This unit introduces the business strategy to non-commerce, as well as, commerce majors who seek to be future entrepreneurs/business leaders, providing economic tools and analysis for establishing, sustaining or growing a business. Using a lecture and case study workshop approach with the textbook, online resources, guest speakers and videos, this unit will explore and develop an understanding of all the factors that influence the success of a business. A starting point of this unit will be the definition of a market. It will explore issues of price/demand determination, pricing sensitivity, economic costs and the impact of the business environment. Moving ahead the unit will study the effect of industry-wide factors (such as monopoly, oligopoly and monopolistic competition) and economy-wide factors (such as economic growth, inflation, interest rates and foreign exchange rate) on the business performance and competition strategy.
This unit focuses on the recent economic and social development of selected Asian economies, especially the role of the business sector. It explores the development state of selected Asian economies and the stages, causes and consequences of their economic growth. The growing internationalisation of these economies, in particular the stages of their business growth, processes and outcomes of economic policy reforms will also be examined.
This unit examines the relationship between humans, cultures and the corporation. Relying on anthropological and linguistic analysis of corporate activity in western and non-western settings, the unit examines the nature of sociability inherent to the corporation, and the effects corporations have upon culture and social life. Topics covered may include: the differing forms and meanings of corporations across cultures; the changing relations between humans and corporations, and their implications for understandings of human subjectivity; different forms of speech and language used within corporate settings; the ways in which social facts such as kinship and gender shape and are shaped by corporations. Drawing on ethnographic case studies as well as anthropological frameworks, the unit approaches corporations not as givens, but as social products that can be compared to other cultural forms.
The unit examines basic concepts of intercultural communication: face and politeness in language; the relation between cultural values and discourse; cultural variation in speech acts, turn taking rules and formulaic patterns; cultural differences in the organization of written and spoken discourse; and examines their interaction in intercultural communication in the global context. Case studies drawn from a wide variety of cultures will provide opportunities to examine language use in light of broader cultural, political and social issues such as stereotyping and discriminatory language, cultural expectation and attitudes, cultural awareness training, language reform and policies.
In this unit physical science of climate change processes will be briefly reviewed, followed by a focus on future climate, including discussions of climate models, projections, and impact scenarios. The unit will then discuss observed climate trends, including extremes, and associated impacts on the biophysical environment now and in the future. The second part of the unit provides a brief overview of the international policy frameworks for dealing with climate change and global and local mitigation responses. Finally, recognising that some degree of climate change is inevitable, the unit discusses climate change adaptation across various sectors.
We are transitioning into a new era, where a changing climate presents new challenges for society. You will learn how we can adapt, change and mitigate to prevent the most dangerous impacts of climate change. You will analyse the risks presented by climate change to biodiversity, food and water security, cities and settlements, health, mental health, society and the economy and pose responses to manage those risks. You will then consider the transitions required for the new normal, and how to empower and enable those transitions.
This unit and its complementary unit CLI1100 follow Working groups I, II and III of the Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) Sixth assessment report (AR6). These elective units can be taken together, or as standalone units, and are designed to complement any major across Monash by teaching you the fundamentals of climate change, its impacts and how we can respond over a broad range of disciplines.

This unit will deliver a structured introduction to the Australian healthcare system. Students will gain a preliminary knowledge of the organization, current policies and policy debates, funding arrangements and emerging trends in healthcare practice. A feature of the unit is an inclusive approach to the understanding of health. This approach will consider aged care, disability, mental health, and alcohol and drug components in addition to established health services. Case studies will be used to consolidate the theoretical material. Students will develop a reflective understanding of their own experience of health care, and be able to identify their assumptions regarding health and the practice of health care. Overarching themes will include an overview of the health system, specialist sectors and working in the health space.
Multi-disciplinary science teams are often required to solve complex issues facing society, like climate change or food security. Scientists must communicate effectively with diverse audiences (e.g., from different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures) and scientists from disciplines outside their own.
SCI1000 will provide you with the skills essential for communicating and collaborating well. You will learn how to:
– Find and appropriately acknowledge scientific literature.
– Critically analyse scientific literature and translate its message to your readers; in a meaningful way.
– Communicate about science to a broad range of readers; in written, spoken, and visual form.
– Explore how science has evolved and assess its impact on society and the environment.
– Collaborate effectively with others on tasks and projects.
After completing this unit, you will have gained skills essential for your studies and those highly sought after by employers in all disciplines and industry areas.

The unit introduces students to practical and theory-based approaches to understanding, applying and performing professional and social intercultural skills. The unit draws together domestic and international students and provides a platform for students to learn together and from each other. Developing communication and presentation skills for diverse cultural audiences is a key component of this unit. Students participate in a series of interactive learning activates and workshops to better understand the nature of ‘culture’, the value of intercultural skills, and the strategies to apply these skills. The unit engages with the internationalised workplace in Australian and in international contexts. For assessment, students submit reviews and reflections and undertake smaller group tasks. The tasks will include a field trip to a culturally significant location either virtual; on campus; or within the Melbourne city area. These tasks build toward a presentation to stakeholders of a real-world intercultural challenge.
This interactive unit examines principles and practices of leadership which are vital for aspiring leaders of the future. Through a personal portfolio of leadership concepts, character, and competencies, you will develop your potential for growth as strategic leaders of the 21st century organisations. Inspiring stories of leadership successes and failures from exemplary leaders in the past and present will guide your leadership journey to find your own authentic voice. A plethora of cutting-edge leadership materials (research articles, movies and videos, case studies, role-plays, games, self-assessments) will also be featured weekly to enhance your learning experience.
The unit introduces you to a selection of the most pressing challenges facing the contemporary world, economic, political and social. Topics include global health and disease; crisis, conflict and disaster; environment, cities and sustainability; and global commerce, technology and consumption.
Literature is often seen as an aspect of a specific culture, but some of the world’s most memorable and significant literary works are about journeys between cultures and the crossing of boundaries beyond one’s own cultural horizons. This unit is an investigation of a number of key literary and cultural texts that explore concepts of cultural difference and offer insights into diverse cultural environments. These texts produce new and provocative ways of looking at how humans have negotiated and continue to negotiate cultural identities in, transnational and global contexts. This unit offers you the opportunity to study a range of texts that bring to light connections between and among cultures.
In this unit, we ask you to think about the vast and growing inequities in health that exist across the world and the challenges for people living in developing countries. We explore their underlying causes including: globalisation, transnational trade, tourism, rapid development, social and political transitions, climate change, violence and insecurity. Using research reports and field experience from practical projects, we examine the wider context for working in international settings as well as the issues faced by Indigenous peoples, migrants and refugees. We explore our responsibilities as ‘global citizens’ and we challenge you to think about ways you could make a difference.
The social issues that you read about in the news and on social media also come into play within organisations. In this unit you will explore how social issues influence organising and in turn how organising influences social issues. Adopting diverse theoretical perspectives, this unit will give you the tools to challenge the status quo and analyse how we might solve complex social issues. This unit will allow you to reflect on and analyse a range of ethical, social and cultural challenges confronting organisations and society today. Assessments will encourage you to consider multiple sources of knowledge (academic literature, pop culture, and case studies) and to articulate your knowledge both in written text and visually.
