As part of MAU’s mission to produce graduates with a broad and deep range of knowledge, competence, and skills to become successful and responsible leaders in local and global business communities, we have designed an Executive Program-style training course focused on two issues of particular relevance to corporate governance and competitiveness: compliance with the various international legal instruments related to the proper conduct of business activities, and alternative dispute resolution, particularly arbitration, to resolve potential controversies or disputes in which an organization may become involved.

For those seeking training and knowledge in business management across its various fields, an understanding of these topics is essential.

Objective

To provide participants with the essential information, training, knowledge, and tools necessary to utilize arbitration in any of its forms, whether national or international.

Arbitration, along with mediation and conciliation, are universally recognized and accepted alternative means of dispute resolution. which is enshrined

Arbitration culture is widespread in the business world and has become firmly established within the global legal and business community. Trust and confidentiality are essential pillars of arbitration.

Compliance aims to ensure that companies are organizations with a corporate culture based on honesty and integrity, in which members of the governing bodies and senior management act and perform their duties in accordance with those standards. One of the principles of compliance is to observe the spirit of the law and to have a prevention program in place to ensure compliance with regulations and to prevent disputes regarding potential liabilities that may arise for an organization—liabilities whose resolution may require recourse to mechanisms such as arbitration.

The arbitrators perform their duties with full legal capacity and proven expertise in legal and technical matters in order to resolve a dispute, in accordance with the principles of impartiality and independence throughout the entire process.

National and international arbitration centers have rules and regulations in line with global standards and trends, so their effectiveness has been amply demonstrated. In addition, they do an extraordinary job of promoting and raising awareness of the advantages and benefits of arbitration as an alternative to proceedings in the ordinary courts.
