Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
While there are no formal pre-requisites for this course, this is an intermediate level Entrepreneurship course. It is designated as a second year (mid-degree) subject in the Bachelor of Business (Entrepreneurship). It is assumed that you will have prior knowledge of entrepreneurship and innovation.
Course Description
This course will give you the opportunity to undertake structured activities where you will apply your professional practice as an intrapreneur and become involved in authentic engagement with partner organisations that include industry feedback. The course will provide you with practical knowledge and experience in research, negotiating with project stakeholders, planning, and monitoring, controlling and delivering successful project outcomes. Persistence, innovativeness, team work, communication and leadership are integral to this course.
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
-
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
CLO1: Apply principles and tools of entrepreneurship and innovation to existing organisations.
CLO2: Critically analyse and synthesise information to foster innovation in organisations.
CLO3: Collaboratively examine organisational problems and opportunities, and suggest strategies to initiate change and to achieve goals.
CLO4: Undertake reflexive practice regarding behavioural capabilities that support collaborative work on innovation projects.
Overview of Learning Activities
The course requires students to ‘learn through doing’, hence expected to be competent in the work environment by the time they complete the course. Students are required to participate in lectures, host organisations’ work engagement and tutorials. You must focus extensively on the course material and be able to critically analyse tutorial activities. You must self-select a diverse team of 2-3 students (inclusive of both international and local students). Once the project proposal has been defined, your team is expected to work collaboratively with the host organisation (off campus) to acquire skills and experience in business, government and community organisations. In achieving the objectives of their proposed projects, each team will also work closely with an assigned mentor who will provide guidance and support. The mentor will be integral to the WIL project.
Overview of Learning Resources
Various learning resources are available online through MyRMIT Studies\Canvas. The lecture notes and workshop notes are posted on Canvas.
Resources are also available online through RMIT Library databases and other facilities. Visit the RMIT library website for further details. Assistance is available online via our chat and email services, face to face at our campus libraries or via the telephone on (03) 9925 2020.
