麻省理工学院“开放式课程网页” | 史隆管理学院 | 15.615 2003春季课程：企业家与经理人相关法规

本课程的目的是让学生对企业存续期间所面临的法律问题有所认识。这堂课开始先介绍商法的基础架构，然后再从一家新设立的公司从母公司“独立”，一直谈到股票公开发行。

This course provides a basic understanding of legal issues that corporations face during their existence. The course starts by providing the basic building blocks of business law. We then follow a firm through its life cycle from its "breakaway" from an established firm through it going public.

15.647前半学期课程所涵盖的材料着重于公司的组织与财务。后半学期的课程则要向各位介绍一系列有关于知识产权、产品开发、公司并购、国际贸易、管理阶层的义务、商业纠纷、破产以及重整的法律相关议题。

The materials covered during 15.647 (the first half of the semester) emphasize the organization and financing of the company. In the second half of the course we examine a broad array of law-sensitive issues relating to intellectual property, product development, M&A transactions, international trade, the duties of directors and officers, business disputes, and bankruptcy and reorganization.

本课程的目的并非教授学生运用法律的技巧，而是要让学生在身为企业家、管理者，或是企管顾问时，得以藉此加强决策品质。我们会给各位两次家庭作业，并不考试。只想上前半学期“管理者之法律职责”课程的学生请选15.647，这部份仅于上半学期教授。

The goal of the course is not to impart technical legal skills, but to enhance the judgment which students will bring to their responsibilities as entrepreneurs, managers in established companies, or consultants and advisors. There are two take-home exercises, and no exams. Students wishing to take only the first half of the Manager's Legal Function should register for 15.647, which meets only during the H1 period.
