Seminar: What’s Law Got To Do With It: Integrating Law and Strategy

Professor Bagley will present her work on developing a theory of law and strategy that embeds legal and other nonmarket factors in mainstream theories of competitive advantage. 

She has recently published her work on the subject in American Business Law Journal, vol. 47, Issue 4, pp. 587-639, Winter 2010, in which she issues a call for legal scholars “to join forces with researchers in the fields of strategy, management, and political science to understand more fully the interface of law, management and strategy and the role of legal astuteness in the achievement and sustainability of competitive advantage”.
