This unit introduces students to researching innovation practices in the Australian media industry with application to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Students will apply human-centred design principles to investigating the innovation challenges of public service media in the Australian regulatory and industry environment. Students will research a policy program or product strategy in response to problems identified by the ABC, prepare a management report detailing proposed problem-solving outcomes and present these proposals to media executives. They will work in groups to undertake and present the outcomes of their research. In doing so they will examine a range of professional issues including commercial and contractual practices and intellectual property, and gain proficiency in relevant professional practices such as strategy and policy development.
