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

~ 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. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

This highly effective text provides superior legal, ethical, and regulatory coverage while fully integrating practical business practices for tomorrow's business managers. Legal topics are explored and explained through real-world business examples (over 300 references to business are made in the text). In addition to a solid foundation in the law, students learn valuable legal and ethical reasoning skills through a variety of critical thinking exercises. Students receive -- and appreciate -- practical advice on when it is necessary to call a lawyer, how best to use legal aid services and how to avoid legal trouble in the first place. This text fulfills current curricular and AACSB accrediting standards.

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

By	"jscampos_boston" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

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

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.
