International Business Law and Ethics

Law has an increasing impact on business. Accordingly, managers need to be aware of how the law regulates business activity, and the legal implications of their decisions and actions. In addition, managers can be confronted with ethical issues in today's business environment. Therefore, an understanding of ethical principles, theories and ethical forms of reasoning is an important adjunct to knowledge of legal requirements for business operations.
This course is structured to provide managers with a basic understanding of the current legal environment of business and ethics. The focus is on aspects of international commercial law that are relevant in today's "global economy". Commercial activity across the boundaries of Nations and the expansion of businesses into foreign markets requires an understanding of regulatory systems outside the domestic sphere. Business managers need to know what regulations apply in unfamiliar markets in order to minimise the risks of doing busines in those markets.
Topics covered include international legal systems and sources of law; international law; sale of goods in the international market; intellectual property; international dispute resolution; and ethics in business.
