| Brief description of the Unit |
Nowadays, increasing competitive pressures due to evolving customer behaviours are driving rapid change in organisations. Through digital innovation, organisations are applying new technologies to existing business models in order to deliver innovative solutions to customers. At its core, digital innovation is the application of new technologies to existing business problems and practices. Organisations that proactively embrace digital innovation will lead the way. Hence, the course aims to equip students with an understanding of digital innovation and the role of digital innovation and digital technologies in bringing organisational change. Furthermore, in this course, students will be trained in Data Science to address key industry problems using relevant technologies and skills. Students will also earn IBM's Data Science Practitioner badge by completing IBM’s Data Science Practitioner course (that is embedded in BUENT 3736). |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
