CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE Authored by three college instructors that teach the business law course in Canada, this ground up business law product has been built specifically for the Canadian college market, or for courses that want concise coverage.
CONCISE COVERAGE Breen covers the fundamental topics of Canadian business law without overwhelming students. Topics such as the court and legal system, tort law, contract law, property law, employment law, and business organizations are introduced and discussed. The idea behind the topic coverage is to expose students to the areas of law that are commonly encountered, not only by those who are engaged in business activities but also by everyone as they negotiate their way through everyday life.
CURRENT COVERAGE Business practices constantly evolve in response to shifts in society through events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, a process that is reflected in the ongoing changes that occur in the laws and rules by which business must operate. Breen provides current coverage of the Canadian legal system with a look at the areas, sources, and types of law in Canada. To make prudent business decisions, businesspeople must be aware of these ongoing changes and the significant implications of the law for their business.
ACTIVE LEARNING EMPHASIS An accessible writing style and engaging pedagogical elements combine to motivate students to actively participate in their learning. Numerous examples, cases, and questions guide students in understanding Canadian business law and provide an opportunity for students to apply the legal concepts and principles. Pedagogy such as “Did You Know”, “Case Study”, and “Legal Scenario” boxes, are integrated throughout. The “For Review” section at the conclusion of each chapter provides questions and activities to help students review and reinforce the material covered.
