In the past decade, issues such as globalisation, deregulation, and the pervasiveness of electronic commerce have resulted in fundamental changes to conventional career opportunities in both the business and government sectors. For that reason, it is an advantage for many professionals to have knowledge and understanding of the legal aspects of business and taxation issues. The development of legal, analytical and writing skills is also becoming increasingly important in professional business practice. Business law is of direct relevance to those involved in professional practice or other advisory roles in the private or government sectors, where knowledge of commercial law and the legal environment is necessary. Studies in this area will enhance relevant skills for students seeking placements in legal, commercial and governmental regulatory and compliance positions anywhere in the world.

This major is offered in conjunction with the School of Mathematical Sciences in the Faculty of Science. Its introduction responds to a national and international shortage of skilled workers in the finance and insurance industries, most notably workers with a rigorous mathematical training. The major can complement any other specialisation within the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics degree families (including the associated double degrees). However, it serves as a particularly suitable complement to specialisations in economics, finance, econometrics, actuarial studies or mathematics. The major should appeal to students who are interested in graduating with high level technical and analytical skills. The acquisition of such skills will not only give graduates a distinct advantage in the competitive job market, but will also provide excellent grounding for postgraduate and research study.

Notes
Whether operating in the corporate, government or non-profit sectors, organisations worldwide highly value managers that are able to multi-skill, work well with people, operate across an entire organisation and see the bigger picture.
The management discipline reflects upon and responds to the external and internal challenges and demands currently faced by managers. Rapid growth in new technologies, intense global competition, the elimination of industry boundaries and the opening of previously closed global markets have characterised the start of the new millennium. As a consequence, the skills necessary to deal with this complex and varied range of factors are necessarily complex and varied themselves.
The discipline content focuses on flexibility and agility at an individual and organisational level. It does so by exploring the fundamentals of individual, group and organisational behaviour and performance, organisational dynamics and the importance of self-awareness, learning and self-management. It also focuses on leadership, change, learning and strategy.
Students will develop an understanding of leadership theory and practice, the means by which change is initiated and supported, the methods for creating, disseminating and applying knowledge, and the theory and application of holistic, systemic and non-linear thinking. The discipline allows students to develop the knowledge and skills required to integrate the demands of maintaining internal stability within the organisation and adaptive capability in the external environment.
To complete the management major in the Postgraduate Diploma in Economics and Commerce, students must complete:

Highly qualified, innovative and international marketing practitioners, supported by well researched and pertinent marketing knowledge, are increasingly in demand.

Continuous improvement and reform are recurring themes for governments throughout the world. This requires the knowledge and skills to understand, manage and adapt to change in fields as diverse as governance, service delivery, management and public enterprise. Global moves towards competitive, flexible and managerial models of public administration force political leaders and managers to face challenges such as sophisticated regulation of privatised utilities, managing contracted services and active engagement with citizens. These challenges are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
The public policy discipline will provide managers with the analytical and managerial skills to deal effectively with continued pressure for reduced budgets, more rigorous accountability and improved services.
