10 cp
Prerequisites MGMT203 Managing Organisations
Teaching Organisation This unit is to be delivered in a mixed mode. The Study Materials will be written in distance education format and will be used to introduce and explore relevant concepts. The students will also attend two on-campus residentials per semester for face-to-face classes which will enhance understanding and develop skills and will involve guided discussions, group activities, videos and other interactive activities.

This unit aims to introduce the concepts underpinning business law. As most commercial exchanges of goods and services are based on contract, the law of contract is at the heart of business law. In addition to the principles of business law, a basic knowledge of the principles of property law is also required because the exchange of goods involves a transfer of title from seller to buyer. This unit introduces students to the basic principles of law, particularly as they relate to business, and examines this through two fundamental commercial activities, setting up a business and doing business.
