The seventh edition of Canadian Business and the Law continues to be the preeminent resource for business students who require an understanding of the integral role the law plays in all business decisions. This product was the first to bring a risk management approach to Canadian business law textbooks and uses this framework throughout the text. The authors explain the basic legal principles and concepts in an engaging and relevant way by contextualizing it to real business scenarios, helping students understand how they can both manage and minimize legal risk when making business decisions.
Features
- *NEW* This new edition introduces Indigenous laws and Aboriginal law as a sustained topic. There are many reasons for this addition, including the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015); the importance of reconciliation through inclusivity and curriculum reform; the relevance of Indigenous and Aboriginal legal matters to education in business schools at large; and the significance of Indigenous laws and Aboriginal law to business on a variety of fronts. Scholars in the areas of Indigenous laws and Aboriginal law were consulted throughout the entire revision process.
- *NEW* Some areas of coverage include Indigenous People and Constitutional Law, Duty to Consult and Accommodate, Offensive Names in Sport, The Nature of Aboriginal Title, and Section 89 of the Indian Act.
- "Business Law in Practice" scenarios open each chapter with a business situation containing both legal and managerial implications. There are also questions posed by this scenario that encourage critical thinking.
- "Business Application of the Law" is a boxed feature found throughout the text that provides examples of the impact of the law on business enterprises.
- Other features include "Technology and the Law," "International Perspective," and "Environmental Perspective"; all provide additional opportunities for information to be contextualized for students.
- "Landmark Case" and "Business and Legislation" features provide an account of pivotal case law and historical legislative initiatives.
- "Ethical Considerations" feature assists students in assessing the sometimes uncomfortable compromises the law sometime forges between competing interests.
- The risk management model is introduced in Part 1 and is applied in every subsequent part of the book.
