Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective examines the intersection, and impact, of the changing nature of business, challenges presented by increasing globalization, and the expanding impact of technology with a renewed emphasis on ethical decision making. These areas of study include constitutional law, international perspectives, contracts, business associations (partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies), antitrust law, employment law and discrimination, and intellectual property (patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets). The authors have purposefully emphasized aspects of the legal environment of business that are especially relevant for future business managers. Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective provides managers with a framework in which they will identify, consider, and then solve practical problems in a business environment in which legal and regulatory issues have attained prominence.Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective presents readings, materials, and case decisions that provide a basis for understanding the unique "legal vocabulary," and identifying and analyzing critical legal principles and concepts. The cases contained in this volume have been carefully selected and edited and contain questions designed to enable students to gain insights which reflect their importance in the development of the law as it relates to managerial functions. Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective addresses selected traditional business law topics as well as those that are considered more broadly as the legal environment of business. In addition, topical ethical considerations related to the chapter materials are included. These considerations are designed to sharpen our students' appreciation for the role that ethics will play in the decision making process.

Legal Concepts for Facility Managers Facility management – as any profession encompassing multiple disciplines and integrating technology, people and physical space – is not only complicated but fraught with occasions to be exposed to various legal liabilities. Successful facility managers need the ability to manage risk well. They must understand the various ways the built environment can malfunction, anticipate the most likely problems and protect the owner’s interest in such a way that the building can be safe for occupants yet productive for business purposes. The Facility Manager must therefore know the major tenets of risk avoidance, including knowledge of possible legal obstacles. Legal Concepts for Facility Managers informs facility managers of their legal responsibilities and helps them avoid unnecessary exposure to liability. Each major legal theory is explained and illustrated with charts or case histories. Chapter discussion questions help students recall salient information and are also intended to be used as homework assignments or prompts for classroom discussions. As with any legal textbook expressly written for professionals who are not in the practice of law, the objective of this book is to inform students about their legal responsibilities. This text is not intended for students preparing to practice the law. It can be used in any course that teaches built environment professionals how to avoid unnecessary exposure to legal liability.

In 2017 four rivers in Aotearoa New Zealand, India, and Colombia were given the status of legal persons, and there was a recent attempt to extend these rights to the Colorado River in the USA. Understanding the implications of creating legal rights for rivers is an urgent challenge for both water resource management and environmental law. Giving rivers legal rights means the law can see rivers as legal persons, thus creating new legal rights which can then be enforced. When rivers are legally people, does that encourage collaboration and partnership between humans and rivers, or establish rivers as another competitor for scarce resources? To assess what it means to give rivers legal rights and legal personality, this book examines the form and function of environmental water managers (EWMs). These organisations have legal personality, and have been active in water resource management for over two decades. EWMs operate by acquiring water rights from irrigators in rivers where there is insufficient water to maintain ecological health. EWMs can compete with farmers for access to water, but they can also strengthen collaboration between traditionally divergent users of the aquatic environment, such as environmentalists, recreational fishers, hunters, farmers, and hydropower. This book explores how EWMs use the opportunities created by giving nature legal rights, such as the ability to participate in markets, enter contracts, hold property, and enforce those rights in court. However, examination of the EWMs unearths a crucial and unexpected paradox: giving legal rights to nature may increase its legal power, but in doing so it can weaken community support for protecting the environment in the first place. The book develops a new conceptual framework to identify the multiple constructions of the environment in law, and how these constructions can interact to generate these unexpected outcomes. It explores EWMs in the USA and Australia as examples, and assesses the implications of creating legal rights for rivers for water governance. Lessons from the EWMs, as well as early lessons from the new ‘river persons,’ show how to use the law to improve river protection and how to begin to mitigate the problems of the paradox.
