STUDENTS MASTER LEGAL AND ETHIC PRINCIPLES AS THEY VIEW CONCEPTS IN ACTION. This edition uses memorable examples to help students recall key concepts. For instance, the book uses situations, such as Kansas City Royals' mascot injuring a fan by hurling a hot dog into the stands, to question assumption of risk. The book questions if a Michigan traffic officer chalking tires for parking offenses is violating the Fourth Amendment, or if students forced to transfer after a college shuts down can recover damages or if Amazon is liable for defective products from Amazon vendors.

ETHICS ARE INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE BOOK'S DISCUSSION. This edition challenges your students to develop their own ethical barometer as they apply personal values to real business situations. Rather than dictating a set of rules or theories, the text presents ethical dilemmas to breed moral courage and gumption in students -- helping them grow into savvy leaders who examine tough issues from every perspective.
EXCERPTED CASES OFFER THE MOST THOROUGH CASE TREATMENT AVAILABLE. Carefully selected, detailed case excerpts often provide both dissenting and concurring opinions. Each two- to four-page case includes a catchy, one-line synopsis of the legal and ethical issues presented, which helps students recall the case and its primary issues when needed, in class or on the job.
CALLOUT STUDY FEATURES BRING LAW, ETHICS, AND BUSINESS TOGETHER. "Business Strategy Tip" margin notes, "Business Strategy" boxes, "From the Manager’s Desk" readings and online exercises all offer insights into the strategic aspects of the law. Students apply the legal and ethical principles they’re learning to memorable challenges with actual companies.
END-OF-CHAPTER FEATURES INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO REAL ETHICAL OR LEGAL SITUATIONS. Students examine challenging situations from the viewpoint of the parties involved in the book’s biography. Thought-provoking essay questions in the special "…and the Law" feature center on economics, public policy, ethics or other areas of business interest, giving students practice contemplating actual issues of importance.
