PREFACE
This book presents a set of flashpoints where business imperatives, law, and ethical concerns collide. We aim to give our students practice confronting some of the tough decisions they will make as managers, and a taste of some of the debates they may want to participate in as citizens. Through carefully selected and edited cases and readings, we present controversies that tend to disturb and destabilize pat responses, creating spaces for students to begin to develop critical habits of mind.

FOCUS ON TEACHING & LEARNING
We cannot effectively teach everything about the legal system—even everything about business law—in just one semester. The vast “seamless web” is always in flux, as legislatures and courts channel the cultural, economic, and political forces that impact upon it. Law is, in this sense, a kind of moving target, and we believe in studying why and how it changes.
We have selected readings that reveal the process of the law as it evolves— the pressure points where controversy is brewing and where ethical issues surface.
Our students know a good story when they see one. A case is a rich, stylized form of a story, with a protagonist, antagonist dispute and resolution.
Each one of our chapters starts with a lightly edited case, selected not just because it is current, or a landmark, but because it is likely to provoke reaction and to effectively problematize the theme of the chapter. We follow that lead case with a mix of readings from scholarly and media sources, from different areas of expertise, and from different cultural perspectives, offering a variety of prisms through which students can view the chapter theme. Meanwhile, we demonstrate how the law has evolved in this area, highlighting the latest developments.
We give as much thought to effective teaching tools as to interesting content. After every case and reading, and at the end of every chapter, we include questions, exercises, and projects that we know work well in the classroom. Overall, our aim is to produce a book that will be enjoyable to teach, and that will help students hone their ability to make informed judgments, and to become fully engaged citizens of a globalized world.
