Product Description
This new hybrid book integrates both e-commerce and traditional legal environment issues, serving as a bridge between the two by covering the legal environment of business and its extensions into e-commerce. The text fulfills the need for greater understanding of the role of law, regulation, and public policy. A major focus is on how existing laws will accommodate the transition and on what issues new perspectives are needed from legislation, regulation, judicial interpretation, private contracting, industry self-regulation and public policy.

Reader ReviewsThis is a great introduction to Business Law with lots of interesting case studies. However, the long chapters make this book hard to wade through. The book covers quite a lot, but this wide coverage dilutes the focus on the key topics of each chapter. I was confused about the tie with "e-Business". It seems that this is just an older Business Law book with a few added sections pertaining to the internet. The title of this book is definitely misleading; the majority of this book does not focus on "e-Business". Overall the book has a lot of good content; however, professional guidance (ie: a good professor) in required to get any real benefit. While I still use this book as a reference, I would not recommend using this book for a class.
