Throughout its 80 years of existence, Business Law: The Ethical, Global, and Digital Environment has been a leader and an innovator in the fields of business law and the legal environment of business. This textbook was the first to inject regulatory materials into a business law textbook, defining the legal environment approach to business law and over the years, has also been a pioneer, introducing materials on business ethics, corporate social responsibility, global legal issues, and e-commerce law. One reason for the book’s success is its clear and comprehensive treatment of the standard topics that form the traditional business law curriculum, providing all business majors with a firm understanding of law in the context of business. It engages students with cases that are current and relevant, but also maintains “landmark” cases, as well as cases from the past, that are superior to more current cases in teaching students a particular topic. The program also provides content topics that address accreditation standards set by the AACSB with a focus on ethical issues and global issues with Ethics in Action boxed features and chapters covering international topics like corporate inversions. The 18th edition will continue to be an innovator in business law preparing your students for the real world.
