Business Law and the Legal Environment
Don Mayer, Daniel Warner, George Siedel, and Jethro K. Lieberman
In writing Business Law and the Legal Environment, all four authors joined together with simple and clear goals:
- To provide students with context and essential concepts across the entire range of legal issues with which managers and business executives must grapple
- To supply students with the vocabulary and legal acumen necessary for business people to speak in an educated way with customers, employees, suppliers, government officials — and to their own lawyers
- To encourage students to see national borders as bridges, not barriers
- To provide students with progressive and comprehensive coverage of the principles of international business.
NOTE: Due to the page count of this textbook, we will ship copies of the textbook in a two-volume set.
This textbook is suitable for these courses: Business Law, Legal Studies
This textbook is suitable for 2 and 4 year institutions.
PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES:
This text is organized in a straightforward and logical manner, developing information throughout five different sections.
- CUSTOMIZABILITY:
The text selection process for business law can be confusing because of the huge array of publications and the lack of flexibility in tailoring textbooks to your course. Business Law and the Legal Environment, not only has both case summaries and excerpted cases, but the option to easily customize it by deleting chapters, reordering content, adding your own material, or even editing at the line level.
- INTERACTIVE FEATURES:
The online version of Business Law and the Legal Environment boasts embedded links to law-related videos at YouTube and other online sites for easy access by students and instructors.
- CUSTOMIZABILITY:
The Flat World Knowledge publishing model allows instructors to adapt the textbook to the exact needs of their specific class and student body.
