West's Legal Environment of Business: Text and Cases--Ethical, Regulatory, International and E-Commerce Issues

Book Description

Based on the best-selling West's Business Law, this text maintains its most popular features and continues to offer flexibility for different teaching philosophies. While focusing on public law issues such as ethics, government regulation, and administrative law, it also provides a good balance of private law topics such as contracts and sales. Selected cases begin with either a "Historical and Social Setting" or a "Company Profile" and address the AACSB's curriculum requirements by focusing on global, political, ethical, social, environmental, technological, and cultural diversity issues.

Somewhat dry reading.......2006-02-25

This book has some interesting case studies, but it somewhat dry reading. I bought it for an MBA class, and it seems more suited to undergraduate study because there is not a lot of direct application for professionals.

Wests Legal Enviornment Of Business.......2004-08-20

I bought the RIGHT edition and then sent me the WRONG ONE!!

Overpriced garbage!.......2002-01-31

This review is pertaining to the 7th edition, hardcover book. This book is printed in very small print, all in one color (blue), on very thin (cheap) paper. How the publisher justifies the ridiculous price is beyond me!

If you need to buy this book for academic purposes, then at least try to find a cheaper used copy--It's not worth the money!

Critical Issues in E-Commerce.......2003-08-12

I was very impressed with this book. It gave an excellent view of the kind of considerations that a company should make before pursuing e-business. I was also pleased with the level of detail in the selected case studies. It provided a very comprehensive list of e-commerce issues, and yet did not get bogged down with huge amounts of detail. I have marked a lot of pages for future reference!

A worthwhile read.......2002-11-14

The cases discussed in this book clearly highlighted relevant issues for any company involved in e-commerce. I work for a small manufacturing organization and while the discussions did not specifically deal directly with manufacturing organizations, I was able to identify items that pertained to our e-commerce applications. I have concluded that many e-commerce issues are common across dissimilar organizations and we can all learn from other companies' experiences. I recommend this book, regardless of expertise in the field.

Book Description

The special issue of the Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business deals with the very topical subject of e-commerce. This is an area that has seen an explosion of interest in recent years but, since the increase in the use of the Internet as a vehicle for conducting business transactions has been so rapid, the law has again fallen behind, particularly in the areas of regulation and jurisdiction.

The situation is changing, however, with the introduction of both national and international legislation dealing with issues and relating to, inter alia, data protection, privacy, electronic signatures, consumer protection and morality. The authors in this volume provide commentaries on the most recent developments in various jurisdictions, including the approach of the European Union to the problems raised by e-commerce. They discuss the difficulties in relation to jurisdiction arising from the global nature of Internet and the possibilities for dispute resolution between multi national parties to an electronic transaction.

Book Description

How should companies manage reasonable use of private email and Internet searches by employees at work? When might these policies breach an employment contract? Can an employer read staff emails and what is the law on email surveillance?

This new report from IT/ecommerce legal expert Susan Singleton focuses on the employment issue of email and Internet use in the office - arguably the most important and universally applicable part of Internet law.

Know the law and save legal costs. Checklists and real-life examples illustrate how to comply with the Human Rights Act (1998), the Data Protection Act (1998) and the new code of practice for employers, as well as the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and the business practice regulations made under it.

Book Description

At a time when there are still a number of voices calling for the Internet to remain a law-free zone, a whole bundle of conflicts have already emerged, many of which have found their way to lawyers and the courts in a substantial number of different jurisdictions. It surely now cannot be doubted that the Internet, like any other place in the world where people come together and follow their own interests, needs rules to be developed for the handling of such conflicts. Lawyers have already reacted and have created a new area of law -- commonly called "law of the internet" or "cyberlaw". This area, however, is still far from being strictly defined. It touches on many existing areas of law, but at the same time it deals with a wholly new medium -- cybespace -- which itself is subject to constant change and development. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that in a number of cases the predictions as to how this law will look at some selected moment in the future are vague and uncertain. This is particularly true for the commercial side of the Internet, for which the term "E-Commerce" has been coined. So rapid have been the developments of E-Commerce, that it is now frequently said that this is the future of any commerce and that it carries the potential for enormous growth -- at least for the business to business ("B2B") sector.
