This course allows students to analyze how and why New Zealand businesses make operational and strategic decisions. The context is mainly New Zealand registered businesses (exporters, importers, New Zealand owned multinationals).A large proportion of this course and thus the assessment requires students to work in groups developing an innovative business idea and taking that idea to market.
