Essentials of Business Law
By Jeffrey F. Beatty, Susan S. Samuelson, Patricia Sanchez Abril
About your course materials
Introduce the principles of business law with a text your students will thoroughly enjoy. Recognized for its reader-friendly presentation and packed with current examples and engaging stories, Beatty/Samuelson/Abril's ESSENTIALS OF BUSINESS LAW, 7E is praised by judges, attorneys, professors and students. The authors use more than 75 years of combined teaching experience to anticipate and answer student questions and present topics of interest, from marijuana contracts to the impact of Covid-19. Because the authors practiced law before teaching, they can clearly explain both theory and how legal concepts actually work in everyday business practice. Respected scholars who are able to provide authoritative information, the authors apply their strong understanding of legal and business practices to predict and address emerging legal trends and issues. This edition also offers an in-depth discussion of executive compensation, contrasting extensively researched theory with everyday reality. MindTap digital resources further reinforce learning with more than 1200 cases.
