Integrative business practices

This is an interdisciplinary capstone unit for the Bachelor of Business and Commerce program. It aims to help you integrate the diverse discipline knowledge you've acquired from prior studies, deepen your understanding of topical issues related to regional or global business, and apply your learning to solve real business problems. You will identify innovative solutions to those problems from a total organisation perspective. In the process, you will learn how to synthesise principles and theories from different business disciplines, and apply a variety of skills including critical inquiry, problem solving, communication and teamwork.

Enquiry-based learning - This unit engages you in enquiry-based learning, where you will be encouraged to use your own knowledge to develop and engage in a process of enquiry, study and research to identify areas to be investigated and an approach to doing so.

Active learning - This unit engages you in actively applying your knowledge, skills and attributes in interactive, collaborative and reflective activities.

Problem-based learning - This unit includes problem-based learning approaches, where you engage in research, integrate theory and practice and apply knowledge and skills to develop viable solutions in response to a problem or set of problems.
