employees and regulatory agencies. It is therefore important that managers and organisers have awareness and have both an understanding of the relevant substantive law as well as an awareness of procedure and practice in order that they can make an informed choice and can be held accountable for their 'real' world decisions.
The learning programme focuses on encouraging the critical evaluation of the people management skills that leads to a positive impact on employee performance and their optimal contribution to the live events sector. The nature of the service relationship is examined critically as being essential to the successful growth of organisations in the visitor economy. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the requirements for effective HRM in the events sector.
Module Overview
Experience is an important feature found across the events industry. It is a key dynamic regularly written into the strategic aims and objectives of events of all types. However, experience is not a keyword that can be simply defined. In fact, an attempt to fully understand experience is problematic given its subjectivity and fluidity as a word. This module, therefore, considers the complexities of experience and critically assesses the docile use of the term experience within an event context. This module will raise awareness about the importance of comprehending the elasticity and dynamism of experience for the purpose of strategic event advantage.
Module Overview
This module explains the gains to be made from economic integration and the globalisation process. It examines the main patterns of trade and exchange and shows how free trade can be influenced by the government and the future risks of protectionism. Trade is also supported by international capital markets and exchange rate determination as well as international policy coordination and these factors need to be well understood.
Module Overview
Lincoln International Business School (LIBS) believes that an option to study overseas is a valuable educational opportunity for our students.
The optional year is intended to:
- enable students to benefit from studying similar subjects within a cross cultural environment, by exposing students to a wider academic and cultural experience;
- facilitate reflexivity in learning and personal and professional development;
- enhance their future employment opportunities by increasing their cultural and professional mobility.
This module is optional for all taught on campus undergraduate students within Lincoln International Business School. Study Abroad is a year long module which enables students to spend time studying abroad at one of the University’s approved partner institutions.
During the year spent abroad, students share classes with local students and study on a suite of locally-delivered taught modules which have been approved in advance by the University. As many partner institutions support internships it is anticipated that some students will elect to combine study (minimum one semester equivalent) with work and or a period of volunteering.
Eligible students must have completed their second year of study to a satisfactory standard (normally with an average of a 2.1 or above, dependent upon partner requirements) standard and successfully completed the application process.
Upon completion of the study period abroad, each student will be required to submit a portfolio including a reflection on the experience of living and studying in a different cultural environment and the skills acquired.
