"BGP Technologies is a fictitious biotech company that provides pharmaceutical consulting, custom drug manufacturing, and a line of consumer medical devices and generic drugs to customers worldwide. It has consulting offices in most of the major cities in the world, including New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Rome, Shanghai, and Mumbai, with manufacturing plants in the United States, China, and Mexico. Recently, the worldwide financial slump has put the company in a difficult position. Before the downturn, the company could absorb the litigation costs associated with its operations as part of the normal cost of doing business; now it can no longer afford to do so. BGP Technologies wants to implement whatever actions it can to avoid or at least minimize some of the legal pitfalls facing it in its worldwide operations. This is the topic of your final project-a companywide legal risk avoidance plan.

Final Project Scenario

Prepare a company-wide plan for minimizing the legal risks associated with BGP Technologies' operations. This legal risk avoidance plan is the capstone project for this course. Every week, you will work toward building the final project by incorporating your research, class discussions, and written assignments.

Consolidate your research and class discussions into a short paper of approximately 1,250 words in length, using APA format. "
