| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module considers how creativity and innovation lead to sustainable business. Students will develop an appreciation of the culture, behaviour structures, systems, procedures and policies that develop and sustain innovation in both the context of corporate entrepreneruship and new ventures.
The module will explore the history and conceptualisation of creativity and innovation with an emphasis on the role of knowledge, strategy and the potential future development of entrepreneurship using evidence from the current theory and practice. Entrepreneurship and the mechanisms of value creation in past, present and future societal contexts will be examined and assessed.
Students will become familiar with the concepts, models and processes that will enable them to understand how value is created, sustained and understood in not only the for-profit context but also in the the neoliberal form of social value. There is an expectation that students will work in groups during class sessions but ulitmately produce works of creative, original and individual research in order to address the learning outcomes.
