Lawyers in Corporate Decision-Making (Hardcover): Robert Eli Rosen Lawyers in Corporate Decision-Making (Hardcover)
Robert Eli Rosen
R1,105 Discovery Miles 11 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A recognized study of the disparate roles that corporate attorneys play in representing and advising their institutional clients. Long passed around and cited by scholars and practicing lawyers as an unpublished manuscript, this book insightfully explores the choices that lawyers, managers and executives make about how lawyers are involved in corporate processes. In the companies studied, Professor Rosen showed that corporate lawyers were repeatedly intertwined in decisions-beyond those regarding mere legal compliance-ranging from finance to production to sales to returns to litigation. But the how, when and consequences of their involvements varied. The book analyzes these variations. It examines relations between inside and outside counsel and the management of the corporate legal function. It locates them in a taut framework of organization theory and institutional behavior, a frame and application since recognized for its cogency and explanatory power.The author, now a senior professor at the University of Miami Law School, calls on attorneys to understand the organizational context of their work. His book repeatedly calls out attorneys who ill serve their clients because they failed as organizational analysts. It has since been recognized by legal, ethical, and sociological theorists as a rich resource of corporate analysis and the divergent roles that lawyers play.The groundbreaking research was conducted at six major manufacturing companies as Rosen interviewed a triad of inside counsel, outside counsel and managers who worked on particular problems. This novel method allowed self-serving statements (especially by the lawyers involved) to be checked and placed in realistic context. More important, because it triangulated how the legal problem was understood, the method brought out how the legal task had been structured. The frames that the lawyers, managers and organization imposed on the legal problems varied widely-and the sources and consequences of these variations are explained.The book's published edition is newly available, but the manuscript has already earned scholarly impact and praise. For example, the Yale Law Journal noted in 1996 that "Rosen's important manuscript is widely cited in recent literature on legal professionalism." It has been cited in articles in the law reviews of Boston University, Indiana, Maryland, and Emory, and the Law & Society Review. At bottom, researchers and pundits on corporate theory and lawyers' roles have already had to account for this telling study, and at last they can readily reference it in a quality published format.

The Learning and Teaching of Calculus - Ideas, Insights and Activities: John Monaghan, Robert Ely, Márcia M.F. Pinto, Mike... The Learning and Teaching of Calculus - Ideas, Insights and Activities
John Monaghan, Robert Ely, Márcia M.F. Pinto, Mike Thomas
R1,105 Discovery Miles 11 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is for people who teach calculus – and especially for people who teach student teachers, who will in turn teach calculus. The calculus considered is elementary calculus of a single variable. The book interweaves ideas for teaching with calculus content and provides a reader-friendly overview of research on learning and teaching calculus along with questions on educational and mathematical discussion topics. Written by a group of international authors with extensive experience in teaching and research on learning/teaching calculus both at the school and university levels, the book offers a variety of approaches to the teaching of calculus so that you can decide the approach for you. Topics covered include A history of calculus and how calculus differs over countries today Making sense of limits and continuity, differentiation, integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus (chapters on these areas form the bulk of the book) The ordering of calculus concepts (should limits come first?) Applications of calculus (including differential equations). The final chapter looks beyond elementary calculus. Recurring themes across chapters include whether to take a limit or a differential/infinitesimal approach to calculus and the use of digital technology in the learning and teaching of calculus. This book is essential reading for mathematics teacher trainers everywhere.

Mexican Philosophy in the 20th Century - Essential Readings (Hardcover): Carlos Alberto Sanchez, Robert Eli Sanchez Jr. Mexican Philosophy in the 20th Century - Essential Readings (Hardcover)
Carlos Alberto Sanchez, Robert Eli Sanchez Jr.
R3,246 Discovery Miles 32 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Sanchez and Sanchez have selected, edited, translated, and introduced some of the most influential texts in Mexican philosophy, which constitute a unique and robust tradition that will challenge and complicate traditional conceptions of philosophy. The texts collected here are organized chronologically and represent a period of Mexican thought and culture that emerged from the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and which culminated in la filosofia de lo mexicano (the philosophy of Mexicanness). Though the selections reflect on a variety of philosophical questions, collectively they represent a growing tendency to take seriously the question of Mexican national identity as a philosophical question-especially given the complexities of Mexico's indigenous and European ancestries, a history of colonialism, and a growing dependency on foreign money and culture. More than an attempt to describe the national character, however, the texts gathered here represent an optimistic period in Mexican philosophy that aimed to affirm Mexican culture and philosophy as a valuable, if not urgent, contribution to universal culture.

Latin American and Latinx Philosophy - A Collaborative Introduction (Paperback): Robert Eli Sanchez Jr. Latin American and Latinx Philosophy - A Collaborative Introduction (Paperback)
Robert Eli Sanchez Jr.
R1,138 Discovery Miles 11 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Latin American and Latinx Philosophy: A Collaborative Introduction is a beginner's guide to canonical texts in Latin American and Latinx philosophy, providing the non-specialist with necessary historical and philosophical context, and demonstrating their contemporary relevance. It is written in jargon-free prose for students and professors who are interested in the subject, but who don't know where to begin. Each of the twelve chapters, written by a leading scholar in the field, examines influential texts that are readily available in English and introduces the reader to a period, topic, movement, or school that taken together provide a broad overview of the history, nature, scope, and value of Latin American and Latinx philosophy. Although this volume is primarily intended for the reader without a background in the Latin American and Latinx tradition, specialists will also benefit from its many novelties, including an introduction to Aztec ethics; a critique of "the Latino threat" narrative; the legacy of Latin American philosophy in the Chicano movement; an overview of Mexican existentialism, Liberation philosophy, and Latin American and Latinx feminisms; a philosophical critique of indigenism; a study of Latinx contributions to the philosophy of immigration; and an examination of the intersection of race and gender in Latinx identity.

"Lawyers in Corporate Decision-Making should be read by everyone interested in how law matters to organizations of all kinds." - Jonathan Simon, Professor of Law, UC Berkeley School of Law "Rob Rosen's study of in house counsel is a deft, subtle dissection of a complex world where nothing is as it quite seems. In interviewing in house counsel, outside counsel, and clients, Rosen captures, in a Rashomon-like way, the moral character of lawyers' work-their choices, their pitches, their claims-by which they justify what they do. We see inside the professional black box." - John Flood Professor of Law and Sociology, University of Westminster, London "Robert Rosen takes us inside large law firms to explore how corporate lawyers advise their clients and how that advice can go wrong. The case studies he describes-including four situations in which the legal advice failed-show how important it is for lawyers to frame the clients' needs appropriately. Rosen's ability to weave together the importance of organizational hierarchy, coordination of responsibility, thoroughness of communication, and business acumen makes this book a 'must-read' for lawyers and law students alike." - Nancy B. Rapoport Gordon Silver Professor of Law, UNLV, and Coauthor of "Enron and Other Corporate Fiascos"
