Feature Summary
A Student DVD (You be the Judge) is available with each new copy of the text and features 18 interactive videos featuring courtroom arguments for business law cases. These interactive videos give students the opportunity to hear the case and then make their decision. After that, they can access the judge's decision and reasoning. Students are able to disagree with the judge, and "state their case" at the end of each scenario.
Chapter on Ethics. With ethics in the forefront now, the authors have significantly increased the coverage to give instructors and students more time to discuss this important topic.
Cyberlaw in Action. In keeping with today's technological world, these boxes describe and discuss actual instances of e-commerce and cyberlaw occurring in businesses today.
The Global Business Environment. Since global issues affect us in many different aspects of business, this material now appears throughout the text instead of in a separate chapter on International Issues. This box brings to life global issues that are affecting business law.
LogOn. These appear where appropriate and direct students to relevant Web sites that give more information on the topic at hand.
Ethics in Action. The ethic and public policy concerns have been removed from the text and replaced with Ethics in Action boxes in each chapter. They appear throughout the chapters and offer critical thinking questions and situations that relate to ethical /public policy concerns.
Opening vignettes begin each chapter and present students with a mix of real-life and hypothetical situations and discussion questions. These stories provide a motivational way to open the chapter and get students interested in the content they are about to read.
Concept Reviews visually represent important concepts presented in the text to help summarize key ideas at a glance and simplify students' conceptualization of complicated issues.
Case briefs include the judicial opinions accompanying court decisions. These help to provide concrete examples of the rules stated in the text, and to provide a real-life application of the legal rule.
Problem cases appear at the end of each chapter to encourage student review and comprehension of key topics.
Key terms are bolded throughout the text and defined in the end of text glossary to assist students in their comprehension.
