Build‐A‐Business Goes to Grad School: Using Build‐A‐Business in an MBA Business Law Course

Abstract This article investigates the effectiveness of using the Build‐a‐Business project in a graduate elective law course called Managing in the Legal Environment. Findings indicate that graduate students positively perceive this activity as a useful learning tool. Students participate in the project throughout the semester then complete a written paper to reflect on their interaction with the Build‐a‐Business project, in which they share their project perceptions and how effective the project was as a learning tool. Student perception data demonstrates the effectiveness of the project. The article recommends the project's use in graduate law classrooms based on the author's successful implementation.
