BUMGT5977 Innovation and Entrepreneurship
This unit aims to develop students' creative, strategic, and interpersonal capabilities to successfully launch new innovations within existing companies and to create and grow entrepreneurial initiatives from scratch. The unit is designed to be highly interactive and hands-on, with an emphasis on collaboration and real-world engagement. Guest speakers from local industries and enterprises will provide personal insights into the approaches, motivations, and resources that have served their own entrepreneurial journeys. Students will unpack case studies and situational problems in order to link theoretical models with the dynamism of innovation processes. The unit also explores the emerging field of social entrepreneurship to discover its potential as a vehicle for positive social impact and how it is being applied by organisations across all sectors. Facilitated group work will encourage students to collectively initiate and test new value propositions as they plan an entrepreneurial venture. Reflexive exercises will support students to contemplate what inspires them, to develop greater self-understanding into their own purpose, and to adopt a systems lens to unpack complex challenges in new ways.
