Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

The legal framework more and more influences the reality of cross-border business in the tourism and hospitality 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 corporations or sectors. 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 operates under a flipped classroom model with material delivered through pre-recorded lectures released in batches.

In addition, the course will include live sessions interspersed between the releases of the pre-recorded lectures. Some of these will focus on the readings and questions set in advance, others in companies/sectors relevant for the various concentrations of the course.

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) 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 and live sessions 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.
