Anti-requisite(s): 77761 Dispute Resolution in Commerce
Description
This subject provides an overview of dispute management and complaints handling systems, together with further consideration of the developing body of dispute resolution and negotiation theory and practice in the commercial context.
There is an increasing demand for the development of dispute resolution systems that avoid an adversarial approach in commercial environments where delay, high legal costs and limited possible outcomes are being perceived as counterproductive in the highly competitive commercial environment. Increasingly there have been legislative responses for providing both processes and process providers for resolving and settling commercial disputes. These developments are also studied in the context of changing corporate structures and cultures and the demands for effective, accessible, cost efficient and ethical methods for dealing with commercial disputes.
