Brief profile

 

Dr Vanessa Ratten has been an academic for over ten years, lecturing in both undergraduate and postgraduate areas (Masters, MBA and Executive MBA) in a wide range of subjects including Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Strategic Management. She has taught at universities both in Australia and the United States.

She is currently teaching into the Masters of Management (Entrepreneurship and Innovation) degree. The Master of Management (Entrepreneurship and Innovation) degree is developed for students with the will to create business opportunities and to manage innovation across diverse sectors in society. The degree brings together students from a diverse mix of academic backgrounds ranging from engineering, arts and humanities and science to management in a way that facilitates dynamic multidisciplinary innovation and exchange of ideas. Innovation and entrepreneurial activity provides a significant opportunity to directly address the world's economic and social challenges and to support prosperity. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation program's main objective is to equip students with the tools and skills necessary to develop ideas, to lead and to manage entrepreneurial activities and to create new business ventures, and to develop and sustain innovation practice across corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors, and in small, medium and large scale enterprises. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation degree offers opportunities for an independent research thesis project.
