Business Law Basic Concepts, Business Law and Ethics and Business Law and the Manager's Responsibilities What you'll learn: Introduction to Business LawSales and Contract LawIntellectual Property and Employment LawLiability and Your ResponsibilitiesThe Relationship Between Law and EthicsThe Spirit and Letter of the LawMeeting the Spirit of the LawThe Corporate VeilIndividual Responsibility and the ManagerVicarious Liability and the Manager Welcome to the Business Law course. This course includes 3 sections also presented as independent courses for your convenience: Business Law Basic Concepts, Business Law and Ethics, and Business Law and the Manager's Responsibilities. Business Law Basic ConceptsThe risk becomes even greater when managers aren't fully aware of the business laws that affect them and their organizations. As a manager, you serve as a leader and as a representative for your organization. Accordingly, you're responsible for being informed of the laws that govern business.You need to comply with these laws yourself, as well as ensuring that your department and employees are aware of the law and comply with it. Failing to do this can potentially get you and your organization into a great deal of trouble.In this section, you'll learn about the different areas of business law and what they encompass. You'll also learn about the responsibilities of managers in each of these areas. This will help equip you to protect yourself, the employees you manage, and your company.Business Law and EthicsAs a manager, you have both legal and ethical responsibilities. Your conduct is expected to meet both the letter and the spirit of the law. Managers who bypass their ethical responsibilities risk getting themselves and their companies into deep legal trouble.Corporate scandals have ruined both careers and companies. As a manager, you need to learn about business ethics and how to use ethics as a guiding rationale when dealing with your responsibilities. This is crucial because ethical principles provide the basis for the spirit of the law. This section guides you in differentiating between ethics and the law, as well as in recognizing areas where the two concepts overlap. It explains the difference between following the letter of the law and following the spirit of the law. And it covers a process you can use to make ethical decisions that comply with the spirit of the law.The course also outlines typical obstacles to ethical behavior in business, and steps managers can take to build a strong culture of ethics in their companies. By understanding and providing ethical management, you'll help to encourage ethical behavior in your organization. This can protect you, your employees, and your company, and help attract both customers and investors. Ultimately, ethical behavior means better business.Business Law and the Manager's ResponsibilitiesA corporation is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its shareholders, directors, and managers. In practice, this means that executives and managers of a corporation may be shielded from the company's liabilities by what's referred to as the corporate veil.However, managers shouldn't trust the corporate veil to protect them legally. When they consider it necessary, the courts pierce this veil, finding individual managers legally culpable for their behavior, or even for the behavior of their employees.So, as a manager, you need to protect yourself, the employees you manage, and your organization from becoming implicated in illegal or unethical activities, and from facing legal consequences as a result. This means you have to know and meet your responsibilities, always ensuring that your own actions are both legal and ethical.It also means ensuring that you fulfil your managerial duties – for example, communicating clear expectations and policies to employees, and responding to reports or signs of inappropriate behavior.In this last section, you'll learn more about the corporate veil and about the types of factors that typically cause the courts to pierce this veil. You'll learn how best to handle concerns and warnings of potentially illegal behavior.And you'll learn how to help ensure that your communications don't expose you or your organization to legal liability. Finally, you'll learn about vicarious liability as it applies to managers, and about steps you can take to avoid this. So, this is the broad picture. This is what you can expect from the course and you can already start. No go ahead and push that "Register Now" button and see you inside the course!

This course will cover the topics of a full year, two semester General Chemistry course. We will use a free on-line textbook, Concept Development Studies in Chemistry, available via Rice’s Connexions project. The fundamental concepts in the course will be introduced via the Concept Development Approach developed at Rice University. In this approach, we will develop the concepts you need to know from experimental observations and scientific reasoning rather than simply telling you the concepts and then asking you to simply memorize or apply them. So why use this approach? One reason is that most of us are inductive learners, meaning that we like to make specific observations and then generalize from there. Many of the most significant concepts in Chemistry are counter-intuitive. When we see where those concepts come from, we can more readily accept them, explain them, and apply them. A second reason is that scientific reasoning in general and Chemistry reasoning in particular are inductive processes. This Concept Development approach illustrates those reasoning processes. A third reason is that this is simply more interesting! The structure and reactions of matter are fascinating puzzles to be solved by observation and reasoning. It is more fun intellectually when we can solve those puzzles together, rather than simply have the answers to the riddles revealed at the outset. Recommended Background: The class can be taken by someone with no prior experience in chemistry. However, some prior familiarity with the basics of chemistry is desirable as we will cover some elements only briefly. For example, a prior high school chemistry class would be helpful. Suggested Readings: Readings will be assigned from the on-line textbook “Concept Development Studies in Chemistry”, available via Rice’s Connexions project. In addition, we will suggest readings from any of the standard textbooks in General Chemistry. A particularly good free on-line resource is Dickerson, Gray, and Haight, "Chemical Principles, 3rd Edition". Links to these two texts will be available in the Introduction module.

Harriet manages a long-established sporting goods chain that wants to expand into new markets but lacks capital. Evan has big plans for his IT startup but hasn't yet attracted the investment he needs.Laura heads a hardware retailer's Marketing Department, which is in need of a change of direction. The one thing they all have in common is they would benefit from creating a business plan.With a business plan, Harriet should be able to persuade her company's bank to approve a loan that will enable her operation to grow. Similarly, Evan could use a business plan to persuade investors to get on board.And Laura could use a plan to persuade senior management to allow her to overhaul the department, making it more effective. In each instance, an effective business plan can contribute toward making the business prosper.There are many important reasons to create a business plan. If your business is just starting out, business plans can help you attract investors.

Currently, however, the ability to develop and implement strategic plans is more important than ever. Managers need to look at the big picture to better understand what will and won't work for their companies. They must determine where potential obstacles might exist, and how a proposed initiative – no matter how big or small – would support a company's vision and objectives.Say you want to plan your department's future activities to support your organization's strategic objectives. What would a good business plan look like? It should include a thorough review of the internal and external environment to determine how your idea fits in the business and market contexts.An internal analysis examines your organization's strengths and weaknesses. An external analysis tries to anticipate opportunities and threats in the political, economic, societal, and technological environment – for instance, a PEST analysis. You need to conduct internal and external analyses regularly. This will help promote creativity, uncover opportunities and challenges, and ensure a more effective review process.This course looks at how to use internal and external analyses of your company to guide you in developing business plans.

You'll then learn how to conduct a SWOT analysis of your organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.Preparing for ImplementationAs a manager, you'll probably need to create business plans from time to time. For example, you may want to set out the strategies your department will follow for the next 12 months.Or you might need to develop a plan for a new product, service, or process. Although creating a successful business plan is a significant achievement, implementing it effectively is not without its challenges.Implementing a business plan requires the development of action plans. It also involves assigning responsibility for carrying out the necessary actions to individual employees and departments.You should review and evaluate the results achieved on an ongoing basis.
