Condition & Service
This book was in excellent condition and the price was great. Received in plenty of time for my class.

A very practical book for non-lawyers
With escalating competition from every angle; an extremely volatile marketplace; and mounting scrutiny that is being placed on businesses, their leaders are seeking new ways to continue to do business not only legally, but ethically, personably, economically. Goldman and Sigismond have provided a road map to threading on the legal mines without being blown away. For non-lawyers, like me, there is no doubt that this work will provoke a lot of interest and challenges to business leaders who find themselves dealing with a lot of conflicting issues today; and where legal and ethical "maybes" - the gray lines, are more prevalent than before. It appears that through the numerous cases, Goldman and Sigismind sensed a need to show non-lawyers how to navigate through the legal landmines safely. [Nwankama Nwankama]

Only good if you're completely new.
Lot of book is common knowledge. Chapters too long. Examples at end of chapters aren't very creative. Definitely a starter/intro level book.
