General Information

Overview

Rapid technological development and increased globalisation bring with it a wealth of new business and societal opportunities and challenges as competitive advantages of societies, nations, and companies continue to change. This unit focuses on developing your ability to think creatively about anticipating and responding to these developments and to identify opportunities and directions for sustainable growth. The unit develops your abilities to recommend practical innovation systems and programs for organisations. The unit improves your skills in analysing and synthesising information and developing solutions to improve the long-term sustainability of a business or organisation. You learn about concepts, principles, tools and techniques relevant to all phases of idea generation, concept development and commercialisation of new business models, new business processes, new products, new services and solutions to societal challenges. This unit identifies and explores the issues in implementing these solutions while recognising the competencies, power and access to resources of the individual and the organisation. This unit allows students to focus on an organisation, industry, or sector of their choice from a selected list of options for all assessments. If you have successfully completed the unit MGMT20128 you should not enrol in this unit.

Feedback from Student Unit Evaluations and feedback

Feedback

Students continue to provide positive feedback about this unit. An example: “I have found this unit to be one of the most valuable I have completed as part of the MBA. The tools and their practical application have been invaluable to me. I admit it was challenging as I do not come from an area of work that I would consider “innovative”, however being able to see how to use the tools to develop and assess new ideas for the business has been so powerful to the point that I have started incorporating them into my standard work environment.”

Recommendation

The ongoing unit improvement activities must be continued to maintain the unit focus on contemporary developments in innovation and sustainable business development concepts and practices.
