e-Commerce Law: Issues for Business
This text provides an understanding of the major legal issues confronting cyberspace and e-commerce. An integration of traditional law with the emerging law of cyberspace provides a unique perspective to help students see how and why business decision-makers may seek legal assistance before their transactions become irrevocably fixed or their actions become irreversible. This text utilizes court decisions, federal and state statutes, administrative rulings, the legal literature, and ethical issues relating to Internet Law to explain and demonstrate how e-commerce and the law relate to one another.
Irwin's Business Law: Concepts, Analysis, Perspectives (Irwin Legal Studies in Business Series)
A text for business law and legal environment courses, distinguished by its use of a critical thinking approach. The volume is divided into four units: the legal environment, commercial transactions, business organizations, and regulation of business. Each chapter opens with a business scenario, and from a managerial point of view challenges the student to study the chapter to answer the questions that follow. The opening scenario is then integrated through the chapter by using the same characters for various illustrations and examples.
Business-Government Relations and Interdependence
Although the topic of business-government relations (BGR) is obviously not original, the authors seek to make their work unique by creating a conceptual framework that attempts to utilize empirical data to address this interdependence systematically. To attain this goal, Stevens, Wartick, and Bagby build on the fragmented foundations of relevant BGR literature. Major issues addressed include the legal environment of BGR; the relationships between resource dependence and BGR attitudes of private-sector executives; the perceptions of BGR by public-sector managers; and an analysis of the Grace Commission as an example of a contemporary, nonproductive business-government interaction.
