Ethical Points Questions: Brief ethical questions appear in the margins. These questions explore the variety of ethical issues that may arise in business situations. "Ethical Points" highlight pertinent ethical issues, show the relationships between law and ethics, and serve as a basis for class discussion. * Ethics in Practice: Each text Part ends with an "Ethics in Practice" hypothetical business situation, which asks students to consider the ethical implications. "Ethics in Practice" reinforces the importance of ethical responsibility in today"s climate of corporate scandal and recrimination. * Real-World Cases: Every case example, problem, and summary is from an actual U.S. court case. The case summaries in each chapter are very brief, easy-to-understand applications of the concepts, and are carefully chosen to illustrate practical situations the typical student audience for this text can easily relate to or in which they could potentially see themselves in everyday life or on the job. * Preview Cases: Every chapter begins with a "Preview Case" to capture student interest and introduce the issues to be discussed. Each "Preview Case" ends with a question that is answered in the boxed feature, called "Preview Case Revisited," when that topic appears in the chapter sequence. * Learning Objectives. Chapters are unified by "Learning Objectives." These provide an integrated learning system that helps students master the material and helps instructors match content to specific learning outcomes. Margin icons indicate where "Learning Objectives" outlined at the beginning of each chapter are first discussed within the body of the chapter, and appear again with the end-of-chapter case problems to explicitly tie assignment material together with the appropriate concept from the chapter.
