This best-selling comprehensive book integrates excerpted (edited) cases in a student accessible format. All legal terms are defined when first introduced. To aid the reader in putting the cases in context and to address some of the AACSB requirements, most cases begin with either a Historical Setting or a Company Profile. This text meets all AACSB curriculum standards, and addresses all business law topics covered on the CPA exam. Also, for those that plan to take the CPA exam, there is an additional CPA supplement. To make it easier to pull together the wide array of supplements from which to select, we offer an Instructor's Course Planning Guide. This text is also available in an Interactive CD-ROM Edition. The CD-ROM can be used either as a stand alone item or in conjunction with the text. Along with inclusion of the entire text, the CD-ROM includes many enhancements such as video, audio, interactive learning labs, Internet access, full case presentations, interactive study guide, and a notebook function the students can use to make their own notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for entrepreneurs -- much more than law, June 15, 2000

This review is from: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Business Law (Paperback)

Any person beginning a new start-up should pick this up before they get much further than an idea. Though geared towards the major legal issues involved in starting a company, this book covers many of the essentials of beginning and structuring a business far better than most of the other books on financing or building start-ups. I've at least looked through a dozen books on the subject and none has had better, more explicit guidance on dividing founder's equity, options, funding relationship and so much more. I cannot recommend this book highly enough; you'll be at a disadvantage without it. You can view other reviews of entrepreneur books via my reviewer profile.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Entrepreneurs, September 28, 1999

This review is from: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Business Law (Paperback)

This book is such a fabulous resource that I use it as my primary textbook for the M.B.A. course I teach at Kellogg entitled "Business Law for Entrepreneurs." All my new client entrepreneurs receive a hearty recommendation, and if that doesn't work, a plea, to read this insightful and practical guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passed the acid test of negotiating venture capital, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Business Law (Paperback)

I'm a Silicon Valley executive and entrepreneur. I had to negotiate a term sheet to raise a venture capital round for my company, having never done so. The clear, concise, "human readable" advice in the book gave me all the juice I needed to swing a great deal. What's the ROI on that? And it was a hell of a lot easier and cheaper than iterating with my lawyers.

If you're starting or running a small company, BUY THIS BOOK. It's a must-have!
