    Business law and ethics affect every business, whether you are a for profit or nonprofit organization. Laws are not constant as they are interpreted by the courts which create vast uncertainty for business. Organizations must comply with the law, period. Ethics (like many laws) are not always clear; in fact, they are gray and we often learn from other organizations mistakes. Organizations should live by a "Code of Ethics" to promote ethical behavior at all levels, and advise individuals/employees on what to do when they observe or perceive something unethical. You will examine workplace issues impacting supervisory responsibilities and explore the influence of ethics on individuals and organizations. You will be introduced to the American legal system. Understand civil, criminal, contract, employment, and labor laws and how they affect business.
