The Complete Study & Assessment Guide · S2 2026BSB106 Overview
- QUT Business School
- Semester 2, 2026
- an undergraduate business foundation unit
- a dynamic-markets unit
BSB106 covers market definition, environmental analysis, industry and market forces, competitive advantage, marketing, brand, pricing, buyer behaviour, lifecycle, disruption and evidence-based reflection. It is taught within QUT Business School. It is an undergraduate business foundation unit.
- A market needs a boundary Customer problem, alternatives, geography and time determine what evidence belongs.
- Environment is not strategy A trend becomes useful only through a mechanism connecting it to value and action.
- Business models are systems Changing one segment affects partners, activities, costs, channels and revenue.
- Disruption is relational A technology is disruptive only in relation to incumbents, customers, trajectories and response.
How BSB106 is assessed
| Component | Weight | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Market Environment Analysis | 20% | Official task the landed official record; current LMS weight the landed current LMS record |
| Business Model Analysis | 30% | Official task the landed official record; current LMS weight the landed current LMS record |
| Disruption Analysis and Critical Reflection | 50% | Official task the landed official record; current LMS weight the landed current LMS record |
Official task descriptions appear at the landed official record. Current LMS supplies 20%, 30% and 50% at the landed current LMS record because the official rendered outline does not display weights.
What BSB106 covers
Read Markets, Exchange and Stakeholders as the foundation, Marketing, Segmentation and Brand as the main change in method, and Evidence and Reflective Market Judgement as the final application of the course.
Markets, Exchange and Stakeholders
market · stakeholder · value exchange · define customers, problem, alternatives, geography and stakeholders before analysis02Macro Environment and Evidence
macro environment · trend · source evaluation · connect an external condition to a bounded organisational consequence03Industry and Market Forces
industry force · buyer power · substitute · explain how actors and alternatives affect organisational choices04Competitive Advantage and Business Models
competitive advantage · business model · business-model canvas · test whether customer value, activities, partners, costs and revenue reinforce one another05Marketing, Segmentation and Brand
segmentation · positioning · brand · select a segment and position a credible offer through consistent brand evidence06Pricing and Buyer Behaviour
pricing objective · perceived value · buyer behaviour · align price with objectives, value evidence, costs and behavioural response07Dynamic Markets, Lifecycles and Disruption
product lifecycle · market disruption · response strategy · distinguish ordinary change from a mechanism that reshapes customers, competition or the business model08Evidence and Reflective Market Judgement
evidence-based practice · critical reflection · team evidence · evaluate the evidence and assumptions behind a response and state how practice should changeIt carries credit value controlled by the live study plan. It is positioned as a dynamic-markets unit.
Two team analyses build the market and business-model diagnosis before an individual disruption analysis and reflection.
The retrieved current-offering evidence does not publish a complete assessment weighting for BSB106.
two team analyses and an individual disruption analysis with critical reflection; the source role for each fact is explicit
The operational assessment conditions matter here.
The captured architecture culminates in individual analysis and reflection rather than a separately listed final examination.
What makes BSB106 demanding is concrete: turning broad market evidence into a coherent business-model judgement and then distinguishing real disruption from ordinary competition or change
The current LMS requires an overall final score of 50% or above and states that every assignment need not be passed; the landed current LMS record.

Test a disruption claim
- 1Define the incumbent model and customer job.
- 1Identify changed access, value and cost mechanisms.
- 1Compare adoption and trajectory evidence.
- 1Design response options and a falsification test.
Key terms
- Market
- Set of actors and exchanges organised around needs, offers and alternatives. This chapter uses the concept when students define customers, problem, alternatives, geography and stakeholders before analysis.
- Stakeholder
- Party affecting or affected by organisational value creation. It helps explain the reasoning required to define customers, problem, alternatives, geography and stakeholders before analysis.
- Value exchange
- Transfer in which parties give and receive benefits or resources. Its limit matters because an industry label may be too broad to identify the actual exchange.
- Macro environment
- Broad political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal conditions. This chapter uses the concept when students connect an external condition to a bounded organisational consequence.
- Trend
- Directional pattern supported across observations and time. It helps explain the reasoning required to connect an external condition to a bounded organisational consequence.
- Source evaluation
- Judgement of evidence authority, method, date and relevance. Its limit matters because a list of trends does not establish importance or direction of impact.
- Industry force
- Structural pressure shaping competition and profitability. This chapter uses the concept when students explain how actors and alternatives affect organisational choices.
- Buyer power
- Customer ability to influence price or terms. It helps explain the reasoning required to explain how actors and alternatives affect organisational choices.
- Substitute
- Different offer satisfying a similar underlying need. Its limit matters because counting competitors is not the same as analysing rivalry or profitability.
- Competitive advantage
- Ability to create superior value or operate with a defensible advantage. This chapter uses the concept when students test whether customer value, activities, partners, costs and revenue reinforce one another.
- Business model
- System explaining how an organisation creates, delivers and captures value. It helps explain the reasoning required to test whether customer value, activities, partners, costs and revenue reinforce one another.
- Business-model canvas
- Visual model of customers, value, infrastructure and financial logic. Its limit matters because a completed canvas can contain nine disconnected guesses.
