The purpose of this subject is to provide students with a capstone experience where they draw on their previous subjects throughout the MBA journey to tackle a major global strategic issue relevant to their sector. The MBA equips students with knowledge, learning and new skills to understand the broader business aspects managers require. In doing so, various aspects of business management are addressed, including organisational behaviour, financial decision making, economics, marketing, operations management and strategy. The MBA capstone subject requires students to identify a global strategic issue at a level of importance such that the issue can significantly change the way organisations in a sector operate in the future. Students are tasked with identifying and framing the global issue and developing a pathway that draws on strategy, and at least three (3) other disciplines (e.g. finance, human resources, marketing), to identify how their organisation will address the issue. Students who complete the subject will be better prepared to put in place actions that consider the dynamics of a changing global business environment, the broader context of an organisation and how different functions need to be aligned and integrated to solve complex strategic challenges. As this is a subbject focused on synthesis, integration and the application of previous learning across the entire MBA, no new content will be introduced. However, an assessment overview, facilitated reflection opportunities, student discussion and/or relevant industry engagement will be provided.
