Learning for Success:
A student who has completed this unit and achieved a passing grade should be able to:
1. Recognise the key features of the Australian legal system including its indigenous aspects;
2. Identify and recall key legal concepts;
3. Identify actual or potential legal issues in common business scenarios;
4. Use clear communication skills;
5. Apply knowledge of legal principles to identify legal issues and solve practical legal problems common to business scenarios.
A student should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the link between legal, ethical and managerial issues; apply the background knowledge that you have developed in this unit in a managerial decision making context; consider the cause and effect relationship between the quality of managerial decision making and the potential for legal consequences for the enterprise.
The aim of the tutorials is to support the textbook, lectures and online materials by providing practical exercises to assist the student in learning to link the law and business decisions. When planning the management of legal matters you need to focus your attention on both the current laws and the social underpinnings of those laws.
To get the most out of the tutorials, you should attempt to answer the questions yourself before each class, so you’ll be ready to check and compare your answers and discuss them with your tutorial group. Merely copying and memorising a tutorial answer is not going to help you understand the topic, and succeed in the unit.
Please note that we do not provide pro-forma answers to these questions – so you are strongly advised to attend tutorials for the purpose of checking your own, independently prepared, work. This approach has been shown to increase learning
