Business, Governance & Ethics in Asia

This inter-disciplinary subject focuses on the Asian business environment, with a particular emphasis on Southeast Asia. It uses economic, cultural, political and legal lenses to view and discuss key aspects of doing business in that region, touching on topics such as globalisation, corporate governance, the role of the state in business, the concept of “Asian values”, ethics and corruption. Seminars will rely on case studies of Asian companies and business events. Throughout the course, participants are expected to evaluate critically how companies in that region are managing their relationships with governments, the private sector and other key stakeholders.
