Assignment 2 addresses three tasks. The first task will provide you with the opportunity to examine the concepts of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. The second task requires of you to start thinking about an idea for a venture that you will plan for in Assignment 3 and to team-up with some suitable class-mates who will be your critical evaluators for the purpose of Assignment 3. You are to summarise this idea and demonstrate that you have considered specific aspects to evaluate the initial viability of the idea. The third task requires of you to explore the notion of disruption within the innovation context and to stretch you to think creatively about a particular sector. Task 1 (500 words) 1) Critically discuss the concepts of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship and their connection to each other. Use the some examples to further demonstrate your understanding (500 words). Task 2 (250 words) Think of a new business/venture idea that you would like to plan for during this course. This idea could be a new business, a social enterprise, a community venture or a new intra- organisational venture in the organisation you currently work. Consider the following, then summarise your answers to these four questions (250 words). What is your venture idea? What is the problem your product or service is going to solve? What types of people or what types of companies suffer from this problem? How widespread is this problem? How critical is it to customers that this problem is solved? What is the innovation or competitive advantage behind your product? Task 3 (750 words) Every sector goes through periods of relative calm when innovation is about doing what you do better. But these periods are punctuated by disruption where the rules of the game get rewritten for example by the emergence of a new technology, or by external market changes, or by political events. When discontinuous change happens not all firms survive the transition. At the same time many new entrants see that the rules of the game have changed and that they now have a chance to join the sector. MGT3004 Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship 21 In this activity you need to think about the sector in which your idea for a new business/venture fits. Looking back over the past fifty years or so, try and plot where there has been a major disruption or discontinuity in that sector and what caused it. What response did existing firms have to make to ensure they survived and continued in the sector? Having looked backwards, try and project forwards over the next 10-15 years and think of factors perhaps only on the horizon at the moment which might disrupt the sector. What will firms need to do to ensure they survive and develop with the change rather than being left behind by it? Try and capture the key points of your research in a short summary using the headings below: (1) Looking back what disruptions occurred and why? (2) What did survivors do to adapt and stay in the game? (3) Looking forward, what disruptions might occur and why? (4) What should survivors do to stay in the game?

There is no set question for this task so it is not quite like a standard essay but in most respects it is very similar. You need to make logical arguments, you need to structure your writing, and you need to comply with the usual scholarly conventions. It is a discursive response/discursive essay (a discussion in other words) so you have more freedom than would be the case if there was a central question. What I am asking you to do is to carefully read the documents for the week you have selected analyse them and discuss them in relation to their historical context. The historical context comes mainly from the lecture pods and the class discussion. The weekly reading will usually also be very helpful for understanding the context. (But bear in mind the weekly reading may be focussed on a particular dimension of the context. Contact me if it causes confusion rather than clarification. It shouldnt be necessary to do extra reading for this task, but of course you are welcome to if you want to deepen your understanding. Whatever sources you use you should cite of course (with the exception of class discussion). One way to think of it is that you are being asked to work with documents as an historian would. Below are seven questions you should keep in mind and ask of each document as you come to it. Remember these documents are written for a particular audience at a particular time. They are not written for you so you need to step into the shoes of the intended audience to understand the document. But you also have the benefit of hindsight which you can bring to bear. You know what happened next! The authors of them didnt know they had hopes and expectations, they probably hoped or expected the document would have a certain impact. 1) What are the documents? (Include their relationship with each other.) 2) Whose are the voices (who are speaking) and what is the significance of these people or groups in terms of the documents themselves and the historical context? 3) What is the context in which the documents were produced (and what are the issues)? 4) Who is the intended audience and what are the writers objectives in producing them? 5) Why are these documents significant for historians? 6) How should historians approach these documents what particular problems do they pose for historians?
ASSESSMENT TASK 1: DESCRIPTION This assessment task requires you to analyse how you, as a nursing student, will establish and maintain a culturally appropriate nurse-person therapeutic relationship (N-PTR) with Mrs Windbarra which incorporates her cultural needs. Case study: Mrs Gloria Windbarra is a 76 year old Aboriginal woman who was born and raised in a remote Aboriginal community in northern Queensland. At the age of 22, she married a Torres Strait Islander man, Tommy, and relocated to live in the islands of the Torres Strait. Mrs Windbarra is multilingual with English being her second language. Mr and Mrs Windbarra have five adult children. Three of her children continue to live in the Torres Strait while her other two children live interstate. Mrs Windbarra presented to Thursday Island Hospital with increasing shortness of breath and lethargy. She was diagnosed with heart failure and was subsequently transferred from Thursday Island to a mainland regional hospital for further investigation and management of her heart failure. Mrs Windbarra was admitted to the regional hospitals medical ward and is accompanied by her daughter, Jenny, who is a health professional working in the Torres Strait. Mrs Windbarra also has some extended family living close to the hospital. You are on placement in the medical ward where Mrs Windbarra has been admitted and have been allocated to care for Mrs Windbarra throughout her hospital stay. Task description: Using this case study, describe how you will establish and maintain an ongoing N-PTR with Mrs Windbarra during her hospital stay. Consider how you will achieve cultural safety with Mrs Windbarra. What are Mrs Windbarras likely cultural and holistic needs that should be incorporated into her nursing care? What strategies (. communication style) would you as a nursing student take to ensure a helpful N-PTR? A description of your key strategies is required. Provide a rationale for each strategy, explaining how it relates to the cultural safety and patient centred care you intend to provide. Assessment task 1 consideration points: * Assessment task 1 is a reflective essay, therefore, it is appropriate to write in the first person. ? * Refer to contemporary, peer reviewed references in your essay to support your understanding of culturally safe nursing practice. ? * identify and apply the principles and practices of cultural safety and reflective practice in the care of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples ? * evaluate the impact of colonisation and historical events on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ access and engagement with health services ?
