Introduction to Business Law

THOROUGHLY REVIEWED INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTS NOW OFFER SIGNFICANT IMPROVEMENTS. Digital and traditional resources save you time in class preparation and grading in this edition’s comprehensive support package, which includes new Cengage MindTap and Infuse digital resources.

"YOU BE THE JUDGE" CASES PROVIDE BOTH FACTS AND ARGUMENTS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE CASE. These engaging, contemporary cases, which appear in each chapter, present both sides – from the plaintiff and the defendant. The cases initially omit the court’s final decisions in order to encourage class discussion and allow your students to think through the problems themselves.

EXAM STRATEGY AND EXAM REVIEW FEATURES HELP STUDENTS EFFICIENTLY PREPARE FOR TESTING AND EVALUATIONS. Comprehension study tools at the end of each chapter help your students check their progress and review their understanding of concepts for exam success. Exam Strategy features present a question, teach students how to analyze the problem and then provide the answer. In Exam Reviews students check their comprehension as they practice legal principles. Answers to the odd-numbered problems appear in an appendix.

THE BOOK’S SIGNATURE STUDENT-FRIENDLY WRITING STYLE PUTS LEGAL CONCEPTS INTO REAL-LIFE CONTEXT. The authors use familiar real-world scenarios and a conversational tone throughout the book to engage readers and help students gain a thorough understanding of material.

MINDTAP AND CENGAGE INFUSE ONLINE DIGITAL RESOURCES SUPPORT STUDENT LEARNING. With MindTap, your students will learn how the law plays out in their everyday lives and how they can identify legal issues in their future careers. Whiteboard videos clarify and build on concepts from the book. Cengage Infuse for Business Law is the first-of-its-kind digital learning platform that leverages your Learning Management System (LMS) for simple course set up, intuitive management tools and auto-grading.
