On Monday 27th March, 2006, UniSA sets sail with the first in a series of
Hypotheticals on subjects of great importance and relevance to Australian
business.
Based on the famous programs of the same name presented by Geoffrey
Robertson QC, these are not merely presentations or discussions: a
moderator presents a scenario that poses
challenges for each of the experts on the panel
to
solve in the blaze of the spotlights with just their wits, experience and
knowledge to guide them. It’s intellectual improvisation. And blood-sport
for the mind.
As the university attuned to the real world, we take great pleasure in
presenting the first of these real-world scenarios to stimulate, provoke and
challenge you.
Our plot will follow the progress of a family
business venture in to the Asian market and will explore some of the
contemporary moral, ethical, business, cultural and legal conundrums faced
in the process.
Panel members will play an integral role by providing insight, expertise and
sharing their personal experiences, both good and bad, about international
trade. The hypothetical will entice lively discussion, addressing our topic
from a range of different perspectives and teasing out the key issues for
the benefit of the audience.
This event offers something different from the standard networking function
or seminar series. You will be entertained, amused and possibly even
astonished, but no matter what, will come away from the event with a
heightened sense of knowledge and appreciation of international trade and
have first hand exposure to some of Adelaide’s leading business players in
the Asian arena.
Drinks, nibbles and networking opportunities will be provided both pre and
post the Hypothetical event.
The Division of Business sees the hypothetical forum as a new and
interactive way to engage with our
Alumni and the
business community. We invite you to share this intellectual experience with
us.
