BBIM purpose

Here is version 01 of the BBIM purpose that I sent via email on 12th Feb '07 for comment:

The BBIM teaching unit aims to provide learning experiences that prepare graduates who will succeed in a knowledge society.

Knowledge-intensive work involves uncertainty, ambiguity and constant challenges to traditional ways of working. We embrace these qualities and are committed to developing a teaching unit that reflects them in the way we run our undergraduate teaching program.

The BBIM cohort-based model is unique because students experience an integrated business-information management curriculum which uses innovative pedagogies to reflect business-in-practice. Through hands-on experience students learn how cross-disciplinary collaboration creates synergy and drives innovation.

The BBIM teaching unit is dedicated to maintaining a collaborative culture that supports innovative pedagogies for interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
