Inhaltsangabe

THE ENTREPRENEUR'S GUIDE TO BUSINESS LAW, 5E examines the stages of starting a business - from leaving a current employer to choice of entity, funding and growth to an initial public offering - while highlighting legal and strategic decisions. Business Insider calls THE ENTREPRENEUR'S GUIDE "perhaps the most useful business book you can ever read" and includes it among twenty-five must-read books for entrepreneurs. Students increase their legal literacy as they learn to choose the form of business entity, structure ownership, raise money, handle operational liabilities, practice strategic compliance, protect intellectual property, deal with creditors, go global, buy and sell a business, and go public. Students examine current issues, including classifying workers as independent contractors or employees, cybersecurity, privacy in transferring data between the United States and European Union, rules regarding "crowdfunding," and provisions for "mini-IPOs."

Business Insider calls The ENTREPRENEUR'S GUIDE "perhaps the most useful business book you can ever read" and lists it among twenty-five must-read books for entrepreneurs. THE ENTREPRENEUR'S GUIDE TO LAW AND STRATEGY, 5E examines stages of starting a business -- from start-up and growth to public offering, while highlighting legal preparations and pitfalls. Cutting-edge examples show how legally astute entrepreneurs can strategically increase realizable value, deploy resources, and manage risk. The book discusses leaving your job, hiring former coworkers, competing with a former employer, workplace legislation, product liability, and bankruptcy. You examine current issues including today's workforce in the "gig" economy, "crowdsourcing" capital and social media, computer hacking and identity theft. Legal discussion integrates with core strategic concepts, such as Porter's Five Forces, the resource-based view of the firm, the value proposition, activities in the value chain and more.
