Why Sarah enjoys teaching in the MBA programme
I enjoy teaching MBA students because of their diversity, unique perspectives, and industry experience. I will cultivate a learning environment where MBA students learn law from assignments, class and each other. In class, students will review and discuss cases and laws to develop their critical thinking, logical analysis, and presentation skills. I look forward to bringing my over ten years of academic experience to the MBA programme.
What global perspective is reflected in your course/teaching?
My Business Law course not only covers domestic business law, but also covers international business law. We will study the impact of international law on global business. This course will raise students awareness of international business laws and provide students with the tools to interpret and analyse these laws.
