Understanding business operations assists executive managers to manage local and international business operations as an executive in an internationally competitive setting. In this degree you will draw upon your executive experience to explore design thinking when exploring business operation problems and opportunities.

You will be introduced to key business operations concepts and major functions through a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) project or business simulation in which either as individuals or as a competitive ‘company’, you will undertake the functional roles of business operations managers. You will be required to present in Collaborative Learning Network (CLN) teams to an industry panel prior to and after completion of the work integrated learning project or business simulation, indicating your strategy, objectives, and recommendations.
