Business: Its Legal, Ethical, and Global Environment (Hardcover)

by Marianne M. Jennings (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review
After having reviewed many textbooks to use in my course instruction, Jennings’ style, content, and organization are very attractive. As business ethics has become a pervasive theme in course work, it is certainly helpful to encounter little snippets or even longer profiles of ethical dilemmas that are of current interest.

The Business Strategy feature contains some really interesting material for thought and discussion. I like the fact that this book forces the student to constantly think about the business ramifications of law.

Product Description
BUSINESS: ITS LEGAL, ETHICAL AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT offers the most integrated approach to Legal Environment on the market – thoroughly exploring the intersection of law, business strategy, and ethics illustrated by emphasizing applications (nearly 300 real-world applications throughout the text). In addition to a providing very thorough coverage of the law, the book consistently applies legal concepts within a business context through a wealth of pedagogical devices, demonstrating to students on nearly every page the clear relevance of the material to issues they will face in the real world. This text fulfills current curricular and AACSB accrediting standards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, I recommend it., September 4, 2001

This review is from: Business: Its Legal, Ethical, and Global Environment (Hardcover)

This book was assigned to one of my MBA classes. The book itself was a good source of reference not only for my business law class but also to other two classes. The book's language is simple and easy to understand. The only flaw I found about this this book was that some cases were complex and I had to refer to actual law books and regulations. Overall, I recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Comprehensive, March 16, 2006

By	N. Chandler "Word Diva" (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This text offers great details, but I did not rate it as 5 stars because (1) when searching for content, it is difficult to see the key words in the text and (2) the case studies are well selected, but since they are inserted throughout the chapter, it is challenging to determine where the case ends and the author's content begins.

Overall, I would recommend the Jennings text and will keep a copy on my shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Business Resource , April 3, 2009

By	Zachary G. Madrigal (N. Scottsdale, Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Business: Its Legal, Ethical, and Global Environment (Hardcover)

This book was used in my MBA Business Law course and was so well designed I purchased this text as my business law reference book. The book itself is an excellent resource not only for my business law class but have used in other MBA courses I have taken. The text is written in a simple and easy to understand format. The 8th edition is the most current edition and covers all business legal matters. A must have reference resource! Overall, I recommend this book.
