This textbook deals with business criminal law from the perspective of Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. It primarily addresses students in business and economics (master's programme) as well as business practitioners, but is also meant for lawyers and law students. As criminal law legislators exert considerable influence on economic life, raising and growing awareness in the area of criminal law seems compulsory for future managers and executives. This textbook approaches the legal field less normatively and rather in a practical and entrepreneurial way. Its contents are based on the master level class "Business Criminal Law" at "MCI | The Entrepreneurial School" taught by the author.
This textbook has been recommended and developed for university courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

First English language textbook on business criminal law in D-A-CH-FL Approaches legal field from a practical and entrepreneurial point of view Including the topics "Compliance" and "Internal Investigations"
