Business Law 6e James Marson

Written with business students in mind, Business Law puts the law into a context that they can grasp easily. Case studies open each chapter and readers are regularly asked to consider how the content applies to routine business problems so that they fully engage with the topics, understand, and can approach the law independently with confidence.

Learning outcomes are presented at the start of chapters to provide students with a roadmap of the content ahead while case facts and their impact are integrated in the chapters to help students visualize the course of events and understand their importance
Chapters close with a summary of the core content covered, serving as a helpful recap and useful revision aid
Further reading suggestions guide students who want to deepen their knowledge, directing them to well maintained and trusted websites, Twitter feeds, and YouTube channels in addition to suitable books and articles
Sample problem and essay questions can be found at the end of each chapter, providing students with an opportunity to test their understanding and practise for assessments. Indicative answers can be found with the online resources accompanying this book
The first chapter introduces why it is important for business students to understand legal concepts and provides helpful tips on how to approach assessments, including an example problem question with a model answer
