Global Executive MBA Innovation I unit comprises two component topics: China Business Strategy and Global Executive MBA Business Project II.

China Business Strategy is co-created with faculty at a leading Chinese business school and taught at their campus. The topics covered include China's transformation and its global implications, comparative analysis of Chinese and other business models, and strategies for entering the China market. Expert guest speakers and local company visits provide opportunities for engagement with industry.

Global Executive Business Project II is the second in the series of applied consulting projects, in which teams of students undertake an international business project for an Australia-based business in the international market. Assignments in this module emphasise innovation and technology, and can involve market feasibility assessment, resourcing projects, evaluation of global best practice or business relationship development. The international market research and related business consulting skills developed earlier will be applied.
