SUBJECT DESCRIPTION
This subject provides students with a solid understanding of the foundations and principles in the study of entrepreneurship and small
business development and management, and a secondary appreciation of concepts and tools used in the management of modern enterprises
including innovation and creativity.
The subject begins with an examination of the nature and operations 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 further enhance students’ critical awareness of management, financial and general business theories, especially in rural and
regional Australia and the development of ‘small businesses’ and/or not‐for‐profit (NGO’s) entities.
It will also reinforce the relevance of management theory to enhancing and informing modern for‐profit and not‐for‐profit management ‘best’
practices.

Academic honesty is a fundamental principle in teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The University requires its
academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work and it
demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by
penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating.
Academic Integrity Procedures (2010, p. 1 of 6)
Academic misconduct includes poor referencing, plagiarism, copying and cheating. You should familiarise yourself with your responsibilities in
relation to Academic Integrity and if you have any questions, direct them to your Course Coordinator. Information can be found on the

submission of a day or partial day up to a maximum of five (5) working days after the due date. Assessment tasks will not
be accepted after the earlier of the following occurrences:
The fifth (5th) working day after the due date; or
Feedback on the assessment task has been returned to any student by the Teaching Team member.
