Overview
Regulatory oversight and control are increasingly shaping the development of economies and business. Managing business regulation and compliance is a fundamental component of every business operation whether these regulations are by law or self-regulatory. This unit will provide a framework for understanding regulation, government and industry regulators and the range of regulatory methods employed to achieve law enforcement and compliance with business regulation.
Adopting a case study approach, students will explore the meanings and limitations of regulation in different economic and business contexts such as corporations, environment and sustainability, corporate social responsibility, financial services, taxation and workplaces in Australia and regulation practice in the Asia Pacific region.
