About this Unit
Innovation and creative thinking are important skills in strategy development. Part of this process is the ability to solve problems and discover new opportunities; or in other words, the notion of “design thinking”.

Students will explore and analyse business and social networks, clusters and ecosystems via practice based projects. Design thinking principles will be applied to systematically develop ideas into innovative solutions as a way to drive business growth.
