Pub­lic Reg­u­la­tions: Ser­vice and In­nov­a­tion

Course content

The legal framework more and more influences the reality of cross-border business in the service 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.
