General Information

Overview

Organisations are legal as well as economic entities. Managers are legally required to advance the interests of the organisation, yet firms and businesses operate in a diverse range of environments and as such require different governance systems. In this unit you will address the legal status of organisations and the corporate governance structures that should be established to ensure company directors and managers fulfill their legal and ethical obligations. You will consider international conventions and agreements from organisations such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organisation and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and how these influence legislation within different countries. You will examine the day-to-day legal and management issues faced by organisations, such as employment law, anti-discrimination and OH&S requirements, so that organisations act responsibly and ethically. The unit seeks to increase your awareness and understanding of the legal risks associated with management and business decision making.
