Description
Innovation and Entrepreneurial Strategy is the capstone course in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship program. You will be involved with the identification and framing of a real innovation project and problem. A mix of design thinking and project management will also be incorporated. The course importantly examines the 'why' and values behind a venture; these are known key tenets of great enterprises and their success. The capstone applies all your knowledge from the suite of previous courses but with the addition of a major industry based challenge and project that utilises theory and hones your practical understanding.
