General information

“Business Law” focuses on internal legal processes of business enterprise whereas “Regulatory Environment” emphasizes external legal influence; the former is private law oriented, the latter belongs more or less to the domain of public law. We take both fields into consideration and have therefore developed the Paradigm of Managerial Law. This concept recognizes two important roles of the law in society: the normative and the instrumental one. Legal instruments (agreements, property rights, patents, legal persons) enables the establishment of a company and its continued existence. Legal norms and normative governmental policies limit the freedom of business enterprise. Managerial Law is a method to combine instrumental and normative legal aspects with the distinctive structures of the main functions management has to perform: human resources, production, marketing, financial and strategic management. This method reveals the legal agenda of professional managers and facilitates the performance of a legal audit.
