Masters of Business Management
MBA 525: Business Ethics Program Syllabus
Managers need to understand the fundamentals of the law just as they need to understand the fundamentals of accounting, finance,
and human behavior. As managers rise in the corporate hierarchy, they increasingly face legal issues they are ill-equipped to handle. Managers who understand legal fundamentals are able to identify issues before they become problems and to work more effectively within the legal framework to produce a constructive solution. This course provides a conceptual framework for understanding both, the moral context within which businesses are organized and operate, as well as the various legal tools available to managers engaged in evaluating and pursuing opportunities. The course will not only address the importance of complying with the law, but will also offer strategies and tactics for working with counsel to use the law as a positive force to increase realizable value while managing the attendant risks and keeping the legal costs
under control. The objective is not to teach business students how to think like lawyers, but rather to teach students how to become more legally astute so they can handle with confidence the legal aspects of management.
