Enterprise Project
Overview
This unit provides a unique opportunity to operationalise the knowledge gained from previous and concurrently studied units to demonstrate the application of theory and knowledge in a real situation, task or challenge, as well as building theory from such work. The ‘hands-on’ approach provides students with the skills and experiences to enable them to become more successful and effective leaders and innovators in organisations. The Unit has two key components: a collaborative project designed to create or add value to a business, community or public sector setting; and an individual reflection and learning on applied project.
