Course description

This course provides students with a signature learning experience in business leadership and strategy befitting the status of the course as the program capstone. The course invites students both in project teams and later individually to address a major contemporary challenge in business, government, or society. For example, student projects could address such diverse and challenging topics as access to and the cost of health care, access to water, management of national parks and fire prevention/rehabilitation, mitigating waste and pollution, aspects of climate change and other complex challenges facing organisations and our communities. Central to this analysis will be the application of a four frames model of thinking that combines analysis of issues using a structural/strategy frame, a human resource/people frame, a cultural frame and power/politics frame. Working under academic supervision, students also will work as change agents applying change management theory in providing a critical analysis of a change experience that involved the application of strategies to change an organisation, community or societal set of attitudes, behaviours and performance.
