| Unit Content: |
BSMAN 3193 is the capstone unit in the Bachelor of Applied Management. It is a practical unit with the sole focus of identifying, planning, implementing, managing, and reporting on a project in the student’s workplace. The student is required to undertake a work-based project to address an identified management issue or opportunity. The student will work individually under the supervision of an academic supervisor and a workplace mentor with whom they will have regular contact during the life of the project. The project should address an issue or opportunity that the student, or their manager, recognise as being important to the organisation, and for which the student’s manager is willing to give the student responsibility of taking on the role of project manager. Where it is not possible for the student to engage in a workplace project within their own organisation, they should seek to identify an alternative. It may be possible for the student to offer their services to another business organisation or a community organisation. |
