BUSI 6009

The aim of this course is to explore the relationship between businesses and the public sector. Government impinges on business policy and activities through laws, regulations, subsidies, taxes, and its spending powers. How businesses can and do influence decisions in these areas constitutes the technical matter of the course. As a matter of necessity, the course assumes some prior general knowledge of the Canadian political system. This can be gained from either general politics courses or by some preliminary reading on the subject.
