Business Law

This resource gives students a clear method for recognizing, reasoning through, and resolving ethical problems in business. Starting with ethical principles, argument-building, and a first case study (Masterpiece Cakeshop), it builds a practical framework that students then apply across real-world cases. Chapters cover ethical theories, economic and political systems, corporate responsibility, employee rights, hiring and firing, marketing, accounting and finance, political influence, the environment and sustainability, and globalization. By the end, students can analyze ethical dilemmas with sound reasoning and make defensible decisions in their future careers.

This resource introduces students to the legal environment governing businesses, government, and consumers, covering the U.S. court system, torts and crimes, contracts, business organizations, antitrust, property, securities regulation, consumer and environmental protections, and employment and labor law. Students gain the tools to critically examine legal issues and apply ethical and legal practices to real business situations, with recent updates adding AI-focused content that helps students identify, interpret, and ethically apply AI in the employment law context.
