Business: Its Legal, Ethical, and Global Environment

STUDENTS MASTER LEGAL AND ETHIC PRINCIPLES AS THEY VIEW CONCEPTS IN ACTION. This edition uses memorable examples to help students recall key concepts. For instance, the book uses situations, such as Kansas City Royals' mascot injuring a fan by hurling a hot dog into the stands, to question assumption of risk. The book questions if a Michigan traffic officer chalking tires for parking offenses is violating the Fourth Amendment, or if students forced to transfer after a college shuts down can recover damages or if Amazon is liable for defective products from Amazon vendors.

ETHICS ARE INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE BOOK'S DISCUSSION. This edition challenges your students to develop their own ethical barometer as they apply personal values to real business situations. Rather than dictating a set of rules or theories, the text presents ethical dilemmas to breed moral courage and gumption in students -- helping them grow into savvy leaders who examine tough issues from every perspective.

EXCERPTED CASES OFFER THE MOST THOROUGH CASE TREATMENT AVAILABLE. Carefully selected, detailed case excerpts often provide both dissenting and concurring opinions. Each two- to four-page case includes a catchy, one-line synopsis of the legal and ethical issues presented, which helps students recall the case and its primary issues when needed, in class or on the job.
