About this Unit
Australia’s industrial, financial and retail sectors are dominated by powerful corporations which engage in a wide variety of competitive and cooperative behaviours. This unit examines how modern corporations position themselves in terms of investment in large-scale production, technological innovation, the manipulation of information, marketing, and cooperative strategies to gain market share and enhance their profitability. It also explores the effects of the interactions of corporate behaviour and public policy, including the governmental function of constructing and regulating explicit market rules of exchange.
