Overview
The Impact through science level two units provide an action-learning exploration of the business and social entrepreneurship cycle from concept through to pitching the idea to a panel of experts. The entrepreneurial mindset is developed through a strong focus on group work, critical thinking, persuasive communication and leadership development. Throughout these units, insights into entrepreneurship will be gained by using case study analysis and prominent guest speakers who are thought leaders, entrepreneurs and industry executives.
This unit is taught in two parts. This first part focuses on corporate innovation and intrapreneurship. Through a series of workshops, you are taught how to solve corporate innovation problems and challenges using a range of interactive methods and processes. During this unit, you will also plan and prepare for your first internship.
