Subject outline
Firm profitability and even survival is at risk as never before in today's world of globalised markets. Every firm's customers are regularly presented with alternative ways of spending their money as the firm's rivals strive to capture their business, and every firm's customers must be presented with reasons to stay customers of that firm. This requires innovation: new business processes, to deliver higher value or secure lower costs, new products, to capture new customers and to secure the continued loyalty of existing ones, and new qualities of established products, to restore the margins eroded by rising costs and increased competitive pressure. This subject examines and instructs students in methods to make business both more innovative and effective.
