Synopsis

This leading legal environment text covers a balance of private and public law topics and provides students with an understanding of the effect of law on business decision-making. Viewing the law as far as more than an unconnected series of rules, the book explains and develops the broad, major principles of law in their historical and social context so that future business executives can appreciate the dynamic interplay of business and the law. Current, pertinent, and interesting "full" cases as well as numerous hypothetical problems make teaching and studying from this text appealing and effective. The fourth edition has two new chapters: "The Legal Basis of Enforceable Bargains: Contracts the Essential Elements," and "Legal Aspects of Business Organizational Forms." Both chapters are expansions of content previously covered in one chapter. International has been moved to the last chapter. Regulation has been split into two parts, the first dealing with customers and employees, and the second with property rights.
