Subject outline
This subject provides students with a solid understanding of the foundations and principles in the study of entrepreneurship and small business development, and a secondary appreciation of concepts and tools used in the management of modern enterprises. The subject begins with an examination of the nature of entrepreneurship and small businesses then proceeds to how the body of entrepreneurial knowledge has developed over time, particularly small business, both in Australia and overseas. It then examines how managerial actions can be impacted and shaped by the environment, especially in the areas of globalization, ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility. The subject will enhance students' critical awareness of management, financial and general business theories, especially in rural and regional Australia. It will also reinforce the relevance of management theory to enhancing and informing modern management 'best' practice.
