Whist studying for the Diploma in Business Studies which is a practice-based course Fenella studied five essential organisational functions; human resources; marketing; operations management; information management; and accounting and finance and how they operate and integrate within business.
Fenella also explored the origins and development of strategy as a subject and how organisations and individuals try to interpret and exploit opportunities and strive for success.
Fenella studied the behaviours and functions of contemporary business organisations from a broader range of perspectives than those adopted in everyday working life. As well as supporting the development of key business skills such as personal communication, self-organisation, numerical understanding and information management, it helped her develop her critical awareness and lateral thinking so valued in today's business environment.
