BUSS4911: Dispute Resolution for Business
2021 unit information
Business relationships, like all relationships, require the ability to resolve disputes quickly, cheaply and without tears. Students of Dispute Resolution for Business learn when to fight and when to fly in business, and what resources can help them make that decision. The unit examines the theory, analysis and practice of dispute resolution methods in Australia and international jurisdictions. It focuses on the primary processes of dispute resolution: negotiation, mediation, arbitration (including domestic and international arbitration), and litigation. High-level communication and dispute resolution skills are developed through practical, activity-based group and individual learning experiences. There are also opportunities to role play participants in the dispute resolution processes; including parties, advocates, third-party facilitators and observers. Students leave this unit equipped to resolve an argument with their roommate over the dishes, while also understanding the ins-and-outs of a cross-border commercial dispute.
