ReviewsI reviewed all of the major textbooks in the field and find [Bagleys MANAGERS AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT: STRATEGIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY] consistently in the forefront. Each chapter, clearly summarizes -- with very recent additions of statutory law and case cites drawn from federal and state courts around the country -- both the current state of the law and the evolution of law. Students not only understand where the law is now, but also get a sense of its long-term trends and directions. My students get a broad and detailed background from reading this textbook, and that allows me to focus on key points from my perspective in classroom lectures and discussion. Im continually impressed by the way the author reconfigures and expands material, edition by edition, not only to update it, but also to make it even more accessible to students. Professor Bagley knows how to bring the most to those of us who teach law in a business school setting. Her latest edition, like the editions before it, is an invaluable resource., I reviewed all of the major textbooks in the field and find [Bagley's MANAGERS AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT: STRATEGIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY] consistently in the forefront.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisWith new cases and examples torn from the headlines, MANAGERS AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT: STRATEGIES FOR BUSINESS, 9E equips you with the legal knowledge and risk management techniques for success as a business manager. Cutting-edge coverage and a strategic approach teach you to enhance realizable value, redeploy resources, and manage legal and business risk. Up-to-date coverage addresses the rights of workers at firms, like Uber, in the "gig" economy; the right of employers to restrict employees' social media; ethics of compensating workers who are tipped; law to protect children's safety on the Internet; Fourth Amendment concerns in searches of cell location; rules governing "crowdfunding"; and the ramifications of the EU's "right to be forgotten." You learn to use legal tools to create value, attain business objectives, resolve legal issues, manage risk, and handle legal disputes.
