Overview of Business Law and Ethics

Every few years, catastrophic corporate or financial scandals drive home an essential point: managers and other business professionals must possess a deep understanding of the legal and ethical environment in which their firms operate. MBAs do not, of course, need an encyclopedic knowledge of legal doctrine. Rather, this course aims to provide graduate business students with a much more valuable skill set: a deep understanding of how legal regulation and ethics affect business decision-making, and how business people can use law and ethics to obtain strategic advantage in the marketplace.
