Subject Overview

This specialisation within the Master of Business Development focuses on innovation and product management, which is a key part of business development.
Innovation management is vital to shaping the culture and processes required for innovation success. Product management looks at how to effectively lead and manage the development of new products and services, and eventually launch into a new market.
