| BUSI 220 - Legal Parameters and Business Decisions |
|
This course examines legal principles, considerations, and structures affecting managerial decisions. The course initially focuses on the anthropological underpinnings of the legal concepts of “liability”, “limited liability”, and “corporate” form with readings coming from Yuval Harari’s Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. With that background in place, the course then examines legal parameters and constraints through corporate, tax, and securities laws impacting managerial decisions in the areas of “choice of entity” (with a focus on sole proprietorships/tax-disregarded entities, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations, both “C” and “S”), taxation, management structure, intellectual property, capital infusions, mergers, and acquisitions.
