Law serves an important role in the national and international business environments by providing the rules of the road. Informed decision-making requires knowledge of the foundations of the American and international legal systems, including contract law, property law, business formation, and many other areas.

However, meeting the requirements of the law is insufficient in the current business environment. The study of business ethics focuses on how businesses may go beyond regulatory compliance in their decision-making processes.
