MGT G210 - Legal/Ethical Aspects Business

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Addresses how the legal system can impact a manager in the performance of the job. Introduces the legal system, the legal structure of the corporation, and alternative forms of dispute resolution between firms, then discusses issues including employee hiring and termination, performance appraisal, and lines of authority as governed by agency law. Other topics include contracts, product liability, intellectual property and patents, licensing, environmental regulations, and equal opportunity and antidiscrimination laws. Also considers business ethics and how ethical analysis complements legal analysis and can and should be applied to managerial decisions. Rather than develop prescriptive norms for business, the course develops moral principles that can be applied to real situations to help decide whether business can be conducted in ways both proper and profitable.
