In an increasingly globalised world, this topic allows students to immerse themselves in a dynamic new culture, gain first-hand knowledge of an international business environment and forge valuable global connections and networks. At graduate level, students will engage with and work alongside peers, stakeholders and leaders in an international innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. Students will be challenged to critically assess the challenges and opportunities inherent in emergent and disruptive markets, will identify the factors and dynamics that enhance or limit successful innovation and enterprise growth in the global context and will take back valuable insights and experience in how to craft effective strategies to capture opportunities for successful global ventures. This topic brings to life the innovation and entrepreneurial space and contextualises and broadens the knowledge students have gained to this point.
This immersive topic aims to develop students capacity to think globally and operate across boundaries, whether geographical, cultural or sectoral. The topic will develop in students an appreciation of alternative cultures and markets and will embed an appreciation of the value of diversity in innovation and enterprise success. Students will broaden their perspectives, deepen their technical knowledge, develop resilience and the ability to consider multiple and challenging perspectives and forge international networks. All of these will enhance students ability to draw on multiple sources and approaches for creative opportunity generation, agile planning and entrepreneurial execution, ultimately providing students with enhanced opportunities for career and business success.
