The BCom Business Management Degree with a Spotlight on Thinking about Thinking

Introduction

In a world defined by constant change and innovation, the ability to think critically and creatively is not merely advantageous, but rather essential. As we have explored in previous blogs, ​BCom: Creativity in Business Management​ and ​Exploring the Creative Dimensions​, the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) in Business Management with elective modules in Creativity in Management is your gateway to mastering these crucial skills. Today, we are putting the spotlight on a pivotal module: Thinking about Thinking. Join us as we unravel the significance of this module and why it is a game-changer for decision-makers, managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone in the business world.

The Essence of Thinking About Thinking

Thinking about Thinking is not just a clever phrase, it is the cornerstone of metacognition, the ability to reflect on your thinking processes. In an ever-evolving business landscape, where creativity and adaptability are treasured skills, metacognition becomes your secret weapon. The ​World Economic Forum​ (WEF) enlists and describes the top 10 most sought-after skills for the future. Some of the note-worthy skills mentioned include Analytical Thinking, Creative Thinking, and Problem-Solving, as discussed below.

Let us connect the dots between the Thinking about Thinking module and the skills identified by the ​World Economic Forum​ (WEF).  Analytical thinking, creative thinking, and problem-solving are at the heart of this module. By understanding how you think, you can enhance your analytical and creative abilities.

Why Thinking About Thinking Matters

  1. Enhanced Decision-Making: In the business world, decisions often come with high stakes. Metacognition equips you with the tools to dissect problems, challenge assumptions, and make well-informed decisions.
  2. Innovative Problem-Solving: Creativity is not about wild ideas; it is about finding novel solutions to complex challenges. Metacognition encourages you to explore multiple angles, leading to innovative problem-solving.
  3. Adaptability: The business environment is in constant flux. Metacognition fosters adaptability by helping you recognise and adjust to changing circumstances swiftly.
