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.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Understand how key institutions, rules and players interact in the Southeast Asian business environment;
- Appreciate the tensions generated by globalisation in the region;

- Improve their understanding of how culture impacts business;
- Learn about key governance issues faced by institutions and governments in the region;
- Exhibit greater awareness of ethical decision-making in business; and
- Acquire concepts for developing a strategy to deal with corruption issues.
