On the social front, there is a rising interest among employees to create something meaningful on their own. Increasingly, employees have a strong need for individual autonomy and expression in their workplace. In the absence of such freedom, talented employees may leave out of frustration to search for an institution that can provide the meaning and the environment to achieve their self-actualization. Corporate entrepreneurship is one method of stimulating and capitalizing on employees’ need to think of new ideas and do things better for their organisation. On a business level, an organization needs self-renewal, which involves transformation through redefinition of its business concepts, reorganization of its business relationships and reengineering of its business processes. Creating a new venture from scratch is challenging, but developing it within an existing organization is a totally different ball game. This course focuses on corporate entrepreneurship with four key elements: new business venturing, innovativeness, selfrenewal and proactiveness. It has two primary objectives. First, the course aims to enable the students to apply corporate entrepreneurship-related concepts in practice. Second, it seeks to broaden the students’ education by helping them to appreciate the application of corporate entrepreneurship knowledge to companies.

What obstacles are preventing MNCs from growing their business in emerging markets and what can be done to convert these challenges into opportunities? All companies operating in emerging markets face two major hurdles: low purchasing power and a high number of institutional voids (e.g. poor infrastructure, limited access to health and education, pollution, lack of transparency and a weak regulatory framework). Succeeding in such an environment requires addressing both issues simultaneously. These organizations have to learn how to serve customers with very different purchasing power and needs.

Often that is done with the help of external capital or finance . In financing their early stage ventures, founders have to evaluate the potential of business growth, its risk, liquidity needs, information environment and how much of decision making control they are willing to give up to the potential investors. Importantly, the capital markets that founders face – and private equity investing more generally – differ fundamentally from capital markets considered in standard corporate finance. Founder ventures are young, often unprofitable companies, with short operating histories and little capital. These ventures face exceptionally higher degrees of uncertainty, constraining financing and creating difficult decisions about financial contracting, keeping in mind that today’s financial decisions may have implications for future opportunities and choices. Further, available capital markets for privately held companies are predominantly “deal markets” where terms and valuations are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, where investors can add value and are actively involved with the companies they finance. Throughout this Financing Founders course, we will emphasize financial opportunities and decisions of founders and private equity investors investing in these founders. We will attempt to take the perspectives of both founders and investors as some students may want to start their own businesses or be part of emerging businesses, while others would be interested in participating directly in the growth of venture capital and private equity.

We’ll learn a framework for incorporating these Cs into pricing decisions, before discussing how to adapt our decisions for several behavioural considerations not captured in the framework. We’ll conclude this half by learning empirical tools for measuring the value our customers derive from our products.

Martin Luther King Jr. Mahatma Gandhi. Oprah Winfrey. What sets some leaders apart, making them irresistibly magnetic? Successful leaders inspireand energize others. They exude a strong presence, establish meaningful connections, and tell captivating stories. The question is: Can these qualities be cultivated? Absolutely. But you won’t learn it by sitting through yet another PowerPoint lecture. Embodied learning, originating from cognitive psychology, suggests that our bodies play a significant role in how humans perceive, comprehend, and behave when learning new skills. Embodied leadership takes this concept further, asserting that the body serves as a conduit for leadership, integrating language, action, and emotions to enact true change. This course is rooted in the belief that the mind and body are inextricably linked, and both must be engaged to achieve peak leadership effectiveness. Leaders occupy the center stage and are constantly under the spotlight of employees, investors, customers, and the media. Today’s leaders need to be resilient, visionary, engaging, and persuasive amidst a landscape characterized by perpetual change, escalating complexity, and fierce competition. This requires a set of competencies that do not come naturally, but must be developed. To be an impactful leader, technical expertise and knowledge alone are insufficient. The way you present yourself and interact with others will determine your success. By honing these physical skills and learning about leadership while engaging both mind and body, you will cultivate resilience and agility – essential traits in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world.

Over time, Chinese phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar have undergone significant changes.

This would be followed by how a Singapore/Asian company could expand its business globally. Case studies would cover both high-tech and non-technology sectors with IT as an enabler. Students can expect to gain an understanding of the challenges and dynamics of the global markets, an MNCs’ highly-matrix organisational structures, basics of global product launch, as well as practical tips on how their own future entrepreneurial start-ups could penetrate the global markets. This course is more of a business course than a technical one, emulating some elements of EMBA. It incorporates elements of corporate business management training for senior business executives. Course participants are encouraged to think and plan like business leaders. Current strategic issues of global businesses would be discussed, as in corporate boardrooms among top-level executives. A fair degree of a practitioner's approach to strategic business planning will be adopted. For instance, discussions on case studies and business strategies would focus more on their impact and strategic value, rather than be based on specific academic models. Multiple macro level factors are transforming globalisation at both business and technological fronts, with unprecedented uncertainty. In addition to the usual international marketing contents, we would touch on the changing facets and evolution of the global economies, the opportunities and challenges on the horizon, and how the C-level business executives typically navigate through turbulent waters.

Having data collections statically available for querying by interested parties on demand is increasingly becoming the way of the past. Instead, a new paradigm, called Data Streaming, has emerged recently. In this paradigm, data is bundled into high-throughput \"streams\" that are sharded eciently across a large number of network nodes. Consumers, sometimes counted in hundreds of thousands, or millions, \"subscribe\" to data subsets and are notied when new data becomes available, being under the obligation to process it immediately, or lose it. Consequently, data storage is no longer centralized, but rather distributed into many smaller-sized abstract collections. This new approach to \"Big Data\" requires a new set of tools, platforms, and solution patterns. In this course we propose to explore several facets of this new paradigm: Platforms that implement Data Streaming, such as Kafka.

Second, it examines the processes whereby the IMO and other international institutions establish universally-accepted international rules and regulations governing merchant ships engaged in international shipping. Third, it examines the processes, procedures and mechanisms designed to ensure that flag States and port States effectively fulfill their international obligations so that international shipping, which carries more that 90% of the world's trade, is safe and secure and does not pollute the marine environment. The international regulation of shipping is of great importance to Singapore. Singapore is major port State and transshipment hub, with about 1000 vessels in port every day. Singapore is the top bunkering (refueling) port in the world. Singapore is also a major flag State, as the Singapore ship registry is among the top ten in the world. Singapore is an active member of the IMO, and has been elected as a member of its Council every year since 1993. Singapore is also a strong proponent of the rules-based legal order established in the 1982 UNCLOS, which guarantees passage rights for ships through the choke points in sea lanes of communication through Southeast Asia.

Consider an international sale of goods. A seller who ships goods overseas without being paid in advance runs a number of financial risks, namely: (1) the buyer’s insolvency before payment is made; (2) the buyer’s wrongful refusal to pay for the goods and litigation in a potentially unfamiliar jurisdiction; (3) a justifiable refusal by the buyer to pay for the goods due to a genuine allegation of non-performance by the seller; (4) political risks leading to non-payment of the price. A buyer who pays in advance also runs the risk that the seller may not ship the goods. Introduction of an intermediary, e.g. banks, in whom the parties repose confidence may help eliminate these risks. This course focuses on various legal mechanisms used in international trade to securely effect payment for the goods and services, payment mechanisms such as collections, documentary credits and bank-to-bank reimbursements. Banks can also help secure contractual performance of the parties to the underlying transaction, which is often achieved with the help of such legal mechanisms as on demand guarantees and standby letters of credit (cumulatively known as autonomous guarantees). Autonomous guarantees may be issued by banks in relation to a wide range of underlaying transactions including sale of goods, shipbuilding, etc. This course focuses on the nature of the obligations undertaken by contracting parties, the principles of strict compliance, irrevocability and autonomy, and also considers various exemptions to the principle of autonomy, including the exceptions of fraud and nullity. The course concentrates on the legal rules promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees and others as well as the relevant case law.","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LL4322","moduleCredit":"4","preclusion":"If undertaking an Undergraduate DegreeTHENmust not have completed any Courses beginning with LL4322 at a grade of at least D","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Trade Finance Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"This course will provide a practitioner's perspective on the bread and butter of any transactional practice: mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of non-listed, private companies.

Tax permeates and affects all aspects of human and business conduct – shaping every deal and transaction, and influencing the setting up, financing, and operation of every business venture. This foundational course focuses on the two most important taxes – income tax and GST (accounting for about ¾ of our total tax revenues). It will acquaint participants with a basic working knowledge of the most common tax issues faced by both businesses and individuals. The first part of the course focuses on GST, and how GST is imposed on an increasing number of platform transactions in our daily lives as well as on digital assets. The second part deals with the income tax implications of typical decisions in the lifecycle of a business. Issues examined include tax implications on sole proprietorship vs partnership vs company; how is offshore income taxed in Singapore; is debt or equity more tax efficient?; how to maximise deductions and allowances to minimise taxes?; when does tax planning become avoidance or evasion?; as well as common legal and evidential issues in tax litigation. Other topical issues include the economics of taxation, and the trends and reforms in international tax. The course is particularly useful for those interested in commercial law, transactions, wealth planning, in-house advisory, and economic policy.

Consider an international sale of goods. A seller who ships goods overseas without being paid in advance runs a number of financial risks, namely: (1) the buyer’s insolvency before payment is made; (2) the buyer’s wrongful refusal to pay for the goods and litigation in a potentially unfamiliar jurisdiction; (3) a justifiable refusal by the buyer to pay for the goods due to a genuine allegation of non-performance by the seller; (4) political risks leading to non-payment of the price. A buyer who pays in advance also runs the risk that the seller may not ship the goods. Introduction of an intermediary, e.g. banks, in whom the parties repose confidence may help eliminate these risks. This course focuses on various legal mechanisms used in international trade to securely effect payment for the goods and services, payment mechanisms such as collections, documentary credits and bank-to-bank reimbursements. Banks can also help secure contractual performance of the parties to the underlying transaction, which is often achieved with the help of such legal mechanisms as on demand guarantees and standby letters of credit (cumulatively known as autonomous guarantees). Autonomous guarantees may be issued by banks in relation to a wide range of underlaying transactions including sale of goods, shipbuilding, etc. This course focuses on the nature of the obligations undertaken by contracting parties, the principles of strict compliance, irrevocability and autonomy, and also considers various exemptions to the principle of autonomy, including the exceptions of fraud and nullity.

Second, it examines the processes whereby the IMO and other international institutions establish universally-accepted international rules and regulations governing merchant ships engaged in international shipping. Third, it examines the processes, procedures and mechanisms designed to ensure that flag States and port States effectively fulfill their international obligations so that international shipping, which carries more that 90% of the world's trade, is safe and secure and does not pollute the marine environment. The international regulation of shipping is of great importance to Singapore. Singapore is major port State and transshipment hub, with about 1000 vessels in port every day. Singapore is the top bunkering (refueling) port in the world. Singapore is also a major flag State, as the Singapore ship registry is among the top ten in the world. Singapore is an active member of the IMO, and has been elected as a member of its Council every year since 1993. Singapore is also a strong proponent of the rules-based legal order established in the 1982 UNCLOS, which guarantees passage rights for ships through the choke points in sea lanes of communication through Southeast Asia.

Consider an international sale of goods. A seller who ships goods overseas without being paid in advance runs a number of financial risks, namely: (1) the buyer’s insolvency before payment is made; (2) the buyer’s wrongful refusal to pay for the goods and litigation in a potentially unfamiliar jurisdiction; (3) a justifiable refusal by the buyer to pay for the goods due to a genuine allegation of non-performance by the seller; (4) political risks leading to non-payment of the price. A buyer who pays in advance also runs the risk that the seller may not ship the goods. Introduction of an intermediary, e.g. banks, in whom the parties repose confidence may help eliminate these risks. This course focuses on various legal mechanisms used in international trade to securely effect payment for the goods and services, payment mechanisms such as collections, documentary credits and bank-to-bank reimbursements. Banks can also help secure contractual performance of the parties to the underlying transaction, which is often achieved with the help of such legal mechanisms as on demand guarantees and standby letters of credit (cumulatively known as autonomous guarantees). Autonomous guarantees may be issued by banks in relation to a wide range of underlaying transactions including sale of goods, shipbuilding, etc. This course focuses on the nature of the obligations undertaken by contracting parties, the principles of strict compliance, irrevocability and autonomy, and also considers various exemptions to the principle of autonomy, including the exceptions of fraud and nullity. The course concentrates on the legal rules promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees and others as well as the relevant case law.","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LL6322","moduleCredit":"4","preclusion":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree ResearchTHENmust not have completed any Courses beginning with LL6322 at a grade of at least D","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Trade Finance Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"This course will provide a practitioner's perspective on the bread and butter of any transactional practice: mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of non-listed, private companies.

In addition to considering the regulatory powers of individual states, developments under international instruments on human rights, labour conditions, finance, taxation and investment are addressed.","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LL6335V","moduleCredit":"5","preclusion":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree ResearchTHENmust not have completed any Courses beginning with LL6335 at a grade of at least D","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Multinational Enterprises and International Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"As reflected in the title, this is an advanced practice-oriented course designed to build on students' basic knowledge of international commercial and investment treaty arbitration.

Consider an international sale of goods. A seller who ships goods overseas without being paid in advance runs a number of financial risks, namely: (1) the buyer’s insolvency before payment is made; (2) the buyer’s wrongful refusal to pay for the goods and litigation in a potentially unfamiliar jurisdiction; (3) a justifiable refusal by the buyer to pay for the goods due to a genuine allegation of non-performance by the seller; (4) political risks leading to non-payment of the price. A buyer who pays in advance also runs the risk that the seller may not ship the goods. Introduction of an intermediary, e.g. banks, in whom the parties repose confidence may help eliminate these risks. This course focuses on various legal mechanisms used in international trade to securely effect payment for the goods and services, payment mechanisms such as collections, documentary credits and bank-to-bank reimbursements. Banks can also help secure contractual performance of the parties to the underlying transaction, which is often achieved with the help of such legal mechanisms as on demand guarantees and standby letters of credit (cumulatively known as autonomous guarantees). Autonomous guarantees may be issued by banks in relation to a wide range of underlaying transactions including sale of goods, shipbuilding, etc. This course focuses on the nature of the obligations undertaken by contracting parties, the principles of strict compliance, irrevocability and autonomy, and also considers various exemptions to the principle of autonomy, including the exceptions of fraud and nullity. The course concentrates on the legal rules promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees and others as well as the relevant case law.","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LLD5322","moduleCredit":"4","preclusion":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree CourseworkTHENmust not have completed any Courses beginning with LLD5322 at a grade of at least D","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Trade Finance Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"Not Available","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LLD5396","moduleCredit":"4","preclusion":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework then ( must not have completed LLD5396 at a grade of at least D )","semesterData":[{"covidZones":[],"semester":1},{"covidZones":[],"semester":2}],"title":"University Research Opportunities Programme","workload":[0,0,0,0,0]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"Not Available","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LLD5397","moduleCredit":"4","preclusion":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework then ( must not have completed LLD5397 at a grade of at least D )","prerequisite":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework then ( must have completed LLD5396 at a grade of at least D )","semesterData":[{"covidZones":[],"semester":1},{"covidZones":[],"semester":2}],"title":"University Research Opportunities Programme","workload":[0,0,0,0,0]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"This course will introduce the various concepts relating to the admiralty action in rem, the means by which a maritime claim can be enforced.

Second, it examines the processes whereby the IMO and other international institutions establish universally-accepted international rules and regulations governing merchant ships engaged in international shipping. Third, it examines the processes, procedures and mechanisms designed to ensure that flag States and port States effectively fulfill their international obligations so that international shipping, which carries more that 90% of the world's trade, is safe and secure and does not pollute the marine environment. The international regulation of shipping is of great importance to Singapore. Singapore is major port State and transshipment hub, with about 1000 vessels in port every day. Singapore is the top bunkering (refueling) port in the world. Singapore is also a major flag State, as the Singapore ship registry is among the top ten in the world. Singapore is an active member of the IMO, and has been elected as a member of its Council every year since 1993. Singapore is also a strong proponent of the rules-based legal order established in the 1982 UNCLOS, which guarantees passage rights for ships through the choke points in sea lanes of communication through Southeast Asia.

Consider an international sale of goods. A seller who ships goods overseas without being paid in advance runs a number of financial risks, namely: (1) the buyer’s insolvency before payment is made; (2) the buyer’s wrongful refusal to pay for the goods and litigation in a potentially unfamiliar jurisdiction; (3) a justifiable refusal by the buyer to pay for the goods due to a genuine allegation of non-performance by the seller; (4) political risks leading to non-payment of the price. A buyer who pays in advance also runs the risk that the seller may not ship the goods. Introduction of an intermediary, e.g. banks, in whom the parties repose confidence may help eliminate these risks. This course focuses on various legal mechanisms used in international trade to securely effect payment for the goods and services, payment mechanisms such as collections, documentary credits and bank-to-bank reimbursements. Banks can also help secure contractual performance of the parties to the underlying transaction, which is often achieved with the help of such legal mechanisms as on demand guarantees and standby letters of credit (cumulatively known as autonomous guarantees). Autonomous guarantees may be issued by banks in relation to a wide range of underlaying transactions including sale of goods, shipbuilding, etc. This course focuses on the nature of the obligations undertaken by contracting parties, the principles of strict compliance, irrevocability and autonomy, and also considers various exemptions to the principle of autonomy, including the exceptions of fraud and nullity. The course concentrates on the legal rules promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees and others as well as the relevant case law.","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LLJ5322","moduleCredit":"4","preclusion":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree CourseworkTHENmust not have completed any Courses beginning with LLJ5322 at a grade of at least D","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Trade Finance Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"This course will provide a practitioner's perspective on the bread and butter of any transactional practice: mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of non-listed, private companies.

As business valuation is deeply anchored in corporate activities, regulators have increasingly stepped up their presence and involvement in this practice area, particularly on matters relating to professionalism, and compliance with code and standards. In the conduct of business valuation, the International Valuation Standards (IVS) as developed by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) is being applied by valuers in more than one hundred countries. IVSC is a global valuation standards setter and membership body that works to promote and grow the valuation profession worldwide. The Institute of Valuers and Appraisers of Singapore (IVAS) (under the auspices of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)), that certifies business valuers in Singapore, is a member of the IVSC. Business valuers certified by IVAS are designated as Chartered Valuers and Appraisers (CVA) and will need to comply with the IVS and the code of ethical principles issued by IVSC, when conducting their work in the marketplace.","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"LLJ5527V","moduleCredit":"5","preclusion":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree CourseworkTHENmust not have completed any Courses beginning with LLJ5527 at a grade of at least D","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Business Valuation in Practice","workload":[0,0,0,3,9.5]},{"department":"FoL Dean's Office","description":"This is primarily an interactive skill-based course with role plays and exercises as well as mediation theory.

From solar energy conversion to phase-change energy storage and gas separation, thermodynamic principles determine the efficiency and feasibility of renewable energy systems that address global challenges such as climate change and sustainable resource use. This course introduces Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) students to the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, entropy, thermodynamic relationships, and chemical and phase equilibria, and demonstrates how these principles guide the design and evaluation of both traditional materials, next-generation materials, and technologies for energy and sustainability applications. In terms of progression, the first half of the course focuses chiefly on fundamental concepts in thermodynamics for MSE students. The second half of the semester focuses on chemical and phase equilibria in the context of phase diagrams to understand material properties alongside discussion in context of energy and sustainability technologies. Moreover, through examples including solar energy conversion, phase-change materials, and the separation of oxygen from air, students learn to analyse systems that appear to challenge thermodynamic limits and to interpret them using rigorous thermodynamic reasoning. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply thermodynamic concepts to materials and energy systems, evaluate energy efficiency and feasibility, and understand key design considerations and technological trade-offs in renewable energy technologies.

This approach will encourage students to rethink childhood not as a universal truth, but as a dynamic, evolving idea — one that children themselves increasingly reshape.","faculty":"NUS College","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"NHS2100","moduleCredit":"4","prerequisite":"If undertaking an Undergraduate DegreeTHEN(if in one of the cohorts from 2022 inclusiveTHENmust have completed 1 of ES2002/ES2660/IS2101/LC1016/any Courses beginning with NGN at a grade of at least D/any Courses beginning with NTW at a grade of at least D)","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Being and Becoming: Concepts and Practices of Childhood","workload":[0,0,0,4,6]},{"attributes":{"su":true},"department":"NUS College Dean's Office","description":"Are the Seven Deadly Sins just quirky medieval pseudoscience, or do they offer good guidance on how (not) to live?

We will address these topics with reading, discussion, and observations of animals in mostly natural circumstances.","faculty":"NUS College","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"NST2065","moduleCredit":"4","prerequisite":"If undertaking an Undergraduate DegreeTHEN(if in one of the cohorts from 2022 inclusiveTHENmust have completed 1 of BT1101/DSA1101/DSE1101/GEA1000/GEA1000N/IE1111R/ST1131)","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["C"],"semester":1}],"title":"Zoomorphism: Understanding Animal and Human Behaviour","workload":[4,0,0,1,5]},{"attributes":{"su":true},"department":"NUS College Dean's Office","description":"This interdisciplinary course examines the science, history, and societal impact of weaponry — including nuclear, missiles, electronics —as well as modern precision-guided weapons (PGWs).

In a time when conflicts are on a rise and growing in complexity, a better understanding of their dynamics and of the means to address and solve them are a paramount necessity for future leaders and policymakers. This course offers the opportunity to develop analytical skills to understand today’s armed conflict and to learn key tools of conflict resolution. Not only it aims to equip students with a better understanding of how to address and solve contemporary armed conflicts and disputes, but also to develop assessment techniques that can be useful throughout their professional career. The premise of the course is that understanding a conflict before taking action is a primary responsibility of policymakers, diplomats, activists, development and humanitarian actors among others. Misled engagements – whether they are locally-, nationally-, or internationally-led – may inadvertently strengthen underlying causes of conflict or the actors who are adopting violent means, and create new opportunities for violence. Research and practice have shown that peacemaking, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and post-conflict development, have the capacity to exert negative and harmful impacts on conflict dynamics, deepening cleavages that exist in societies and exacerbating inter- or intra-group tensions. On the other hand, a well-conceived and thoughtful engagement may contribute to the reduction of conflict factors and help de-escalate deadly violence. In fact, most interventions hold the potential to have a positive impact by resolving crises, and enhancing local mechanisms and institutions that can address sources of violence.","faculty":"LKY School of Public Policy","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","moduleCode":"PP5164","moduleCredit":"4","semesterData":[{"covidZones":["Unknown"],"semester":1}],"title":"International Conflict Analysis and Resolution","workload":[3,0,0,3,4]},{"department":"LKYSPP Dean's Office","description":"This course examines issues around health and human development in the global economic context, drawing evidence from various settings.

The course then examines six policy-relevant domains that are shaping contemporary sustainability agendas: (1) Energy Transition and the Political Economy of Decarbonization; (2) Sustainable Transportation: Mobility, Streets, and Spatial Planning; (3) Governing Climate Change: Resilience and Disaster Risk; (4) Geopolitics of the Green Transition: Critical Minerals and Procurement Power; (5) Food–Water Nexus Governance: Security, Sustainability, and Trade-offs; and (6) Digital Sustainability Governance: AI, Data, and Accountability. For each domain, students complete short online case briefs, multimedia materials, and evidence syntheses in advance to build a shared analytical baseline. In-person sessions are organized as a policy seminar: students interrogate problem definitions, map stakeholders and institutional constraints, and debate trade-offs across efficiency, equity, and feasibility. Activities include structured discussions, negotiation and scenario exercises, and collaborative policy design that connects diagnosis to instruments—such as regulation, pricing, standards, public investment, procurement, and information/disclosure—while evaluating how implementation capacity and political incentives shape real-world outcomes. To connect theory to practice, the course incorporates targeted site visits and hands-on activities that allow students to engage with real-world sustainability challenges and implementation constraints.

This introductory course is designed for all BBA students to appreciate how real estate decisions influence business strategy, financial performance, and community development. Real Estate, Society & Enterprise is designed for all BBA students because every enterprise operates in space and under a policy and capital-market context. Location, lease-versus-own, workplace formats, store networks, logistics nodes, and real-asset financing (e.g., REITs, PPPs) are cross-functional choices that shape cost, risk, productivity, customer experience, and firm value. Just as importantly, real-asset decisions are multi-stakeholder and complex—whether designing policies to tackle housing and land scarcity or deciding whether to buy or lease a data centre—requiring students to frame trade-offs, coordinate incentives, and navigate regulation. In Singapore’s land-scarce, regulation-intensive economy, this is core managerial literacy, not niche expertise.

To put it another way, one in every ten people of all ages in the world in 2060 would be an older Asian. As they approach older ages, are Asians more likely to stay in the labor force compared to adults from other regions? Do adult children remain the linchpin of support for older parents in Asia? Does welfare provision for older Asians crowd out intergenerational support? Given that Asia has some of the top countries with longest life expectancy at older ages, are the extra years lived in full health? What private and public mechanisms are available to financially support and care for older adults, especially those with poor health and the oldest old? This course will address many of the above questions, as it introduces students to the main issues in aging research from sociological and demographic perspectives. One of the course’s central tenets is that age is socially constructed and that the various definitions of “old” are related to the historical, cultural, social, and economic conditions of a particular country. In addition, older persons are heterogeneous in terms of their socio-economic status, health status, and social integration. In the course, we will discuss the theoretical underpinnings, the social and policy implications of changing age structure, particularly rapid population aging.

Working from the position that skin belongs as much to the person as to the society in which they live, this seminar implements the ethnographic method to reflect on how much our identity and our sense of self is produced by the interaction between biological, cultural, political, and economic, forces that play out through and on the skin.
