BEX3000 - Current issues in business - 2017

This unit is the capstone unit for the Bachelor of Business and as such draws together the learning and experiences gained from previous business units. The unit provides students the opportunity to demonstrate being critical and creative scholars and responsible and effective global citizens, and gain an understanding of multi-disciplinary decision-making in organisations. The opportunity is via a complex project-based programme in which cultural and ethical perspectives are also assessed. Students will develop and demonstrate their career-readiness in this unit.

The learning goals associated with this unit are to:

1. synthesize and evaluate cultural and ethical perspectives to guide international organisation decision-making
2. research, synthesize, analyse, evaluate and communicate how innovative multi-disciplinary decision-making occurs in organisations.
