ORB 481 - Social & Legal Impact of Business

Upper Division

Prerequisites
ORB 301

This course examines the legal, policy, and ethical factors impacting business, as well as the role of business and markets in shaping the development of laws and social norms; it thus provides an advanced foundation for understanding business in its broader social context. It focuses on the interaction of business and the legal and public policy process and ethical movements more broadly. The course introduces students to important legal, regulatory, and social issues for business in both the U.S. and global environments, and allows students to both practice assessing the social and policy impact of business and reach principled positions about the social and legal constraints that should govern business, with the overarching goal of making business more socially responsible.
