It is intended that students emerge from this course with an understanding of questions such as: how government and corporate sector differ in their outlooks and modes of opertion, how a regulation is developed and promulgated, and how business can seek to influence the outcome; how legislative battles are fought and how business organizes to shape provisions in legislation; under what conditions can the business sector step in as a substitute for public organizations and how can the government do business; how business, government and possibly the civil sector can work together in partnerships to secure the provision of key public services and infrastructure. In short, the aim of the course is to cultivate the students‘capacity to view problems comprehensively from "both sides", that is, how various business interests view an issue, and how government officials in a variety of agencies and institutions view the same problem. |
