Product Description

Corley's Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business emphasizes public rather than private law, government regulation of business rather than contracts, and legal relationships rather than business transactions. People conduct business within a legal environment. The interest of society in protecting both commerce and individuals has resulted in many laws regulating the conduct of business. A business education would not be complete without the knowledge of these laws which serve as a compass and guide to business decisions and provide a general direction and answers to questions of what a business may or may not do.

Corley highlights the legal and regulatory environment in which people and companies conduct business activities. Other factors also influence business decisions such as economic incentives, ethical standards, and an organization's view of social responsibility. The authors want students to remember to ask themselves - what is the reason for this legal requirement and how does it interact with the other factors.

Customer Reviews

Informative, enlightening, and well-organized.
Like many Americans, I didn't know much about our country's principles of government or its legal system. This book helped me to become more knowledgeable about both. I admit, this is not reading I would choose to curl up with in front of the fire; this was part of a requirement for my MBA. However, I will remember what I've learned in this text long after my class ends. Having previously been clueless about the legal system, it is now exhilarating to read about, say, how the nine US Supreme Court Justices are dealing with the aftermath of the Gore vs. Bush debacle and actually understand what is going on. The chapters are well-organized and easy to understand. There are even helpful study tips and ways to brief a legal case in the beginning of the text. After completing this book, I not only feel better equipped to handle business decisions, but also feel empowered and enlightened for better understanding our great country.
