This is an introductory subject for students who have not undertaken previous business studies. It should be undertaken in the first semester. It examines current and potential environmental changes which can influence the conduct of business, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. It specifically addresses the major currents of change which are likely to affect the way businesses are managed in the future; business strategies for coping with these changes; the need for multidisciplinary skills in problem solving; and for the creation of new possibilities and alternatives in business. The subject is presented over five full days, split into two modules of three and two days each. The first module is conducted before the commencement date of formal lectures in each semester.
