Description
To provide learners with a basic understanding of the Industrial Relations
practices of Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, United States, United
Kingdom and Germany.
Range of Variables
1 This is a course which can be altered to meet the needs of the
learners without materially affecting the course:

- The lecturer will cover the Industrial Relations in the countries
shown in the syllabus, allowing 2x2 hours per country.

- If learners are in the class from countries other than the six shown
they will still be required to present the main assignment on their country.
For example a Malaysian learner would discuss Malaysian Industrial Relations.

2 Because of possible language difficulties learners will not present
their major assignments to the group. Copies will be made and distributed.

3 The intention is that this unit would be offered to overseas learners
in lieu of Managing Operation - Workplace Practice which is irrelevant to them.

4 Despite (3) there is no reason why it could not be offered as an
elective for Australian learners.
