Items related to Contemporary Business Law
For courses in Business Law. Exceptionally student-friendly, this full-color introduction to contemporary business law offers full coverage and clear explanations of traditional business law topics AND addresses the legal environment in which business must operate - e.g. Over 100 enrichment boxes focus on contemporary, ethical, and international issues, and over 150 contemporary cases provide examples of the application of the law. Optional Critical Legal Thinking Writing exercises conclude each chapter. Broad in scope, the text meets the AACSB's curriculum standards on ethics and globalization and on government regulation.
NOTE: Contemporary Business Law, 2/E features much of the same comprehensive coverage ― but briefer cases ― than Cheeseman's Business Law, 2/E.
