Interesting material. Business Law has always been KSU's home for our negotiation courses at both grad and undergrad levels. I will be teaching both this fall.

Subject: Latest Issue of BizEd




The latest issue (July/August) of the AACSB publication BizEd contains several references to the law. First, an article on public policy research at East Carolina University mentions a report coauthored by business law professor James Holloway on technology and public policy. The report was published in the International Journal of Business Community and Risk Management. 

Second, an article by Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff and Richard Custin, who teach business law at the University of San Diego, describes how mediation training can fit into business law courses. They note, for example, how the iconic Lucy v. Zehmer case can be used as the basis for a mediation role play. 

[As an aside, I would go further and argue that business law courses are an ideal location for the introduction of negotiation in general. In many schools, colleagues from other areas teach the negotiation courses. A negotiation module in a business law course at least provides an opportunity for business law professors to add their own perspective to the students’ negotiation training.] 

Finally, the issue includes an article about how a Finnish business school, as part of a curriculum redesign, invited 78 company representatives to participate in workshops where they were asked how the school could improve the curriculum. The participants “wanted our courses to focus on practical issues, such as the legal requirements…. [and] thought that we should place greater emphasis on areas such as … law.”
