Practical and readable
I've been a CEO for 17 years, and recently became involved with another startup company. Although there was an attorney on the board, I wasn't certain that the corporate form that had been selected was optimal. This book was recommended by the Stanford Center for Entrepreneurship as a great resource, so I picked it up. It has turned out to be very valuable. After reading the chapter on corporate form we switched from an LLC to a C Corp. I found myself advising some pretty smart lawyers on this issue.

slow delivery, broken and dirty book!
The seller sold me a broken and dirty book which was claimed as a new one through a very slow shipping method.

An excellent book of Business Law
I bought this book a week ago. I am a foreign-educated lawyer and I havedecided to compare Business Law of my country with Business Law in USA(learned at the US colleges and universities). I was pleasently suprisedand also very satisfied with this buy. I appreciate very much the completecoverage of business law topics - especially integration of ethics, socialresponsibility, economics, historic issues into the presentation ofbusiness law topics as well as international topics. The book is writtenusing clear language without problems of understanding as well as fornon-native English readers.It was a perfect idea to include TOTALAWCD-ROM which provides access to 30 updated acts and statutes. I appreciateit. I would say the book worth its price and I highly recommend it toeverybody who is in any connection with business law. I thank the authorfor unbelievable excellent work on this third edition of Contemporarybusiness law book. ... Read more

Emergence of TRIPS
The purpose of the book is to explain the emergence of a more ambitious global intellectual property regime in the form of the TRIPS (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights) agreement - one of several agreements to emerge from the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations.The main argument is that TRIPS emerged primarily as a result of good organization and transnational consensus building on the part of a small group of leaders of multinational corporations called the Intellectual Property Committee (IPC), and the coincidence of the perceived interests of that group with key governments such as that of the United States.In the last chapter, Susan Sell shows how these circumstances did not exist for other Uruguay Round agreements and that, as a result, those agreements were weaker.She also argues that the TRIPS agreement represents an overly aggressive interpretation of intellectual property rights to the advantage of multinational corporations and that a political backlash against this is already underway.
Brilliant study of the politics of intellectual property
This is a very important and highly topical book, which shows in an accessible and persuasive manner how big business has played a decisive role in guiding the international regulation of intellectual property protection. It should be read not only by scholars and students of international politics, but by all those interested in how intellectual property relates to and impacts on international trade, the global expansion of the US entertainment, software and drug industries, and also the health needs of people in developing countries including those suffering from HIV/AIDS. politics of TRIPS
This book provides a fascinating perspective on the politics underlying the TRIPS Agreement.It demonstrates the unique power that strong, well financed interest groups possess when legislative obligations are made at the international level.Anyone working specifically on international intellectual property issues would do well to read this book. ...

An extraordinary insight into law firm marketing process
In a realm of law firm marketing literature that so often fails to understand the unique qualities of the legal profession and how lawyers relate to their markets, this book goes more deeply and intelligently into the mindset of corporations and how they purchase legal services. Where most marketing books go into the mechanics of the marketing process and miss the point about the subtleties of the process, Smith goes to the core of the process with a kind of sophistication rarely seen in law firm marketing literature. This book is essential to every law firm that wants to understand its markets and how people buy their services. ... Read more

From a Former Student: This is the Model of all Casebooks.
In what generally can be categorized as unreadable, dense, unorganized and without clear themes, Professor Burton's textbook for law students is a clear aberration.Professor Burton presents contract law in a clearoutline fashion, divided into different and inciteful principles.Caseswithin each principle clearly present individual "trees" and inthe end, the reader comes out with a very clear and workable picture of the"forest."Professor Burton does not "hide the ball" inthe form of ongoing, mindless and unreadable "Notes andQuestions." negative
I have studied contract law for 35 years and have never read such a pieceof absolute garbage.Burton obviously spent little time writing this one. ... Read more

Three Growing Risks and How to Address Them
America loves risk-taking CEOs, but when such behavior crosses over to boardrooms it could have massive consequences because of the growing scale of businesses and society's greater dependence on equity markets. Icarus in the Boardroom: The Fundamental Flaws in Corporate America and Where They Came From, by David Skeel draws on Greek mythology to present a candid warning aimed at corporate directors and anyone concerned with our economic future.
Minor Masterpiece
This book is a minor masterpiece of legal/business history.In slightly more than 200 pages, David Skeel tells the story of American CEOs who tried to boost profits and share prices by taking huge gambles with corporate assets.Although the media and public idolize larger-than-life CEOs, Skeel shows how throwing the dice can often result in ruin for corporations and their employees and shareholders.His book ranges from 19th century railroad bankruptcies to the rise and fall of Enron, tying together economic history, financial theory, business law, and the politics of regulation.It's sophisticated but breezily written.I'd give it six stars if I could. ...
