This subject is designed to equip students with a problem-solving approach that can be used to tackle wicked problems within contemporary business environments. Solutions are then framed within a business model framework, and pitched to peers and industry partners. You will identify assumptions within their business model and develop a research proposal that will address a fundamental inherent assumption within their model. The research proposal will turn the assumption into a research question, identify the appropriate ontology, epistemology, method and methodology to address that question.
This subject includes a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context, and where feedback from industry is integral to your experience.
