Businesses are increasingly expanding their global reach with increased numbers of companies operating in Asia. Many Australian companies are engaged in outsourcing activities and other forms of collaborations. Asia is an important part of the global economy with more than 60% of the world’s population. The collaboration of Australia and Asia requires graduates and professionals to develop an appreciation of how businesses operate across different boundaries and the role of Asia in the world. This unit provides you with the practical experience of an international study tour in Asia or a Pacific Island interpreted in the light of ethical business principles including, where appropriate, the application of Social Innovation and enterprise in practice. The unit will develop your knowledge and skills in cross cultural and business values, business trends, foreign markets, and social, economic and health and wellbeing issues at the micro level in Asia. The unit includes seminars and a supervised study tour.
