Overview
The goal of this unit is to impart an evidence-based methodology for developing innovation in the bioproduct manufacturing industry. It will enable you to promote innovation within a corporate environment by developing a streamlined resource allocation process (time, technology, and talent). It will also provide you with the foundations to develop new businesses and acquire investor funding. The unit will incorporate both project and case study-based learning. You will be required to apply entrepreneurial theory to real-world bioproduct industry examples, and collaboratively design your own product proposal. With the help of continuous market research throughout the semester and feedback from potential customers and investors, your team will evolve its business models and determine its product's viability. At the end of the semester, your team will have the opportunity to pitch its ideas to academic and industry leaders.

144 hours of study
All lectures have been recorded and will be available online through Moodle. Students are required to attend the virtual practical class (via Zoom) every week during the semester.
Students will be required to apply entrepreneurial theory to real world bioproduct industry examples and collaboratively design their own product proposal. The emphasis is to provide students with the foundations to develop innovation within a corporate environment and acquire investor funding.
This unit broadly follows a flipped classroom approach, which seeks to promote active learning. Students are required to review a series of videos, readings and knowledge-based quiz questions prior to attending a virtual practical class, where they will practice applying the weekly skills with their peers and lecturer. At the end of the week, students will then have an opportunity to independently test their ability to apply these skills by completing a practice case study or quiz. The unit will use a series of case studies and problems to teach the unit content in an industrially-relevant way.
