Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

The legal framework more and more influences the reality of cross-border business in the service sector. This course aims at providing students with the basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills useful for analysing the dynamics and consequences of the interaction between business and public regulations.

The course provides a number of legal parameters and tools for students of international service management, based for the most part in rules found at EU level. In the first half of the course general EU internal market law, competition and public procurement law and data protection will be covered. In the second half we will focus instead in specific business areas and the public regulations applicable to them, looking into the constraints these impose.

 

The relationship between theory and practice will be achieved by integrating the knowledge provided in the course to specific cases of real service corporations. Through its learning activities and assessment this course enhances competencies of problem solving, teamwork, writing up and presenting ideas, coordination of project activities and application of knowledge to practice.
Description of the teaching methods
The course material is delivered through pre-recorded lectures, organised by modules and released in weekly batches.

In addition, the course will include live sessions both for the concentration by itself as well as together with the other concentrations. These will happen at the tail end of the course, upon the release of all the pre-recorded materials.

It is expected that students prepare before classes by reading relevant documents, articles and/or case studies as suggested in the reading schedule made available on canvas.
Feedback during the teaching period
Students will be given feedback via:

I) Weekly quizzes based on the recorded lectures content that will be made available on canvas and then reviewed at one of the live sessions;

II) By attempting the set questions in advance of the live sessions and participating in the group discussions in class before feeding them back to the whole class.
Student workload
Lectures 36 hours
Preparation for class and exam 166 hours
Exam 4 hours
Expected literature

This course will not have a core textbook but selected sources (book chapters and journal articles) available via the CBS library will be linked to on Canvas.
