FEATURES:

• Preventing Legal Disputes: A special new feature that offers practical guidance on steps businesspersons can take in their daily transactions to avoid legal disputes and litigation. This feature is integrated throughout the text as appropriate.

• Critical Thinking: To help students think critically about the cases presented in the text, every case conclues with some type of critical thinking question: For Critical Analysis, What If the Facts Were Different?, Why Is This Case Important?, and Why Is This Case Important to Businesspersons.

• Beyond Our Borders: These features provide an awareness of the global legal environment by indicating how international laws or the laws of other nations

deal with specific legal concepts or topics being discussed in the chapter. Each of these features concludes with a For Critical Analysis Question.

• Application-Rich: Numerous features pique interest and aid learning by demonstrating the material’s practicality. “Landmark in the Law” features discuss a case, statute, or other law with significant impact. “Applications” give practical advice in applying the law to real-world business problems. “Management Perspectives” describe practical issues facing management. “Preventing Legal Disputes” offer practical guidance on steps businesspersons can take to avoid legal disputes and litigation.

• Emphasis on Ethics: In addition to Ch. 7 on ethics, “Ethical Issues” in most chapters address an ethical dimension of the topic under discussion. In addition, many of the cases conclude with an “Ethical Consideration” to probe the ethical ramifications of the court’s decision. End-of-chapter materials include a special “A Question of Ethics” case problem.

• Critical Thinking: To emphasize critical thinking, many of the pedagogical features and every case conclude with some type of critical-thinking element; the questions include “For Critical Analysis”, “What If the Facts Were Different”, and “Why Is This Case Important to Businesspersons”. End of chapter material also includes a section that focuses on critical thinking; questions include “For Critical Analysis”, “Critical Thinking and Writing Assignment”, and “Case Analysis Questions”. Also, unit-ending Extended Case Studies conclude with “Questions for Analysis” that prompt the student to think critically about the legal, ethical, economic, international, or general business implications of the case.

• Internet Law Feature: “Adapting the Law to the Online Environment” features found in most chapters enhance the text’s strong integrated Internet law coverage by focusing on a specific court case involving a dispute arising in the online environment.

• Case Treatment: Cases are presented in an excerpted (language of the court) format to provide students the opportunity of reading portions of the actual court opinion. Extended Case Studies are featured at the end of each text unit, highlighting a recent court case relating to one of the unit’s topics. Special emphasis is given to landmark and classic cases by setting them off with a special heading and logo, and they include a “Comment” section that stresses how important the court’s decision has been to the evolution of the law in that area.

• Featured Cases: Included in selected chapters, these cases are presented entirely in the words of the court so that students can learn how judges reason through legal questions. Each case concludes with a series of questions designed to help students test his or her understanding of the case.

SMITH AND ROBERSON’S BUSINESS LAW, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 14ERichard A. Mann, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Barry S. Roberts, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

SMITH AND ROBERSON’S BUSINESS LAW is an updated classic that features a comprehensive presentation of business law topics, end-of-chapter cases with edited facts and decisions to preserve the language of the court, and topics that reflect AACSB guidelines. This is the most complete and credible business law book available, and has a long tradition of accuracy and comprehensiveness, while keeping up-to-date edition after edition by consistently incorporating the latest issues and topics.


• NEW CASES: Reflecting the latest legal developments, SMITH AND ROBERSON’S BUSINESS LAW, 14e, adds new cases where relevant, including GRANHOLM v. HEALD; PHILIP MORRIS USA v. WILLIAMS; and METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER STUDIOS INC. v. GROKSTER, LTD.

• UPDATED COVERAGE: Providing the most up-to-date coverage available, the new 14th edition has been thoroughly revised to include the latest legal rulings. For example, chapters on contracts, sales, and negotiable instruments reflect Revised Article 1 of the UCC, the bankruptcy chapter incorporates changes made by the U.S. Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, and the chapter on securities regulation reflects recent SEC regulations regarding public offerings and disclosure of executive compensation.

• REVISED CHAPTERS: Chapter 19, “Relationship of Principal and Agent,” and Chapter 20, “Relationship with Third Parties,” have been extensively revised to incorporate the new Restatement of the Law Third, Agency, ensuring that students have the latest information available on this complex issue.

FEATURES:

• EXPANDED EXAMPLES: The new edition is packed with real-world examples--both actual and hypothetical--to help illuminate legal principles. These examples illustrate often complex topics in the context of real-life scenarios, helping students gain a more concrete understanding.

• A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: Now in its 14th edition, this time-tested, dependable classic continues to set the standard for undergraduate business law texts. Widely acclaimed for its long-standing tradition of authoritativeness, comprehensiveness, and reliability, the text combines that signature approach with a modern treatment of business law topics and innovative ancillary support.

• SUPERIOR CASE ANALYSIS: Providing an excellent assortment of landmark and current cases, the thorough end-of-chapter cases average at least two pages--substantially longer than the cases in most other texts--and are edited to preserve the language of the court. In addition, the placement and treatment of cases facilitates using, if you choose, a true black-letter-law case analysis approach in teaching the material.

• CASE FLEXIBILITY: End-of-chapter case treatment also gives you more

flexibility in selecting which cases to cover. Because case excerpts do not interfere with the discussion of law within the chapter, cases are easier to skip if you so choose. References within each chapter point students to relevant examples of issues that relate to specific end-of-chapter cases.

• QUESTIONS AND CASE PROBLEMS: Another key feature in end-of-chapter materials, the Questions and Case Problems challenge students to discuss the implications of each case, helping students further their understanding of chapter concepts while developing their critical-thinking skills.

• HELPFUL REVIEW: Summaries appear at the end of every chapter to facilitate complete review of the principles covered before students examine their application in case examples. In addition, insightful illustrations and exhibits are integrated throughout the text, complementing text discussion and illustrating key points with at-a-glance convenience.

New Edition!

WEST’S BUSINESS LAW, 11EKenneth W. Clarkson, University of Miami; Gaylord A. Jentz, University of Texas at Austin, Emeritus; Frank B. Cross, University of Texas, Austin; Roger LeRoy Miller, Institute for University Studies, Arlington, Texas

A market leader used by more colleges and universities than any other business law text, West’s Business Law continues to set the standard for making classic black letter law accessible, interesting, and relevant to business students. This edition refines and builds upon traditions established when the book was first introduced: authoritative content blended with cutting-edge coverage of contemporary topics and cases and an unmatched selection of innovative, high-quality support materials.


• Case enhancements: A text known for its outstanding selection and editing of cases, this edition brings back some of the classic cases from earlier editions as well as incorporating many new cases and case problems from 2007.

• Expanded ethics treatment: The Ethics chapter has been revised to be more practical, now utilizing more of a case-study approach to business ethics and ethical dilemmas facing businesspeople. Unit-ending “Focus on Ethics” features also convey this stronger practical emphasis with the inclusion of new sections on ethical issues facing management. New “Insight into Ethics” features integrate coverage of ethical issues throughout the text. Every chapter now has a “Question of Ethics” problem, most based on recent 2006 or 2007 cases. New “The Ethical Dimension” questions follow selected court cases, encouraging students to consider the case’s ethical implications.

• Even more critical thinking: New “Insight” features (which integrate e-commerce, ethics, and global environment topics throughout) conclude with two “Critical Thinking” questions. Each of these critical-thinking questions, as well as a set of new “Dimensions” questions that follow each case excerpt, focus on a specific curriculum requirement as outlined by the AACSB--exploring global, political, ethical, social, environmental, technological, and cultural contexts of business law.

• Thought-provoking topical extensions: All new for this edition, “Contemporary Legal Debates” and “Emerging Trends” features expand the coverage of selected topics and encourage critical thinking, illustrating how the law is constantly evolving in response to both technological developments and the needs and concerns of society and business. “Contemporary Legal Debates” introduce students to controversial issues and encourage them to take a position on the issue. “Emerging Trends” examine new developments in business law and challenge students to consider how these laws might affect businesspeople.

• Reorganization, refinement, and updating: The most recent and significant legal developments and court decisions have been incorporated throughout, and the coverage updated to be accurate and engaging. The Business Organizations and Property units have been fine-tuned for flow and clarity. The chapter on Law and Small Business has also been thoroughly revised.

FEATURES:

• Highly-praised case treatment: Offers an effective mix of classic and landmark cases with recent cases on hot topics that not only provide modern examples of business law but also that are of high interest to students. Case examples are excerpted (in the language of the court) and have been carefully selected and edited to strike a successful balance between student accessibility and appeal and solid illustration of how courts interpret and apply the law. To enhance students’ ability to learn and retain important information about how the law applies to real-world situations, “Impact of Case on Today’s Law” features conclude the landmark and classic cases, connecting the relevance of these cases to modern law, and every case concludes with at least two critical thinking questions for analysis.

• Builds case analysis skills: One longer case excerpt, presented entirely in the language of the court and containing no paraphrased sections, is included in every chapter to enhance students’ ability to identify the legal principles and issues faced by today’s businesses. The excerpts are suitable for case-briefing assignments and conclude with two questions that guide students’ analysis of the case and help build their legal reasoning skills. One “Special Case Analysis” question per unit directs students through the IRAQ process in analyzing one of the longer cases. End-of-chapter material also offers a “Case Problem with Sample Answer” so that students can compare sample answers to their own and learn what needs to be included when answering case problems.

• Strong critical-thinking/legal reasoning skill development: Selected cases conclude with “What If the Facts Were Different?” questions that alter the facts of the case and ask the student to decide if the same ruling would result. “Focus on Ethics” and “Emerging Trends” sections also encourage critical thinking, and “Contemporary Legal Debates” features elicit critical thought and discussion concerning controversial issues in today’s legal arena.

• From theory to practice: Chapters conclude with “Reviewing” hypothetical scenarios that pose a series of questions that require students to identify the legal issues and apply the legal concepts covered in the chapter. These features uniquely help students review chapter topics in a way that also teaches them how to apply the material practically.

• The latest course management tools: CengageNOW™ is a unique Web-based application that enables you to create and administer text-specific assignments easily that are automatically graded. Students come to class better prepared, and you can easily identify areas to focus on during lectures and assess overall student progress. A variety of question types, including essay questions, test simple reading comprehension as well as more complex critical thinking, legal reasoning, and case analysis skills.

BUSINESS LAW – SUMMARIZED CASES

BUSINESS LAW TODAY, STANDARD EDITION, 8EText and Summarized Cases–E-Commerce, Legal, Ethical & International EnvironmentRoger Miller, Institute for University Studies, Arlington, Texas; Gaylord A. Jentz, University of Texas at Austin, Emeritus

Interesting, clear, and applied, BUSINESS LAW TODAY: STANDARD EDITION is the ideal guide to the law and what it means in the business world--from contracts and secured transactions to warranties and government regulations. Easy to understand with an engaging writing style that is matched by vibrant visuals, BUSINESS LAW TODAY includes coverage of contemporary topics that impact not only the business world, but your life--from the USA Patriot Act’s effect on constitutional rights to the national “Do Not Call” registry. Fascinating features and intriguing cases highlight the material’s practicality.


• Global Perspective: “Beyond Our Border” (formerly “International Perspectives”) sections are included in most chapters and cover a broad array of topics that relate to the international business environment in more depth.

• Critical Thinking: To emphasize critical thinking, the end-of-chapter problem material in selected chapters includes a “Critical Thinking and Writing Assignment for Business” assignment that presents an issue in a business setting and requires students to write an answer that addresses a number of points.

• Case Enhancements: “Why Is This Case Important to Business?” features draw the students’ attention to how the legal concept impacts business (this feature replaces “Why Is This Case Important”). A case analysis assignment, found at the end of selected chapters, asks students to brief cases.

• Chapter Review: This new feature provides a good tool for instructors to use in class to wrap up the chapter and access the students’ understanding of the material discussed.

FEATURES:

• Case Treatment: Summarized cases facilitate understanding. Extended Case Studies are featured at the end of each text unit, highlighting a recent court case relating to one of the unit’s topics. The background and facts are first presented, then are followed by the majority and dissenting opinions. “Questions for Analysis” then encourage students to evaluate the legal, ethical, economic, international, or general business application of the case. Special emphasis is given to landmark and classic cases by setting them off with a special heading and logo, and they include a “Comment” section that stresses how important the court’s decision has been to the evolution of the law in that area.

• Case Relevance: The Landmark and Classic cases conclude with a section titled “Impact of This Case on Today’s Law” that explains to students why the case is still relevant for businesspersons today.

• Critical Thinking: Critical thinking questions conclude the in-text features (including the photo captions). Plus, selected cases include a “What If the Facts Were Different?” section that asks students how the decision might be different if the fact pattern was different. “For Critical Analysis” questions require the students to think critically about some topic discussed in the chapter.

• Application Rich: Found in most chapters, “Applications” offers practical advice on ways to navigate the legal waters of the business environment. Each “Application” concludes with a checklist on how to avoid legal problems. Also, included in many of the chapters, “Landmark in the Law” explores a landmark case, statute, or other law that has had a significant impact on business law. It concludes with a section titled “Application to Today’s World” that clarifies for students why the case is important to business today.

• Ethical Issues: Integrated throughout the text and numbered for easy reference, these features address ethical dilemmas related to the chapter topic. Included at the end of the chapter, “A Question of Ethics” questions ask students to look at both the legal and ethical issues revolving around hypothetical situations.

• Cumulative Business Hypothetical: Each unit concludes with a hypothetical, which introduces a business firm and then asks students a series of questions about how the law applies to the various actions taken by the firm. These hypotheticals provide a great opportunity to apply the laws learned in the unit and reinforce understanding.

• Adapting the Law to the Online World: Included in selected chapters, this feature discusses cutting-edge cyberlaw issues coming before today’s courts. These are updated as necessary for the Eighth Edition.

• Margin Notes and Definitions: To help students identify key topics or ideas they should keep in mind, “Remember,” “Notes,” “Be Careful,” and “Compare” are interspersed throughout the text. When a legal term is first introduced in the text, a definition is provided in the margin. Also, the “On the Web” margin feature directs students to relevant Web sites where they will find online articles, statutes, or other legal or information sources concerning a topic being discussed in the text.

• On the Web: This margin feature directs students to relevant Web sites where they will find online articles, statutes, or other legal or information sources concerning a topic being discussed in the text.

• Before the Test: Available on the Student Companion web site, interactive, multiple-choice questions help students prepare for tests. Students will also find flashcards and key terms available for quiz and exam preparation.

• ThomsonNOW: This timesaving suite of online tools offers unrivaled course planning and management tools, enabling instructors to pinpoint how well students master key concepts. Instructors can assign personalized study plans (a pre- and post-assessment of student knowledge with resources to reinforce concepts), view results in their gradebook, and then gear lectures around student needs.

ESSENTIALS OF BUSINESS LAW AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT, 10ERichard A. Mann, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Barry S. Roberts, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

ESSENTIALS OF BUSINESS AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT, 10th is an ideal choice for the one- or two-term business law course that is often required for business and accounting majors within today’s business departments. This authoritative, yet reader-friendly text answers the needs for instructors who use summarized rather than edited case and who prefer a “black letter law” flavor rather than a “business applied” approach.


• STRENGTHEN STUDENTS’ LEGAL REASONING SKILLS WITH NEW APPLYING THE LAW FEATURE —Teach your students how to effectively analyze and apply legal reasoning to cases and legal issues using the Issue, Rule, Application and Conclusion (IRAC) method. Students hone their abilities as each Applying the Law feature depicts a realistic situation that focuses on a single chapter’s concept in one of 13 select chapters in this edition.

• INTRODUCE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN BUSINESS LAW TODAY —Updates throughout this edition ensure your course reflects the latest important developments in contemporary business law. You’ll find the most recent information, such as expanded coverage of the Third Restatement and its application in principal and agent relationships (Chs. 8 and 29).

• PRESENT RECENT AS WELL AS LANDMARK DECISIONS WITH MORE THAN 35 NEW AND UPDATED CASES —Intriguing, summarized cases within this edition’s fresh student-friendly design capture students’ attention, providing summarized facts, decisions and opinions for reader clarity. An interpretation following each case details how the content relates to chapter materials.

• ENSURE STUDENT COMPREHENSION WITH END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS AND CASE PROBLEMS RESHAPED TO REFLECT YOUR NEEDS —Based on your feedback, numerous end-of-chapter questions and case problems still retain the language of the court whenever possible, but are restructured to enhance student understanding. Corresponding revised answers in the Instructor’s Manual make it easier to clarify supporting concepts.

• EMPHASIZE THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNET ON TODAY’S LAW WITH INTEGRATED CYBERLAW CONTENT —Now reorganized to appear throughout the edition wherever it corresponds with chapter discussion, dynamic Cyber Law content clearly demonstrates today’s e-commerce and how the Internet relates to and influences legal processes and business transactions.

FEATURES:

• EMPHASIZE BUSINESS APPLICATION WITH BUSINESS LAW IN ACTION —Give students meaningful insights into why they should learn legal concepts and how today’s managers apply the law with these longer examples of business law in action within contemporary workplace situations. Students see an auto manufacturer’s use of arbitration, find out about consumer

protection and Truth-in-Lending disclosures, examine good corporate governance, and more.

• DEMONSTRATE LEGAL CONCEPTS AT WORK IN BUSINESS TODAY WITH PRACTICAL ADVICE —Practical Advice scenarios throughout the text illustrate how business people apply legal concepts to today’s common business situations.

• HIGHLIGHT HOW ETHICS APPLY TO BOTH BUSINESS AND LAW WITH INTEGRATED ETHICS CASE STUDIES —A variety of managerial case studies rather than court cases in Chapter 2 demonstrate how ethics apply to business as well as law. Students examine corporate governance, corporate scandals, and Sarbanes Oxley. In addition, an Integrated Ethics Case walks students through an insider trading situation at Vulcan, Inc., a realistic multinational, Fortune-200 company and provides opportunity to debate a variety of related ethical issues.

• EXLORE TODAY’S INTRIGUING ETHICAL QUESTIONS WITH ETHICAL DILEMMA BOXES – Captivating Ethical Dilemmas boxes throughout this edition explore a series of social, procedural and ethical questions within the context of common managerial situations.

• APPLY CHAPTER CONCEPTS WITH CRITICAL THINKING ACTIVITIES —Guide students in examining legal policies or reasoning surrounding a court’s decision and strengthen their analytical skills with Critical Thinking Questions that follow every chapter case. Proven end-of-chapter Questions and Problems highlight realistic and actual situations and case problems to help students apply chapter concepts.

A summarized case version of the best-selling title for this course, BUSINESS LAW, ALTERNATE EDITION offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and student friendly delivery of classic black letter law blended with cutting-edge coverage of contemporary issues and cases. A successful combination of undergraduate-oriented pedagogy with traditional law school-like content makes the law accessible, interesting, and relevant for readers. The cases, content, and features of the exciting new eleventh edition have been meticulously and thoroughly updated, representing the latest developments. Ethical, global, and e-commerce themes are integrated throughout, and numerous critical-thinking exercises challenge students to apply what they’ve learned to real-world issues. The text also offers an unmatched range of support materials--including innovative online teaching and learning resources.


• Case enhancements: A text known for its outstanding selection and editing of cases, this edition brings back some of the classic cases from earlier editions as well as incorporating many new cases and case problems from 2007 and 2008. Some of the latest and most significant legal developments and court decisions have been incorporated throughout including: the U.S. Supreme Court case on patents, KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc. (Ch. 8); the U.S. Supreme Court case that overturned a 96-year old legal precedent that flatly prohibited resale prince maintenance agreements between manufacturers and retailers, Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc.; and the landmark Supreme Court case that involved violations of the Clean Air Act, Environmental Defense v. Duke Energy Corp.

• Expanded ethics treatment: The Ethics chapter has been revised to be more practical, now utilizing more of a case-study approach to business ethics and ethical dilemmas facing businesspeople. Unit-ending “Focus on Ethics” features also convey this stronger practical emphasis with the inclusion of new sections on ethical issues facing management. New “Insight into Ethics” features integrate coverage of ethical issues throughout the text. Every chapter now has a “Question of Ethics” problem, most based on recent 2007 or 2008 cases. New “The Ethical Dimension” questions follow selected court cases, encouraging students to consider the case’s ethical implications.


• Thought-provoking topical extensions: All new for this edition, “Contemporary

Legal Debates” and “Emerging Trends” features expand the coverage of selected topics and encourage critical thinking, illustrating how the law is constantly evolving in response to both technological developments and the needs and concerns of society and business. “Contemporary Legal Debates” introduce students to controversial issues and encourage them to take a position on the issue. “Emerging Trends” examine new developments in business law and challenge students to consider how these laws might affect businesspeople.

FEATURES:

• Highly-praised case treatment: Offers an effective mix of classic and landmark cases with recent cases on hot topics that not only provide modern examples of business law but also that are of high interest to students. Case examples are summarized (in the words of the author) and have been carefully selected and edited to strike a successful balance between student accessibility and appeal and solid illustration of how courts interpret and apply the law. To enhance students’ ability to learn and retain important information about how the law applies to real-world situations, “Impact of Case on Today’s Law” features conclude the landmark and classic cases, connecting the relevance of these cases to modern law, and every case concludes with at least two critical thinking questions for analysis.


• From theory to practice: Chapters conclude with “Reviewing” hypothetical scenarios that pose a series of questions that require students to identify the legal issues and apply the legal concepts covered in the chapter. These features uniquely help students review chapter topics in a way that also teaches them how to apply the material practically. “Business Application” boxes outline some of the legal pitfalls encountered in business relationships. Each feature identifies a legal issue of particular significance to business persons, explains how the courts have ruled on that issue, and then provides practical guidelines and advice for persons confronted with such issues.

• The latest course management tools: CengageNOW is a unique Web-based application that enables you to create and administer text-specific assignments easily that are automatically graded. Students come to class better prepared, and you can easily identify areas to focus on during lectures and assess overall student progress.

BUSINESS LAW AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT, STANDARD EDITION, 5EJeffrey F. Beatty, Boston University; Susan S. Samuelson, Boston University

Help students understand legal concepts through hands-on application with BUSINESS LAW AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT, 5e. Active learning features and practical exercises let future business leaders apply the law to issues they will face on the job. No other text is as effective at teaching why business law matters, not only to students’ future careers, but also to their daily lives.


• Emphasize Business Application: The new “Exam Strategy” feature is the most significant addition to this edition. It offers practical examples that help students learn the thinking process necessary to apply to the law. It provides essential practice material for students, divided up in a “Question/Strategy/Result” format. The content is written in relevant, engaging fashion for students. This new feature, met with great enthusiasm from business law reviewers, is interspersed throughout the text, offering many applications for students and instructors. Additional Exam Strategies appear in the new Exam Review section at the end of each chapter.

• Ensure Student Comprehension: The new “Exam Review” section at the end of chapters offers a review of key terms, highlighted with additional “Exam Strategy” exercises. Additional thought provoking questions round out this feature to provide a comprehensive study guide for students (or an excellent practice test for instructors to assign).

• Margin Definitions: Key terms are not only highlighted in the text, but also given greater emphasis pulled out into the margin with their accompanying definition.

• New Topics and Cases--Bring concepts to life by incorporating new developments in the legal environment. Over a third of the cases are new. Some highlights of new cases include: the liability of the movie producer when a movie inspires terrible acts; whether or not money can really buy happiness; what happens when discovery is purposely delayed until one side dies; whether TV networks should be prohibited from airing vulgar speech during live news broadcasts; the dividing line between simple gullibility and criminal fraud; a discussion of the First Sale Doctrine in copyright law that helps clarify when trading music is and is not legal; a real email exchange between two Hollywood executives humorously discussing the value of the fair use doctrine in copyright law; and new real-life intellectual property examples involving Barbie dolls, Harry Potter, Prince songs, iPods, eBay, and the Lennon song, “Imagine.”

• Updated “You Be the Judge” Features: Put students in the hot seat with refreshed scenarios such as: a home owner who can not make his mortgage payments; the potential devastation of the wrongful dishonor of checks; and the protection of whistleblowers as a matter of public policy.

FEATURES:

• Practical Ethics Coverage: An “Ethics Checklist” introduced in Chapter 2 provides questions to guide future managers in making tough decisions when faced with one of the many ethical dilemmas they will encounter on the job

that are not black and white. “Ethics” features throughout the text encourage students to practice thinking through real-world ethical scenarios.

• Emphasis on Active Learning: Numerous pedagogical features (“You Be the Judge,” “Ethics,” “Devil’s Advocate,” and “Role Reversal”) take an active role in driving the learning process. They test understanding throughout each chapter by asking students to practice applying what they have learned in realistic, contextual situations.

• Authoritative Coverage: This text has received the stamp of approval from trial and appellate judges, working attorneys, scholars, and teachers. Through exhaustive research and meticulous presentation, the authors set a new standard for business law texts in style and research. In addition, dozens of tough-minded instructors and editors have spent thousands of hours reviewing the revision of this book.

• “Lead by Example” Writing Style: The text’s strong narrative was developed with business students, not law students, in mind. It drives understanding of general legal concepts by putting them into context for students. The authors’ clear, concise style filled with lively examples introduces each topic with familiar, everyday real-world scenarios that students can easily relate to. Students gain an inherent understanding of abstract legal ideas before getting into conceptual definitions and discussions. These intriguing scenarios grab students’ attention and make them want to keep reading.

• Interdisciplinary Perspective: “Economics & the Law” feature provides an interdisciplinary perspective to show how legal decisions can have an impact on the world around us and even on our own everyday lives.

• Integrative Design: A unique design integrates application features into the flow of the text material, making them more likely to be read by students and thus provide the valuable real-world, contextual illustrations that are so critical to understanding concepts.

BUSINESS, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 8EIts Legal, Ethical and Global Environment Marianne M. Jennings, Arizona State University

Offering the best preparation for future managers, BUSINESS: ITS LEGAL, ETHICAL, & GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT, 8e International Edition, teaches you how to understand and apply legal and ethical concepts to real business. Going further than simply introducing you to the legal environment, this text offers the most comprehensive and integrated approach to exploring the intersection of law, business strategy, and ethics. It provides thorough coverage of relevant legal issues in the context of practical business examples--and includes almost 300 real-world applications! Almost every page illustrates the clear relevance of chapter concepts to issues you will face in the real world. Intriguing cases and critical-thinking exercises motivate you to apply law and ethics to real business scenarios.


• New Cases: A host of new cases includes a laser vision case describing when arbitration can be set aside, the Heald case on a state’s power to regulate interstate shipments to consumers, a London eminent domain case, a U.S. Supreme Court case on greenhouse gases and EPA authority, a case on the FTC’s control of product comparisons (mouthwash vs. floss), and new developments under CERCLA.

• Hot Topics: The text includes new discussions and updates on backdating of stock options, illegal immigrants, the popular “it’s a gray area” rationalization category, taxes and the Internet, political strategy funds, brownfields, employees and companies in trouble, Sarbanes-Oxley, Boesky and Milken, the dean dismissed after 28 years because she lied on her résumé, and U.S. Supreme Court case loads.

• Web Updates: The author works tirelessly to keep chapter concepts up to date. The text’s Website includes 10-12 author updates per month, indexed by chapter. References to these updates appear at the beginning of each chapter--an easy reminder to visit the Website to take advantage of this great resource.

• Ethical Issues: Insightful discussions give students experience in grappling with real-world dilemmas such as new ethical issues on student loans. The text highlights complex issues with such examples as PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Russian tax agency illustration of how complex the decision to do business in another country can be far beyond the simplistic “to bribe or not to bribe” issue.

• New Biographies: The text includes new biographies on John Roberts and Paul Wolfowitz.

FEATURES:

• Critical Thinking: To build students’ reasoning skills, “Consider . . .” features appear after cases and present relative or alternative fact patterns, often from a real court case, asking students to evaluate and analyze the legal and ethical issues just discussed. In addition, Case Problems challenge students

to better understand and think critically about the court’s decision.• Case Treatment: Carefully selected to pique student interest, detailed

excerpted cases (two to four pages long) often include dissenting and concurring opinions. Each case includes a catchy one-line introduction that provides a quick synopsis of the legal and ethical issues being presented so students will keep it fresh in their memories.

• Business Practice: No text builds a better bridge between law and business. “Business Planning Tip” notes are included in the margins. “Business Strategy” boxes offer insights into the strategic aspects of the law. “From the Manager’s Desk” readings show how companies interrelate with law and ethics. And online exercises apply legal principles to real-life companies.

• Ethics Integration: Instead of requiring students to memorize ethical “theory” or “rules” of behavior, the author believes the best way to teach ethics is to develop in students an internal moral barometer. The text helps students develop a sense of “moral courage and ethical gumption” by challenging them to think about what their values are and what they would do in difficult business ethics situations.

• Online Applications: End-of-chapter “Business Strategy Applications” prompt students to access online public records and documents (via the text Website) to analyze and apply legal principles to real-world business situations to see how the law affects companies. Examples include Microsoft Case Arguments, Creating a Diversity Program, and Name that Tort.

Case examples are excerpted (in the language of the court) and have been carefully selected and edited to strike a successful balance between student accessibility and appeal and solid illustration of how courts interpret and apply the law. To enhance students’ ability to learn and retain important information about how the law applies to real-world situations, “Impact of This Case on Today’s Law” features conclude the landmark and classic cases, connecting the relevance of these cases to modern law, and every case concludes with at least two critical thinking questions for analysis.

• Builds case analysis skills: One longer case excerpt, presented entirely in the language of the court and containing no paraphrased sections, is included in every chapter to enhance students’ ability to identify the legal principles and issues faced by today’s businesses. The excerpts are suitable for case-briefing assignments and conclude with two questions that guide students’ analysis of the case and help build their legal reasoning skills. One “Special Case Analysis” question per unit directs students through the IRAQ process in analyzing one of the longer cases. End-of-chapter material also offers a “Case Problem with Sample Answer” so that students can compare sample answers to their own and learn what needs to be included when answering case problems.


• From theory to practice: Chapters conclude with “Reviewing” hypothetical scenarios that pose a series of questions that require students to identify the legal issues and apply the legal concepts covered in the chapter. These features uniquely help students review chapter topics in a way that also teaches them how to apply the material practically.

• The latest course management tools: CengageNOW is a unique Web-based application that enables you to create and administer text-specific assignments easily that are automatically graded. Students come to class better prepared, and you can easily identify areas to focus on during lectures and assess overall student progress. A variety of question types, including essay questions, test simple reading comprehension as well as more complex critical thinking, legal reasoning, and case analysis skills.

New Edition!

THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 10ERoger E. Meiners, University of Texas, Arlington; Al H. Ringleb, Executive Director, Consortium of Universities for International; Frances L. Edwards, Clemson University

THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS, Tenth Edition, combines a business-specific focus and an engaging, readable style to provide non-lawyers with a detailed practical introduction to the legal system. With a strong emphasis on the nuts and bolts of the basic legal concepts all business students need to know, the text includes up-to-date examples and realistic situations that are easy to understand and appreciate. Now newly updated and expanded, this popular, reader-friendly text continues to make even complex topics enjoyable to explore and easy to master.


• Approximately 80 percent of the excerpted cases are new to this edition, with an emphasis on recent cases involving common business situations, ordinary companies, and clear and focused legal analysis (rather than multiple, complex issues or unusual exceptions). This pointed approach, building on familiar

cases and broadly applicable scenarios, makes it easy to engage students’ interest and illuminate key legal concepts.

• The jurisprudence feature has been retooled as The Lighter Side of Law to present selected topics through a lighthearted and entertaining, yet intelligent and informative, discussion of unusual cases and legal situations, providing an appealing and memorable way to address important course concepts.

• The current edition contains a completely new chapter devoted to criminal law, facilitating detailed coverage of a topic of widespread public interest and increasing importance for business students.

• A series of Pulling It Together case questions now conclude each unit to help students deepen their understanding of key legal concepts and their relationships, and to aid in comprehension and retention.

• A list of key legal terms concludes each chapter, allowing for simplified preparation of review materials, class assignments, and questions for quizzes and exams.

• Updated for this edition, Cyberlaw features are integrated throughout the text to provide short explorations, appropriate for class discussion or assignments, of applications of the law to the many developments arising from technology and e-commerce.

• Issue Spotters scenarios, expanded and updated for the new edition, address potential “red flag” legal situations in business, alerting students to major legal implications they may need to consider in their future careers. These unique features teach critical-thinking skills not through case analysis, as in most textbooks, but by inviting students to analyze issues as a business manager would.

FEATURES:

• Each chapter features excerpts of multiple cases, integrated within the text to provide immediate practical examples of key concepts, illustrate real-life legal reasoning, and demonstrate that judges must apply rules of law to resolve disputes--not just give personal opinions.

• As globalization affects more businesses, students need to understand the ways our legal system differs from those of other nations. International Perspective features are integrated throughout the text to highlight important variations in international law and provide a broader perspective on core legal concepts that apply to businesses in the United States and abroad.

• Each chapter concludes with a set of practice case problems, and several sample answers are posted on the text website, allowing students to verify their reasoning and improve their responses without additional guidance from an instructor. Most chapters also include an Internet assignment that directs students to specific websites to analyze online material and answer legal environment questions.

TECHNOLOGY LAW

LEGAL ASPECTS OF MANAGING TECHNOLOGY, 4ELee Burgunder, California Polytechnic

Legal Aspects of Managing Technology is designed for managers who work with innovations in any technological field. The book focuses substantial attention on the wide range of controversial issues regarding intellectual property rights, but covers all other key technology law topics as well, such as privacy, biotechnology, e-commerce and antitrust. The text examines legal policies from managerial and social perspectives, and it addresses strategic decisions within the international context. The book also uses hypothetical and real-world thread cases to show students how to critically think about legal choices as new topics are introduced.

FEATURES:

• Focused Coverage: Focuses on those topics that are most important and interesting to people involved in managing technology, presenting the most pressing and interesting issues without becoming mired in every nuance of the law.

• In-Depth Treatment: Computers and the Internet and Biotechnology are topics that receive significant coverage, since virtually all businesses are involved with the former and the latter generates such widespread public concern and interest.

• Multifaceted Contexts: Immerses readers in the public policy process by exposing them to all of the important social, ethical, religious, political, economic, and global dimensions of legal issues of managing technology to illustrate the various facets that come into play and need to be considered in managerial decision-making.

• Running Examples: Two running hypothetical examples (CoolEdge and their Optimizer stair climber product and a computer program called DeCSS) are highlighted throughout. Focusing on the disputes surrounding these

hypothetical scenarios illustrates how important it is to appraise technology from various legal contexts.

• Cases: A blend of key historical landmark cases and recent important judicial decisions are used. All cases are carefully edited (preserving the court’s original language) so that readers can focus on the major facts and issues without being distracted by legal nuances. To further assist the reader, cases are preceded by explanations of what to expect and followed by summaries of major principles covered in the case.
