Increasingly, leadership of business organizations is intertwined with local, national and international legal and ethical frameworks that define, regulate and support the business enterprise. The effective, successful business leader must understand the basic components and operations of those frameworks as well as the basic policy assumptions that emanate from that legal framework and influence business decisions. Those policies affect what products are produced, how they are priced, marketed and distributed, as well as who works for the enterprise and how the workplace and its work processes are configured. The extent to which a leader effectively manages or mismanages the human resources of the company will determine the company’s success, and therefore the leader’s own success. This course investigates the basic legal and socio-ethical framework within which companies operate today. 000154 MSM Single Course 5 1.00 Leadership Master's Degree Program Advanced Career Professional No No 0001542 0
