MBA911 Study Tour

Overview

MBA Core

MBA911, Study Tour provides an experiential opportunity for students to visit a diverse range of enterprises gaining a first hand, “in the field”, experience from inside of the operation. In this subject, students are given agency to act as consultants to observe, compare and synthesise all aspects of the host enterprises including their operations, culture, markets, ecosystems and challenges, and in so doing, will develop insight into how contemporary enterprises address their core issues. Throughout the Study Tour, students will be able to build a portfolio of the core tools and tactics the host enterprises use to address contemporary challenges and to maximise their opportunities. Overall, students will develop a vision of what it means and what it takes to be a world class enterprise, and, what it takes to lead one. Through this experiential learning, students will develop a capacity to rapidly identify and analyse core issues central to these enterprises. This subject also provides a first-hand opportunity for students to develop a strong sense for, and respect of, diverse cultural and professional norms and expectations within real enterprises, thereby building critical skills necessary to flourish in technology centric enterprises of the 21 Century.
