ANU Law School · ANU College of Law, Governance and Policy
Technology is changing the functioning of the corporation in significant ways. There are also challenges to the corporate form itself. These changes present both opportunities and challenges to corporations, regulators, and society. While the law, particularly corporate law, plays catch up with a number of these developments, corporate law scholars, practitioners, and policy makers have been thinking through these technological changes and their implications, sometimes anticipating future changes and use cases of technology, and possible regulatory responses. This course aims to survey and assess changes to corporations and their functioning, the potential benefits and risks of these changes, and regulatory options. The course takes a global and comparative approach. To develop their knowledge and skills, students will engage in a range of learning activities, including live seminars, reflections and in-depth research.
