Integrated Business Challenge

The Integrated Business Challenge is the first unit in the Business challenge stream. This unit will support students in their transition to University, engage students in student centred learning within group experiential activities and provide a challenge to students in an integrated activity that introduces other first year units. The unit aims to develop skills that are necessary for professional, personal and academic learning. The challenge project will provide challenge, flexibility and model a real world business context. It will feature both individual and team activities within a professional business framework. Learning activities will be scaffolded to include team dynamics and conflict management, critical thinking and information analysis, academic skill formation with both written and presentation business communications. Learning activities will develop reflective writing on team formation and management of team conflict, peer review of the team component of the challenge task, team based report and various presentation styles and formats, online group collaboration review and academic writing and referencing assessment.
