Unit description
By working on a management-based group project, this unit is designed to provide students with the opportunity to extend, but most importantly to apply, the knowledge and skills that they have gained throughout their Bachelor of Commerce (Management major) degree. The aim of the project is to provide a solution to a problem set by an industry partner, such as a not-for-profit organisation, government agency or for-profit organisation, and to present the solution to an organisation representative at the end of the session. The challenge set by the partner could be, but not limited to, leadership challenges, organisational restructures, and business modelling. It is expected that students will liaise with the industry partner throughout the session to ensure they are working effectively towards the end goal. Students will gain an insight into organisations and be able to contextualise the course's learning outcomes in the final management project. Students will be assessed on a reflective journal, and on both the written and oral components of their reports.Visit Employability Connect for important information on this unit. |
