Enhance your business or contribute to organisational growth by learning responsible scale up approaches on this Business MBA from LJMU. This programme aims to transform participants into confident business professionals capable of scaling up a business.
Nationally, scale-up businesses have been identified as a priority area, recognised by the appointment of a scale up champion in Government who aims to increase the number of businesses maximising opportunities to reach their growth potential. This will feed into the Government's industrial strategy.
MBAs equip managers with a broad and rich understanding of business, enabling them to manage effectively. This scale up MBA focuses on the key areas a business would need to investigate to assess scale up potential. The course combines key management disciplines from the key QAA and CMI benchmark statements with recent national research on the drivers of business scale up.
The programme is structured in three phases. The first phase provides an intensive focused range of interventions aimed at realising the potential of growth within businesses. Stages two and three then draw on these areas to analyse ideas and develop them further to plan and enable accelerated growth. Finally, a strategic project builds the evidence base for scale up strategies, and addresses a significant and strategic area for your business.
- Learn about the key factors that enable business growth
- Study on a course designed in response to government and local ambitions for business growth
- Start your studies in September or January
- Delivered in blocks for extra flexibility and to fit studies around existing commitments
- Relevant for those with responsibility for leading strategy and change, managing a budget and developing staff to ensure continued and responsible growth
- Benefit from course content and teaching informed by proprietary business research and academics' close links to business
- Learn alongside others experiencing similar challenges and discuss leadership and strategy in the context of Scaling-Up
- Winner! Business School of the Year, Times Higher Education Awards 2025
- Winner! Business School of the Year, Educate North Awards 2025
