The law is everywhere; almost all human activity is affected by it. In the business world, when contemplating a business transaction or a decision, a manager not only must consider the physical, financial, personnel, and managerial aspects of a decision, but also its legal ramifications.

The main purpose of Legal Challenges for the Global Manager and Entrepreneur is to introduce the reader to the fundamental principles of the laws regulating business, as well as their practical application in a modern global business and entrepreneurial environment.

The book approaches the vast subject of the laws governing global business in the following ways: first, the authors discuss certain foundational legal notions and principles pertaining to global business, such as the definition and nature of the law and the concept of jurisdiction; next, the authors examine basic legal business law areas, such as contract and tort law; and finally, a study of essential regulatory legal fields, such as securities and antitrust law, is presented.
