The negotiation exercises will provide you with an opportunity to attempt strategies and tactics in a low-risk environment, to learn about yourself and how you respond in specific negotiation situations.

\n1. to expose you to real-world environmental challenges in the field,
\n2. to demonstrate that environmental issues/problems are multi-faceted and interdisciplinary issues that require knowledge from diverse disciplines,
\n3. to show that the web of political, cultural, social and economic relationships makes environmental challenges difficult, but not impossible, to solve.
\nIn this way, ENV 3102 will contribute to the ability of the BES programme to graduate qualified environmental professionals who can work competently in the field, consider environmental issues from different perspectives, and propose creative, complex solutions.
\n
\nLEARNING OUTCOMES
\nENV 3102 will examine the following three core themes in the Philippines:
\n1. rainforest loss and destruction, and the effectiveness of various restoration regimes;
\n2. primary threats to marine biodiversity, and the impact of marine protected areas;
\n3. conservation of terrestrial wildlife, current research, and the impact of ecotourism.
\n
\nIn addition, ENV 3102 will expose you to other important issues, which may include: geothermal energy as an alternative to traditional power generation, sustainable rice production, threats posed by mining to agriculture and biodiversity, influence of environmental destruction on vulnerability to natural disasters, etc.
\n
\nIn exploring these themes, by the end of ENV 3102, you will be able to:
\n· describe three of the primary threats to biodiversity in SE Asia,
\n· explain how the complex interplay among widespread poverty, land ownership, economics, corruption and an extraordinarily rich biota exacerbates threats to biodiversity,
\n· outline the history and extent of deforestation in the Philippines and the impacts it has on all of the nation’s ecosystems,
\n· apply basic field techniques to assess the effectiveness of various conservation initiatives,
\n· think critically and creatively about approaches to environmental conservation,
\n· describe key threats to wildlife in SE Asia and the importance of emblematic taxa,
\n· appreciate some of the practical and logistic challenges involved in conservation fieldwork,
\n· summarize and critically evaluate the primary literature,
\n· place your work in context,
\n· think creatively about the next questions in a line of inquiry,
\n· design a project,
\n· critique and receive criticism from your peers.

The previous field studies have been for periods of 4-5 weeks overseas in Thailand and Malaysia. Whilst overseas, students undergo orientation workshops, meet peers in host universities, visit potential field sites before conducting an intensive period of fieldwork in small groups of 3-5 students. The module concludes with (group and individual) project report writing and presentations.

\r\n
\r\nThe course targets students who wish to seek some foundational knowledge of the principles of human interactions in the workplace. Departing from the more conventional approaches, students will examine the dynamics of and constraints to individual and organizational behaviours in the context of the challenges posed by an increasingly competitive global landscape.
\r\n
\r\nBesides looking into the structure of industrial organizations, individual behaviours, thoughts and feelings of organizational members are also explored with reference to social processes. The themes covered in the course would provide students with a range of concepts with which to make sense of the human resource challenges arising out of companies’ needs to strategically adapt themselves to the forces of technological change and business imperatives.
\r\n
\r\nSome of the issues that this course will explore include areas like how firms are accommodating themselves to business imperatives by re-structuring their operational processes and value chains; industrial relations in the new economy; and the management of emotions and perceptions in an increasingly diverse work place environment. Finally, in the light of all these, students would be invited to critically evaluate how multiple ‘intelligences’- emotional, social and professional – can be developed and tapped upon to help them effectively carry out the multi-faceted roles that they are oftentimes called upon to fulfil.

\r\n
\r\nIn the globalized workplace, everyone must respond to a rapidly changing society and constantly shifting demands and opportunities. Information and technological change are modifying organizations and bringing added emphasis on knowledge and knowledge workers. Because knowledge constantly makes itself obsolete, the pressure is on individuals to adopt a learning ethic and continually apply new knowledge to problems and opportunities.
\r\n \r\n\r\n\t- \r\n\t\tGlobalization, technology and customization
\r\n\t- \r\n\t\tChanging paradigms of management
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n 2. Structure of Organizations
\r\n
\r\nThis segment of the course will examine how organizations strategically respond to the demands of the globalized environment by creating a value-enhancing supply chain process to give them a cutting edge either in terms of superior technology, efficiency, fast-response time, innovation, or great customer service. In this connection, we will be looking at various ways by which organizations structure their operational processes to create value for their customers, with an emphasis on how jobs are best designed to support those processes and its impact on the productivity, morale, safety, and effectiveness of workers. This part of the course will also look at the ways by which the varied relationships involved in the work process impact on the effectiveness of operational processes and the supply chain. References and illustrations to these concepts will be made by looking at how industrial organizations are structured in the context of the contemporary East Asian environment.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n3. People and Processes in Organizations
\r\n
\r\nAn important part of organizational life involves working with and through people. In the context of changing business paradigms, the ability to negotiate through the web of organizational hierarchies and complexities becomes paramount to one's success at work. Hence, this segment emphasizes on people and their behavioural and emotional interactions with one another at the workplace. It would explore the range of social and emotional competencies required by individuals to perform and contribute effectively in one's roles as a peer, team member and leader. Central to the discussion of the segment would be emphases on theories and concepts that would enable students to find new perspectives and approaches in managing relationships in organizations. In addition, the intricacies of managing the politics of interactions would be investigated through exploring the dynamics of peer-to-peer; superior-to-subordinate and customer-to-supplier interactions. Without a doubt, an amalgamation of the know-how to manage one's emotion, an ability to negotiate role-identities and the awareness to recognize the significance of one's roles in an organization, would be a catalyst to creating synergy at work and achieving a satisfactory level of work performance.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n4. The Self in Organizations
\r\n
\r\nThis segment examines the multifaceted tasks and challenges encountered by individuals in an organizational setting. As organizations strive to become more competitive in the global business environment, individuals are expected to manage new forms of pressures and relationships. Hence, the ability to make sense of and develop one's capabilities is of utmost importance to perform effectively in the highly competitive work place of today. Change is inevitable, and the premium is on the adaptability of the individual to make the transitions through changes more effectively and easily. In the light of these unprecedented demands on students whose entry to the workplace is imminent, this segment of the module will focus on the individual's role in managing change, the imperative to learn and manage knowledge; and his/her strategic plan and choices in managing his/her career development. The need to develop multiple competencies as well as reframe one's mental models to remain relevant is also expounded on to encourage students to think and consider beyond his/her current role identities.

Since I am currently planning the 2013-14 module, some changes should be expected.

\nJapan’s postwar economic miracle was not experienced evenly. Industrial pollution, wasteful construction projects, and rural depopulation damaged human health and the physical landscape of many regions around the country. Two decades after the collapse of the bubble economy, many places continue to struggle. However, there is hope, with many people fighting to revitalize their communities in the face of economic and demographic problems. In this module students investigate the revitalization efforts of a handful of communities in Kumamoto Prefecture, particularly through tourism. Students will meet government officials, citizens, and business owners who care deeply about their communities and strive to develop ways to share the places they love with tourists.
\n
\nThe field study begins with one week of instruction at NUS, with class time devoted to background reading and group presentations on the histories of revitalization and environmental concerns in the places we will visit. You will also have some cross-cultural training to prepare you for Japan. Then we will spend ten days in Japan visiting locations critical to understanding Japan’s recent environmental past, as well as destinations that exemplify eco-centered revitalization efforts. For instance, we will explore several villages around the volcanic region of Mt. Aso, where entrepreneurs have developed farmstays that grow organic food and inns that feature natural hot springs, all in an attempt to reverse rural depopulation. Also, we will visit the city of Minamata, location of mercury poisoning in the 1950s and 60s, as well as more recent revitalization efforts to rebuild its contaminated bay become a national “Model City for the Environment.” Finally, we will visit Nagasaki, site of the second atomic bombing by the U.S. during the Pacific War and a vibrant city today. With the recovery of the Tohoku region at the forefront of people’s minds today, we will look to Nagasaki’s own recovery for any potential lessons. Along the way we will hear from entrepreneurs and local officials focused on the dual issues of revitalization and environmental sustainability.

It is true that Arabic is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Our approach, however, makes it less taxing and fun. The very experience of learning a completely new script system is thrilling. To begin with, you will learn how to read and write Arabic scripts, and how to combine them to form words. You will be guided though this systematically with sufficient practice. This provides you with a strong foundation that makes your journey of learning Arabic a pleasant one. Later, you will learn how to communicate in Arabic on topics, such as greetings, introductions, asking about objects, countries and nationalities, numbers, and jobs.
\r\n
\r\nThis module is meant for complete beginners. The first 6 weeks of the module are on how to read and write Arabic scripts and how to use the 'Tashkeel' Diacritics effectively; common everyday conversations and basic grammar points are integrated along the way. From week 7 onwards, we will follow a conversation-based/communicative approach to learning Arabic both in lecture sessions and tutorials. Grammar points and sentence structures are based on the conversations, and explained in an inductive manner. This is accompanied by sufficient practice exercises. Also, some phonological and morphological features of the language, such as assimilation, elision, and connected speech are introduced. Likewise, simple reading passages will be integrated. Aiming at equal progress in all skills of the language, authentic listening comprehension exercises, sentence writing, and short paragraphs composition will also be incorporated.

Why have some countries industrialised faster than others? In particular, the manufacturing industries in some countries have remained backward and depended heavily on the use of labour while in other countries, they have become more advanced and relied more on the use of capital. This module discusses the theory and concepts that relate to industrialisation. It also investigates the industrial experiences of other countries particularly the Northeast Asian countries, and the lessons for Southeast Asia. We shall focus on Singapore's industrial development experience, and how it compares with other SE Asian countries.
\n
\nThis module consists of four parts: (1) conceptual framework, (ii) Northeast Asian experiences focusing on Japan and Korea, (iii) Southeast Asian country experiences such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, and (iv) sectoral analysis such as textile and clothing, information and communications technology, and automotive industries.

\r\nSS1204T: Labour Laws in Singapore
\r\n
\r\nLecturer : A/P Ravi Chandran (course coordinator)
\r\n
\r\nSession : Special Semester: 2013/2014
\r\n
\r\nCourse Objectives:
\r\n
\r\nThe course introduces students to the development of industrial relations and labour laws in Singapore. Students will be able to understand why labour relations are the way they are in Singapore. However, the course is not purely historical. A substantial part of the course is aimed at looking at the current legal problems faced by employees and employers in Singapore. The objective of the course is that at the end of it, students while appreciating the history of industrial relations and labour laws in Singapore would be able to confidently make informed decisions concerning current employment issues without falling into legal pitfalls. This course will be of general relevance to all, as students are either employees or employers.
\r\n
\r\nCourse Outcomes
\r\n
\r\nUpon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
\r\n
\r\n1. Understand typical legal issues which may arise in an employment context and
\r\n2. Take appropriate measures to deal with such issues, either before or after such issues arise.
\r\n
\r\nCourse Outline:
\r\n
\r\nThe course deals with the rights and obligations of employers and employees and can be divided into 3 main parts.
\r\n
\r\nThe first relates to contractual issues, since as between the employer and employee there will be a contract. Issues examined include matters like whether the employee can moonlight or make use of confidential information, who has the right to intellectual property created in the course of work, how termination can be effected, whether there must there be a justification for termination and whether redundancy payments must be paid?
\r\n
\r\nThe second part relates to statutory obligations of employers. There are various statutes relating to employment in Singapore, such as the Employment Act, CPF Act, Retirement Age Act, Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, Workplace Safety and Health, Employment of Foreign Manpower Act and Work Injury Compensation Act. Without knowing these statutes, many of which carry criminal sanctions for breaches, a business can easily find itself in trouble. Prosecution for breach of theses statutes is a very common occurrence.
\r\n
\r\nThe third part relates to industrial relations. It looks at the history of industrial relations and discusses what unions can do and cannot do. Though unions in Singapore may have less power in some respects as compared to those in some other countries, they still have a very useful role to play and this role is examined.
\r\n
\r\nFurther, the course also looks at methods of dispute resolution such as, mediation. Aside from looking at legal perspectives, some issues will also be discussed from a HR perspective. For instance how would an action on the part of the employer (even though it may be legal) have an implication on employee motivation? In addition, it would be examined how a business can protect itself better in light of the various laws. Some comparative examples would also be examined.
\r\n
\r\nReading Lists
\r\n
\r\nBasic Reading:
\r\n
\r\nEmployment Law in Singapore (Lexis/Nexis) FOURTH EDITION 2014 (older editions are now are out-dated).
\r\n
\r\nSupplementary Reading: Various cases, articles and web based resources will be referred to as the course progresses.
\r\n
\r\nAssessment Methods
\r\n
\r\nClass participation: 20%
\r\nGroup Assignment 20%
\r\nFinal Examination 60%
\r\n
\r\nClass Participation - refers to participation in class in the form of answering questions, asking questions or sharing experiences. This is extremely important. Asking questions, for instance, forces you to think and probe further. However, needless to say, ultimately what counts is quality and not quantity. Here is the marking guide:
\r\n
\r\nBelow 10 - Does not turn up for classes often or most of the time not prepared
\r\n10-12 – Answers only when called; superficial understanding
\r\n13-14 – Volunteers to answer/ask questions, quite good understanding
\r\n15-16 – Volunteers to answer/ask questions quite consistently and good understanding
\r\n16 and above – Exceptional; has read up well, actively participates/contributes in class, asks critical/detailed queries
\r\n
\r\nGroup Assignment - Each group would typically consist of 4 persons. There will be 1 group assignment. It would be structured and would involve answering highlighted questions in the tutorial. There will be no presentation. It will test among other things, understanding and application. This is a “group project” and hence there should be a collaborative effort. If it suspected that there is no collaborative effort (eg: the writing styles or approaches are very obviously different), marks may be deducted. In addition, there should be no free-riders. Hence if a group member/s has not contributed much to the project, please inform the instructor who will deal with it accordingly.
\r\n
\r\nFinal Examination - will be "open-book" (2-hour duration). You can bring in any relevant material which is not in breach of copyright law. Since it is an open book examination, the emphasis would not be on whether you have memorized certain topics. Rather the emphasis would be on your thinking/reasoning skills.

A number of theories and principles relating to each one of the functions will be discussed so that students can begin to acquire a variety of perspectives from which to understand some of the challenges facing managers today.
\n
\nThe management portion of the module attempts to give students an understanding of the basic functions of management in the context of the business challenges facing organizations today. Starting from a short introduction on the evolution of managerial thought, this module will take students through basic theories and models of the planning and decision processes, followed by a discussion of structural designs and organizational culture. The inter-personal dynamics of managing individuals and teams, together with the motivational aspects of managing people will be highlighted. The module will conclude with a survey of the control process by introducing concepts related to just-in-time inventory and supply chain management.
