The third edition continues to bridge the longstanding gap between lawyers understanding of the perspective of managers and managers' uneasiness over the narrow perceptions of lawyers. It continues to meet the needs of both law students and management students. This new edition incorporates additional material on the personalities involved in and the political and social issues raised by the cases studied, and now includes two classic and pungent anti-takeover cases (involving Time magazine and Paramount studios). In an era when we are reexamining the basic assumptions of business regulation this text is a superb introduction to the field.
