Synopsis

In 1963, the first edition of Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business, authored by Bob Corley, started a new course emphasizing the legal environment in which business is conducted. By focusing on the public nature of how government regulates business activities, rather than simply how businesses privately make transactions, a movement away from traditional Business Law began. Through it’s previous 13 editions, Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business has been the leader in setting the standard for materials covered in an introduction to the legal and regulatory environment of business.

About this title

From the Publisher

The addition of E-Commerce Connection boxes throughout demonstrates the authors' passion for keeping the text in line with the high level of interest in this area.
Chapter 9 'Property in the Cyber Age' is a new chapter. This chapter is an Intro to Property with an emphasis on Intellectual Property as it applies to technology and the Internet. HOT TOPIC!
Due to the increase in Anti Trust actions in the US, a second chapter (chapter 14) on Anti-Trust has been added.
The coverage of Courts and Litigation (previously chapter 2 in 11th edition) has been expanded and is now covered in chapters 2 and 3 in the new edition. This was done to make the material more manageable.
An energetic four-color design helps stimulate student interest in the subject matter.
Solid use of pedagogical features such as concept summaries, key terms, review questions and chapter opening situations makes student learning all the easier.
Tobacco Industry Insight boxes are an oft-sited highlight of this text. Ten sections throughout the text will apply chapter concepts to the tobacco industry. (Similar to a running case in a strategic management text). These boxes help students apply concepts they've learned.
End of chapter problems and review questions have been substantially revised and parallel the chapter outline. Students will find at least one question from each chapter section.
Terminology review question at the end of each chapter, another pedagogical feature to help student learning!
