Hopefully I can start and finish strong this semester, baybeeee

Managerial Law: a perspective of focusing on legal events that occur within the framework of day-to-day management, hence the rationale for the textbook

Four commonly acknowledged business functions that intersect with law:

• Human resource management
  • Hiring/disciplining/firing employees
  • Contract law, tort law, and discrimination law
  • Liability
  • Labor relations
• Strategic management – governance
  • Governance
  • Regulatory issues in different settings
• Operations management
  • Legal issues related to facility management
  • Development of events
  • Safety of spectators
  • Exculpatory agreements
• Marketing management
  • Trademark/copyright
  • False advertising & ambush marketing
  • Civil/constitutional rights

Knowledge of the law and legal risk management can serve as competitive advantages (the idea of selling the need for this material seems a bit far-fetched, it’s pretty obvious that knowing this stuff is a huge advantage but I guess some people are so incurious they need it spelled out for them to care)

Strategic management and governance will be a major part of the book, including managing the working conditions, dealing with the dreaded NCAA, etc.

Negotiation includes interpersonal skills (not covered) and legal information (covered throughout the book).

Book includes a glossary, do NOT forget to check it!

Some repeats from previous courses but a lot of potentially valuable material!
