Synopsis

Based on the best-selling West s Business Law, this innovative book maintains West s most popular signature features, as well as continues to offer flexibility for different philosophies. While offering a specific focus on public law issues such as ethics, government regulation, and administrative law, it also provides a good balance of private law topics like contracts and sales. It also provides comprehensive coverage of emerging trends in technological, societal, and business developments. Selected cases begin with either a "Historical and Social Setting" or a "Company Profile" and address the AACSB s curriculum requirements by focusing on global, political, ethical, social, environmental, technological, and cultural diversity issues.
