We will analyze different legal theories and rules of substantive law which regulate the conduct of individuals and businesses and which impose liability for damages on individuals and business entities when those rules are violated. We will survey basic rules of criminal law, intentional torts, and negligence. We will next focus on the rules affecting the making and performance of contracts, and the liability which results from breach of contractual relationships. This will include general contract law, as well as specific rules that exist in the sale of goods and merchandise, and in the purchase, ownership and sale of real property. In addition, we will also analyze and compare the choices available for dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration, and trial in court.

Introduction to Entrepreneurship

B63 MGT 521

This course is designed not only for the student with a burning passion to start his/her own business, but anyone who believes that entrepreneurial skills are an essential element of business success. "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" is taught primarily via the case method. Most case discussions will be followed by a relevant guest speaker -either an experienced entrepreneur or a professional from the investment community. You will hear from entrepreneurs and corporate managers with an entrepreneurial flair, some who have experienced great success, and others for whom success has been elusive. The structure of this course follows the evolutionary process of a new venture. Topics covered include: Idea Assessment, Organization Formation, Capitalization, Growth, and Exit. Corporate Entrepreneurship also will be explored. This course integrates much of what you have learned in your core courses and challenges you to apply those learnings. In each class you will be expected to make difficult business choices with less than perfect information, dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty, much like a real life entrepreneur. Analytical rigor will be emphasized throughout and you will be expected to have "run the numbers" for each case. A central element of this course is the opportunity to pitch your "business idea" to classmates via a 5 minute "elevator pitch". Those with the winning business concepts will recruit classmates to join their team to conduct a comprehensive feasibility analysis. Your "final" will consist of a formal 20 minute dress presentation of your idea-much like you would pitch your business concept to a potential investor. It is the professors' objective that by the end of this course you will: 1) Better understand entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process 2) Be an incisive analyst of a business and/or business concept 3) Be a more persuasive seller of your business ideas.

Corporate leaders are expected to maximize returns to shareholders, produce compelling products and services, and create attractive work environments for their employees while at the same time adhering to the laws and expectations of the communities and countries within which they operate. This course will explore real situations in which the objectives of the corporation's various constituencies -shareholders, employees and communities are in conflict. It will also focus on situations in which societal concerns-environmental and health, for example may be at odds with the immediate interests of important stakeholders. Through vigorous case discussions, dialogues with industry leaders and role-play simulations students will wrestle with these often ambiguous dilemmas, gain insights into the conflicts, and develop their own approaches and decision-making frameworks for resolving these situations and those they will face during their careers.

Business, Government and Society

B63 MGT 5321

All firms operate within competitive and institutional landscapes shaped and framed by government. Yet firms have the power to help shape the role of government through non-market strategy, both to protect their own interests as well as help improve the efficacy of the public-private partnership. Furthermore, managers must navigate the complex intersection between business objectives and the values, norms, and expectations of the societies in which they operate. This course harnesses Olin's unique partnership with the Brookings Institution to access high-level experts from agencies and institutions in the federal government only found in the capital area. We will focus on how a better understanding of the mindset, objectives, and operations of these institutions can help managers better shape strategy and activities at the intersection of the public and private sectors.

Managing the Innovation Process

B63 MGT 558

The course takes the perspective that innovation is a core business process associated with survival and growth of the organization, and it should be managed as such. We view innovation broadly as a process of knowledge creation. Innovation creates new possibilities through combining different knowledge sets. This process is multi-stage and takes place under highly uncertain conditions. The course objective is to help develop for our students the needed managerial skills in managing the multi-stage process of innovation. We focus on the systematic management of innovation processes through careful resource commitment and management of involved uncertainties.

Ownership Insights: Competitive Advantage of Family and Employee Owned Firms

B63 MGT 560E

This course is designed to introduce students to the unique governance and financing issues faced by owners of closely held businesses and family controlled firms. The core issue addressed in this course is that of sustainability: what actions are required of the current owners to increase the likelihood that the business will last beyond them? What best practices can we learn from successful multi-generational family businesses, some of which have been in existence for 150 years and longer? There are three target audiences for this course: 1) Students who may be or are considering working for a closely held or family controlled business; 2) entrepreneurs who build successful businesses and want their business to remain privately owned; and 3) students seeking to work in the private equity, investment banking, legal or wealth management industries and who will be calling on this segment of the market. The course will be multi-disciplinary and more qualitative than quantitative. Each class will have a lecture and case component; there will be guest speakers at each session. Students will be required to complete a case study in advance of each class (not more than 2 pages). There will be no final exam. Class attendance and active participation is expected. 1.5 credits

Decisions: Data and Values

B63 MGT 560V

In a world of rapid technological change, data-rich production processes, a purpose-driven talent pool, globally-integrated value chains, and calls for greater business accountability to society, business leaders must be equipped to make decisions that are both data-driven and values-based. That is, they must have the tools to critically evaluate and strategically utilize vast quantities of rapidly changing data using the latest analytic tools and techniques. And they must also have the clarity, courage, and leadership skill to make decisions that respect personal/organizational values and societal responsibilities. This course presents a framework and set of tools for making values-based/data-driven decisions that will serve as a foundation for other Olin coursework. This course is only open to first year MBA students.

All firms operate within competitive and institutional landscapes that are shaped and framed by government. However, firms have the power to help shape the role of government through non-market strategy, both to protect their own interests and to help improve the efficacy of the public-private partnership. Furthermore, managers must navigate the complex intersection between business objectives and the values, norms, and expectations of the societies in which they operate. Increasingly, challenges related to the global economy, geopolitics, technology competition and climate change require organizations to adapt their strategies. We will focus on how understanding these trends and the trade-offs they highlight can help managers better shape strategies at the intersection of public and private sectors.
