Businesses of all sizes and types operate in a global environment. This unit provides students the opportunity to consider the variety of business perspectives and complexities faced by executives and managers as they operate within the global marketplace. This unit emphasises research, critical appraisal, and problem solving within highly-competitive (and often unfamiliar) business situations. While conducting business across borders, managers are faced with challenges that require them to have some understanding of different cultures, political structures, trade systems, social norms, marketing and Human Resource Management (HRM) practices. This unit seeks to equip students with the foundation knowledge to successfully manage in this diverse international business environment.
Students must have passed FBL5010.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:

Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
On-campus students are introduced to the concepts that are relevant in understanding the principles and practices central to conducting business across borders. A blend of different experiences including the presentation of fundamental ideas, the opportunity for small group discussions, activities and short videos. These interactive seminars go on to provide students with the opportunity to discuss in more detail, the application of a number of concepts covered in the readings and the presentations. Most of this work is done in small groups discussion, allowing students to develop their oral communication, reasoning and problem solving skills, in addition to encouraging a student centred approach to learning. The seminars also allow students to get feedback on the development of their assessment tasks. Industry leaders will feature as guest lecturers, enabling learners to make the connections between theory and practical application. Online learning management system (Blackboard) will support the collation and dissemination of information for all students. Where practicable, recorded lectures will be available online, in addition to guided support material, review questions and assessment support. Assessment methods provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, research skills and written communication skills.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
