Legal Environment

Catalog description

Managers face a variety of legal challenges that can both help and hinder success. This course will provide a foundation of legal knowledge that will equip students to recognize the legal potholes they will encounter as mangers. We will examine legal issues involved in the areas of torts and products liability, antitrust, employment and labor law and a most important area in this knowledge economy, intellectual property. While we will not turn students into lawyers, we will develop the legal knowledge and analytical skills that guide entrepreneurs in a complicated legal environment. Prerequisite: BMBA 8008 . Offered: Fall, Spring.
