This unit will explore technology entrepreneurship, focusing on what it means to engage in a process of innovation, scaling ideas from pipedreams to enterprise solutions for both profit and NGO’s. To extend the reach of entrepreneurship activities, this unit will focus on enterprise level technology and explore the ways in which large and distributed organisations use disruptive technologies to support business. Through a series of case studies and recent research, students will investigate what it means to provide enterprise solutions as well as what is required to create a successful start-up. The case studies will enable students to explore entrepreneurial leadership on both small and large scales, discovering how to develop collaborative partnerships that support today’s technological and social problems.
Through an industry-centred problem-based approach to learning, students will explore how to discover opportunity, while critically reflecting on their entrepreneurship-self that informs their career plan. This unit will provide mentor-guided active classes featuring a range of industry guest speakers, immersing students in local and global case studies to explore the nuances of innovation and entrepreneurship, suitable for both small- and enterprise-scale situations. Specific topics covered include: enterprise organisations; venture formation; business strategies; marketing approaches; organisational behaviour; legal and financial aspects; and innovation. This unit focuses on understanding the start-up entrepreneurship culture, particularly in enterprise-level technologically based areas of the economy.
