Leadership Capstone is the final unit in the CQUni Master of Business Administration (Leadership) course which is split into three distinct parts: Part 1: Applied Business Report This part of the unit provides you with an opportunity to conduct some applied research into a business problem or to investigate a business opportunity. This is a valuable chance to demonstrate your capacity to make the transition to becoming a successful business leader. This unit draws upon your wider knowledge of business environments both locally and globally. You are expected to demonstrate a capacity to conduct an independent investigation to a professional standard. Choose whatever business discipline or disciplines best inform the problem or opportunity you intend to investigate. Part 2: Capsim Simulations 1. CapsimGlobal is an international business simulation that tests and evaluates your performance using a balanced scorecard. You will make decisions about research and development, marketing, production and finance, to learn how the different functional areas of a business interact and effect one another. 2. Capsim Inbox uses an email learning simulation to test, measure and deliver critical career competencies. You will work in a fictional company and be challenged to provide the most appropriate and ethical email responses to a variety of real-world business scenarios. Part 3: Reflective practice assignment After completing both Capsim simulations (Global and Inbox), you will write an executive reflection about your experiences in the simulations, as well as a critical reflection on your MBA (Leadership) journey.
