1. Presentation of the subject
The course Introduction to Business Law is fundamental in the curricula of International Business Economics. This is a mandatory course. Following Ward Fasworth´s approach as it is developed in his book "The Legal Analyst. A toolkit for thinking About the Law (Chicago University Press, 2007), the goal of this course is offering a guide to tool for thinking about the law. Economic, game theory, psychology, jurisprudence, history, and other fields will be used to provide an overview of the importance of legal rules applicable to businesses so that when completing this course, students will be able to identify legal issues an their impact on businesses while at the same time, getting familiar with the solutions legal systems provide in order to solve legal problems arising from the participation of businesses in market transactions.
Hence, this course is of crucial importance for this degree given that it provides the opportunity to become familiar with the different legal disciplines affecting the regulatory business context. The course will benefit all students given that it will enable them to develop a command of legal language and concepts that are encountered in the everyday business world.
Introduction to business is structured in two different parts that correspond to the two trimesters that this course lasts. The first part of this course intends to study legal issues that are relevant and have an impact on business decisions. The second part of this course aims at providing an overview of specific issues on contract law, focusing on Spanish contract law and its influence on business matters.
As we will see, business legal issues are real world daily matters so that it will therefore be crucial that you follow up on what is going on in the business world around you by regularly reading newspapers and magazines that regularly deal with economic and legal issues like Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week, Expansión, Cinco Días, or La Vanguardia, el País, as well as their weekend especial sections in economics.
• Position of the course in the curricula project
Introduction to Business is a mandatory subject of the second and third trimesters of the first year of the B.A. in International Business Economics. This course is worth 9 credits ECTS.
• Course Organization
The course duration is 20 weeks. All students will meet weekly with the professor for a lecture of an hour and a half.
Further, every second week, starting week 2, there will be a two hour practice session with the T.A. of this course. There will be a total of 10 practice sessions, 5 during the second trimester and 5 during the third. These practice sessions will be used to deepen discussion of the readings done and the topics studied as well as to relate the acquired knowledge with everyday legal issues regarding business matters.
2. Competences to be attained
This course aims at providing students with analytical and discussion skills that will be useful for their studies in International Business Economics and for their prospect professional career. The skills that this course intends to develop are general and specific and are reflected in the next chart.
All skills will be evaluated through the biweekly continuous valuation assignments as well as with the different exams of this class - both at the end of the second trimester and at the end of the third trimester.

Course evaluation will be based on the following criteria:
Both parts of this course will be jointly evaluated so that you will only have one grade for the WHOLE course.
Each trimester of the course -second and third- will have the same weight in the final grade. Hence, each trimester is with 50% of the grade.
The minimum required grade to pass this course will be 5 points out of 10.
In order to be able to take the average grade between both trimesters you need to score at least 3.5 points as the lowest grade of one of the trimesters. If the average between both grades is above 5 so that you can compensate the 3.5 points, you will pass this course.
5. Metodology
This class combines classroom activities as well as readings and writing students will have to perform outside of the classroom.
Introduction to business is a 20 week course structured in two differentiated parts, each of which will last 10 weeks and will weight equally in the evaluation of the course.
The methodology of each kind of lectures will follow the same structure:
a. For the theory lectures:
Each week students will have a two hour lecture given by the professor of the course.
b. For the practice sessions
During the 20 weeks there will be 10 practice sessions - 5 in each part - to further work the issues arising from the class materials and to apply them to the daily business realities.
The 10 practice sessions will be conducted by the Teacher Assistant of this class.
Two weeks before the practice session you will have the assignment available to work on it and hand it in the week before the practice session so that there will be enough time to grade them and return them to you during the practice session.

Credits ECTS: 8
Total hours of study of each student: 200 hours (25 hours per credit ECTS).
Distribution of work load for each student:
