Handbook

The ultimate purpose of an organisation is to create value, whether it is financial or non-financial.  DPBS1180 introduces students to the fundamentals of how an organisation identifies and taps into sources of value to meet organisational objectives. Starting from an understanding of what value is from different perspectives, students learn basic tools to understand when value is (and is not) created and to measure value. This course focuses on value created from digital strategy, customers and capital for all stakeholders. By taking an active problem-based learning approach, students will be able to appreciate the difference between business value (in a financial sense), sustainable value and social responsibilities.

Links to other courses: Collaboration and Innovation in Business (DPBS1120) introduced students to business models. A business model outlines how an organisation creates and assigns value. Managing Resources (DPBS1170) picks up on the operational dimension of creating value related to choices about resources.
