Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This course introduces students to the nature and characteristics of entrepreneurship and innovation and explores the interrelationship between the two within global and contemporary economies. The nature of enterprise behaviour and the characteristics of entrepreneurs in both large and small organisations in Asia-Pacific and Western-based organisations are examined, as are the policy issues associated with encouraging enterprise and innovation within the wider community. The fundamentals of opportunity recognition and screening of new venture ideas are examined from both a local and global perspective.
