About the research group
The Business Law and Information research group produces multidisciplinary research where business studies and law intersect. The research program emphasises the phenomenon-oriented connection between research on corporate law, tax law, and business. The goal is to examine the impact of legal and business information especially related to the economical decision making on businesses and their owners. The research produces tools to create a more efficient business environment, manage risks and develop new business opportunities. We collaborate closely with departments at the University of Vaasa, other universities in Vaasa and in Finland. Our international cooperation is focused especially on other European countries and USA.
