INTBUS 7503NA - International Entrepreneurship and Innovation (M)

Ngee Ann Academy - Trimester 3 - 2016

The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

This course analyses how for small open economies such as Australia, international opportunity identification and exploitation are often critical to the firm's long term growth and survival and often results in the firm seeking to exploit those opportunities by entering overseas markets. The course focuses on the development of skills to identify and evaluate by ventures that aspire to become international or extend the scope of existing international operations. Specific topics relating to international new ventures, also referred to as born-globals and start-ups, will include understanding entrepreneurship and innovation as a process; opportunity identification competencies; cross-border expansion opportunities and challenges that entrepreneurs' face such as, for example, market entry, resourcing international operations (e.g. exporting), forming alliances, managing growth, and cross-border financing in different regions of the world. The course thereby provides students with the opportunity to focus on the socio-cultural, ethical, legal, political, regulatory, technological and human resource specific issues facing large as well as small to medium sized enterprises, some of which are also family run firms. They will also have the opportunity as a team project to develop a new venture proposal. They will develop an understanding of the constraints and advantages in developing a new venture and managing the additional burden of internationalization, which for some new ventures will be rapid or accelerated.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
