Product Description Business Law 10/e has provided students with a comprehensive, yet concise treatment of the legal issues of fundamental importance to business students and the business profession.
The cases, which have always been a strong feature, are edited and re-written by the authors, who divide the material into three categories: facts, issues, decisions. The authors, Barnes, Dworkin, and Richards, choose cases that are appropriate to explain precedent and history as well as include “hot topic” cases that relate to current events. In addition to case applications, the authors use such techniques as content summaries to apply concepts to practice. Effective managers and employees must develop knowledge of both law and business because people involved in business also are involved in, and greatly affected by, the laws concerning business.

Current, Thorough, and User-Friendly March 26, 2002 Mack_T_Knife (USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In my opinion, this is the finest business law textbook on the market. It contains well-edited cases for discussion, cogent analysis of policy and legal history, and easy-to-read flowcharts that help students go through the legal reasoning steps.It is extremely user friendly to both the lay student and instructor. In addition to the core contract law chapters, it contains chapters summarizing all the main substantive areas of law (and even contains a chapter on the new field of Cyberlaw). The supporting instructor materials and test bank are excellent. I highly recommend this text. It is well worth the price. The authors are professors from the Indiana University School of Business, one of the top 5 business schools in the world.
Very Impressed and Happy September 13, 2008 A. Patterson I was very surprised when I received my textbook in the mail. Naturally it was packaged professionally however, it was actually better than its description. It was described as being used however, it shows no sign of use; as a matter of fact the binding was still intact. Not only did the book appear brand new, I can not do nothing but jump for joy over the price. I literally paid $50 less than what my school store was selling the textbook for. I was panicking at first because of the price in the school until a friend of mine recommended me checking Amazon.com. I surfed the net found Amazon to be the cheapest at the time of purchase. Thank you Amazon.com.
Excellent Seller June 6, 2009 Victoria M (Chesapeake, VA, USA) I am very pleased with the item I received. It arrived brand new, the condition in which the seller claimed.
This seller is definitely dependable, based on my experience!
Law for Business October 22, 2009 Addison Josiphine I gave this product a 5 start rating because it is just as the seller said it would be, and it was in good condition.
Good overview of business law October 8, 2002 jinwen (CA) 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I realize that many of you buying this book won't have a choice about it--it's probably required for a class you are taking and don't much care how good or bad the book it because you need it regardless. However, for those of you who do have a choice:This textbook has 9 Parts (Intro to law, Contracts, Sales, Agency and Employment, Business Organizations, Property, Commerial Paper, Credit Transactions, Government Regulation) with a total of 48 chapters. The format of the book, along with the firgures and tables, makes the book easy to read. When applicable, there is a case relating the law described to a real-world situation or a box with ethical considerations and questions. Additionally, the problems at the end of each chapter explore the issues and make students think of both sides of the arguement. However, in certain areas when describing the law, the text can be vague. The authors could do better making it clear when and how a law is applicable. There are many times when doing the problems where I would look up the case or the issues involved online to get a complete picture. Overall, a good textbook, especially with supplemental material to be given during lecture.
