- BA Course

This course starts with an overview of the various business strategies adopted by Asian companies, with a focus on those favoured by Japanese and Chinese corporations in a variety of industries. It then examines the organizational behaviour and business philosophy of selected companies in Japan and China from a comparative perspective before moving onto a cross-cultural analysis of Western and Eastern management practices.

This course is taught using a combination of lecture, tutorial, small group discussion, and case analysis. Practical business applications and case studies of Japanese and Chinese corporations are integrated into the lectures and tutorials throughout the course. The course also requires students to work effectively as a team (4-6 persons) in the preparation of their group presentation. This exercise is designed to enable students to develop practical presentation skills, as well as to enhance their interpersonal, leadership, negotiation and organisational capabilities.
