This subject develops the foundations of research, critical problem solving and evidence-based decision-making skills required when undertaking a higher degree research project. Students will gain an understanding of the core structure of the research proposal; research integrity and the importance of positioning a chosen research project to offer significant contribution to new knowledge. Through the compilation and review of emerging constructs from literature, students will establish key concepts for analysis and build a framework for critical evaluation and investigation in the chosen field of study. On completion of this subject, students will understand the interrelationship of concepts, constructs, models and frameworks in research; and possess the skills to communicate this in a structured project proposal capturing their emergent propositions ready for further investigation.

The subject offers students an opportunity to develop a business case for commercialisation of an idea resulting from a student’s own research. This subject will encourage students to communicate and plan to lead others in the research process within organisations including start-ups and build research teams to support practical research outcomes. This subject will focus on building the traits of entrepreneurial leadership for research and innovation and assist students in translating their knowledge and own research into a commercial products or services. Preparing students to be more effective in this area will move research outcomes toward market relevance. Students will work on their own research in order to identify a commercial opportunity, identify the challenges of launching and operating their new product or service resulting in the skills to lead research, innovation and commercialisation in professional practice.
