A Critical Thinking Approach

The Legal Environment of Business

Nancy Kubasek

Taking a dynamic, and very contemporary approach to the legal environment of business studies, this book covers introductory topics, private law, and public law, but offers an alternative to the traditional method of case analysis. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating a questioning dimension into legal reasoning, one, which involves critical thinking and the consideration of the impact of values (ethics) on the outcome being considered. The book outlines an authoritative step-by-step model for critical thinking/ethical analysis, and gives learners hands-on opportunities to develop these skills. A three-part organization relates the legal environment of business to a general introduction to the law, and then explores both private and public law. For individuals trying to understand the law as it relates to the business world.
