Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
This course is a capstone course in the Management & Change Major within BP343 & BP344 Bachelor of Business degrees as well as for the BP217 Bachelor of Business (Management) program, and associated double degrees. The design of the course presumes that you have spent significant time over the last three years working through a broad range of management theories and have studied where these theories might be utilised. In this course, you will apply theoretical knowledge in appropriate and creative ways. Presuming you are in your final year of your program of study, It is assumed that you have the capacity to connect the theory we teach in this course with your previous learning, knowledge, and experience. This course encourages you to embody truly independent learning modalities, in charge of your own scholarly path and in engaged dialogue with others at a similar point in their life-long learning journey. This course is therefore only appropriate for students who are in the final semester of their program sequence. Therefore, unless you have earned 192 credit points of Higher Educational study experience, including Strategy, we strongly advise you to delay enrollment in this course. You will be in a much stronger position to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by this course in your third year with the appropriate level of accumulated knowledge and experience to do well.

The first two demonstrate your understanding of sustainability and responsible business practices, while the third showcases your career readiness with a professional job application package. The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Career Development Learning (CDL) components enhance your employability by building communication and career planning skills, preparing you for the evolving workforce.
