PREFACE
The study of business and the legal environment has universal applicability. A student entering any field of business must have at least a passing understanding of business law in order to function in the real world. Business Law Today, The Essentials, Eleventh Edition, provides the information in an interesting and contemporary way. The Eleventh Edition continues its established tradition of being the most up-to-date text on the market.
Instructors have come to rely on the coverage, accuracy, and applicability of Business Law Today, The Essentials. This best-selling text engages your students, solidifies their understanding of legal concepts, and provides the best teaching tools available. I have spent a great deal of effort making this edition more contemporary, exciting, and visually appealing than ever before. Special pedagogical devices within the text focus on legal, ethical, global, and corporate issues, while addressing core curriculum requirements.
The Eleventh Edition incorporates the latest legal developments and United States Supreme Court decisions. It also includes more than forty new features and fifty-five new cases, over a hundreds new examples and case examples, new exhibits, learning objectives, margin definitions, and case problems.
New Chapter on Internet Law, Social Media, and Privacy For the Eleventh Edition, I have included an entirely new chapter (Chapter 5) entitled Internet Law, Social Media, and Privacy. Social media have entered the mainstream and become a part of everyday life for many businesspersons. Throughout the text, I recognize this trend by incorporating the Internet and social media as they relate to the topics under discussion.
New Features
The Eleventh Edition of Business Law Today, The Essentials, is filled with exciting new features including the following:
• Nineteen Adapting the Law to the Online Environment features examine cutting-edge cyberlaw issues. Sixteen of these are new and cover topics such as Facebook poker, hacking, patent trolls, paying with smartphones, revenge porn, and social media.
• I have included fifteen new Ethical Issues that focus on the ethical aspects of a topic being discussed in order to emphasize that ethics is an integral part of a business law course.
• I have also added seven new Beyond Our Borders features (for a total of fifteen) that focus on the global legal environment and illustrate how other nations deal with specific legal concepts being discussed.
• For this edition, I have created a new feature entitled Managerial Strategy that focuses on the management aspects of business law. There are seven of these new features throughout the text, covering such topics as the commercial use of drones, marriage equality, and the use of company e-mail systems to organize a union.
• Six Business Application features and five Linking Business Law to [one of the six functional fields of business] features are included at the end of selected chapters. The Business Applications focus on practical considerations and offer checklists related to the chapter’s contents, whereas the Linking Business Law features underscore how the law relates to other fields of business.
• Thirteen Landmark in the Law features discuss a landmark case, statute, or other legal development that has had a significant effect on business law.
New Cases and Case Problems
The Eleventh Edition of Business Law Today, The Essentials, has new cases and case problems from 2015 and 2014 in every chapter. The new cases have been carefully selected to illustrate important points of law and be of high interest to students and instructors. I have made it a point to find recent cases that enhance learning and are simple enough for business law students to understand.
Certain cases and case problems have been carefully chosen as good teaching cases and are designated as Spotlight Cases and Spotlight Case Problems. Some examples include Spotlight on Apple, Spotlight on Beer Labels, Spotlight on Nike, and Spotlight on the Seattle Mariners. Instructors will find these Spotlight decisions useful to illustrate the legal concepts under discussion, and students will enjoy studying these cases because they involve interesting and memorable facts. Other cases have been chosen as Classic Cases because they establish a legal precedent in the particular area of law.
Each case concludes with a question, which may be called Critical Thinking, What If the Facts Were Different? or Why Is This Case Important? Classic Cases conclude with an Impact of This Case on Today’s Law section that clarifies how the case has affected the legal environment.
Suggested answers to all case-ending questions can be found in the Solutions Manual for this text.
Many New Highlighted and Numbered Case Examples
Many instructors use cases and examples to illustrate how the law applies to business. For this edition of Business Law Today, The Essentials, I have added seventy-six new highlighted cases and numbered Examples, and eighty-one new highlighted and consecutively numbered Case Examples. Examples illustrate how the law applies in a specific situation. Case Examples present the facts and issues of an actual case and then describe the court’s decision and rationale. The numbered Examples and Case Examples features are integrated throughout the text to help students better understand how courts apply the principles in the real world.
Critical Thinking and Legal Reasoning Elements Critical thinking questions conclude most of the features and cases in this text. There is also a Debate This question at the end of each chapter that requires students to think critically about the rationale underlying the law on a particular topic.
Answers to all critical thinking questions, as well as to the Business Scenarios and Case Problems at the end of every chapter, are presented in the Solutions Manual for the text. In addition, the answers to one case problem in each chapter, called the Business Case Problem with Sample Answer, appear in Appendix F. The chapter-ending materials also include a separate section of questions that focus on
critical thinking and writing. This section always includes a Business Law Critical Thinking Group Assignment and may also include the following:
• Critical Legal Thinking questions require students to think critically about some aspect of the law discussed in the chapter.
• Business Law Writing questions require students to compose a written response to a business-oriented critical-thinking question.
