Unit of study_
SIEN3600: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Practice
2024 unit information
This unit gives students the opportunity to apply their learnings from across the major to a practice-derived problem (new business/social venture opportunity, or a challenge provided by an established private, public or not for profit organisation); developing and validating their own solutions and ideas, and developing their project to a level that warrants presenting it to key stakeholders. This unit sees multidisciplinary teams of students doing customer/user/stakeholder interviews to deepen their understanding of the problem they are seeking to solve, developing and refining their minimal viable product, assessing and addressing issues of ethics and social responsibility, launching as a venture or intrapreneurship project with customers and/or users and/or stakeholders, and culminating in a demo day to investors or top management of stakeholder organisations from private, public or not-for-profit sectors.
