Review
After having reviewed many textbooks to use in my course instruction, Jennings’ style, content, and organization are very attractive. As business ethics has become a pervasive theme in course work, it is certainly helpful to encounter little snippets or even longer profiles of ethical dilemmas that are of current interest.

The Business Strategy feature contains some really interesting material for thought and discussion. I like the fact that this book forces the student to constantly think about the business ramifications of law.

Customer Reviews

Overall, I recommend it.
This book was assigned to one of my MBA classes. The book itself was a good source of reference not only for my business law class but also to other two classes. The book's language is simple and easy to understand. The only flaw I found about this this book was that some cases were complex and I had to refer to actual law books and regulations. Overall, I recommend this book.

Quite Comprehensive
This text offers great details, but I did not rate it as 5 stars because (1) when searching for content, it is difficult to see the key words in the text and (2) the case studies are well selected, but since they are inserted throughout the chapter, it is challenging to determine where the case ends and the author's content begins.

Overall, I would recommend the Jennings text and will keep a copy on my shelf.

Excellent transaction and shipping
This book was in good shape and was shipped in a very timely manner. This book was purchased at a very inexpensive price also. Thanks.
