 Develops the core concepts of creativity, innovation and risk evaluation as the cornerstones of enterprise as introduced in preceding units. Creativity is developed in terms of thinking skills, knowledge and motivation. Incremental and radical innovations are discussed. Risk within a systems framework is incorporated into an entrepreneurial model which also emphasises uncertainty. The techniques developed include creative thinking, critical thinking, dialectic argumentation, deconstruction and discovery through analogy. Ba (a Japanese management concept) is introduced as a technique for transforming tacit knowledge into explicit entrepreneurial knowledge for action. The skills are situated in the enterprise environment of legal frameworks, marketing, finances and operations. The unit involves case studies, simulations and role play. Innovation and creativity are focused on the SET area and the human/intuition side emphasised.
