Addresses law and employment decisions with a management perspective. This text explains how to approach and manage legal employment decisions, and outlines the specific legal framework in which management decisions are made.
Bennett-Alexander and Hartman's Employment Law for Business, addresses law and employment decisions from a managerial perspective. It is intended to instruct students on how to manage effectively and efficiently with full comprehension of the legal ramifications of their decisions. Students are shown how to analyze employment law facts using concrete examples of management-related legal dilemmas that do not present clear-cut solutions. The methods of arriving at resolutions are emphasized, so that when the facts of the workplace problem are not quite the same, the student can still reach a good decision based on the legal considerations required by law, which remain relevant.
This is the first legal environment text to take diversity implications into consideration as a normal and necessary part of business decisions. It offers a view of the legal environment of business from the broader perspective of not only the law and its theory, but also how it works in practice taking into consideration the factors of ethics and diversity. The goal of this text is to equip students for the legal, ethical, and diversity implications of the business world they will move into, so that their decisions do not result in surprising, expensive, protracted, and embarrassing litigation that could have easily been avoided.
Using two typical college students, Bill and Ann, as examples, this textbook applies legal concepts to practical business situations, with extensive coverage of employment and labor law, and the legal steps necessary to start a business.
In the fog of a Paris dawn in 1832, variste Galois, the 20-year-old founder of modern algebra, was shot and killed in a duel. That gunshot, suggests Amir Alexander, marked the end of one era in mathematics and the beginning of another. Arguing that not even the purest mathematics can be separated from its cultural background, Alexander shows how popular stories about mathematicians are really morality tales about their craft as it relates to the world. In the eighteenth century, Alexander says, mathematicians were idealized as child-like, eternally curious, and uniquely suited to reveal the hidden harmonies of the world. But in the nineteenth century, brilliant mathematicians like Galois b...

Like Courtney, Katie believes she's living a fairytale life that was tailor-made just for her, starting with the picture-perfect dentist she married. However, the handsome, successful doctor is nothing more than a calculated, clever fraud that said "I do" one too many times. Matching canary yellow diamond rings, the same Range Rover, and two expensive brick homes purchased in the same neighborhood were all part of the doctor's double life. Dr. Reynolds sold Katie and Courtney a dream that didn't belong to either of them—a dream he'll confiscate without warning in an ending, not even the wives could see coming…
