- Creating Better Business: A review
Society has seen inequity, injustice, and environmental degradation rising as a consequence of self-interest and the maximising of shareholder value. When the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, they did so in recognition that we need to do better. Through this course, inspired by philosophy, sociology, psychology, and the many disciplines of business, you will learn how to become a force in creating better businesses. You will be invited to critically evaluate the consequences of business decisions and practices on an increasingly complex network of stakeholders. Supported by interactive online material and skill development workshops, you will form transdisciplinary teams to compete in a series of simulations and problem-solving exercises. The assessment platform has been specifically designed to facilitate a critical reflection on your employability skills and provide you with evidence to demonstrate that you possess the attributes of a Griffith Graduate.

GRF-BUS-DEGSingle subject FAQs
Single subjects are the individual components that make up a degree. With Open Universities Australia, you’re able to study many of them as stand-alone subjects, including postgraduate single subjects, without having to commit to a degree.
Each of your subjects will be held over the course of a study term, and they’ll usually require 10 to 12 hours of study each week. Subjects are identified by a title and a code, for example, Developmental Psychology, PSY20007.
