This book introduces law in the context of international business.
The basics of law are explored using a clear comparative
methodology. International and regional economic institutions are
discussed, next to the fundaments of private law. These include
contract law, liability law, labour law, company law, privacy law,
intellectual property law and international private law. The book
goes beyond the usual focus on Western legal systems and uses
examples from all over the world to provide students with
comprehensive knowledge of business law. It is set up rather
broadly, so that it can be used by teachers throughout their entire
curriculum. Each chapter ends with a clear summary, and practice
questions. Due to its colourful cases, this book is accessible and
fun to read.

Ethics in business is not a new topic and has been intensely
discussed since the emergence of the so-called limited companies.
However, privatization, technological and digital innovation,
changes in moral perception, economic and financial crises and
globalization stir a more recent debate on how companies should
behave in our societies. This book starts from the position that
ethics in business should imply an open debate on norms and values,
using a sound methodology to get there. Ethics should cross
borders: not only the borders of a country, but also the borders of
someone's moral imagination. Ethics should not only be about
harmony but also about conflict (and how to deal with that). Ethics
should be realistic and well substantiated by academic research.
Ethics should be used to understand the complexity of the world,
and the challenges companies struggle with on various levels.
Therefore, this book is composed of three parts in which ethics is
discussed at different levels. In part one we discuss ethics at the
level of the individual. In part two we discuss ethics and
business. In the third part, ethics is discussed in the context of
a globalized world. In each chapter, we discuss the ethical
complications of each topic from various - and preferably opposing
- perspectives. Each perspective is methodologically and
academically substantiated. Each chapter ends with an extensive
literature list in which the original sources are listed for
further reading. Furthermore, at the end of each chapter, a summary
is written in which the most important definitions and viewpoints
are highlighted. The frequent use of colorful and bold examples
make this an accessible read for bachelor and master students at
business schools and professionals in international business.
