Features: This book is tailor-made for business managers and entrepreneurs. When compiling this book, the authors fully considered the potential legal issues that businesses may encounter in their actual operations and took into account that most managers are not legal professionals. Therefore, the book is designed with the following features in mind:
(1) In terms of structure, it does not aim for completeness but focuses on practicality and applicability. The book is divided into four parts: Intellectual Property and Anti-Unfair Competition. This section primarily addresses common and prominent issues in daily business management, such as trademarks, domain names, business names, and trade secret protection. The second part is Investment Rights. This section covers legal issues businesses may face in areas such as capital contribution, share transfers, joint ventures, and profit distribution. The third part is Debt Disputes, Debt Preservation, and Recovery. This section involves legal issues arising from poor management, such as creditor-debtor disputes, debt preservation and recovery during bankruptcy, and various new types of contract disputes. The fourth part is Rights Disputes Between Enterprises and Government, Consumers, and Laborers. Businesses interact with consumers, laborers, and the government almost every day. Handling these relationships is a complex management art and involves numerous legal issues. From this section, businesses can learn a lot of legal knowledge and the legal skills to address these issues.
(2) It highlights new issues and legal knowledge. The cases selected in this book are typical cases being tried in courts recently. They reflect some new legal issues faced by businesses. To help readers fully understand the relevant legal knowledge, the authors expand and analyze the legal concepts through columns and related links, introducing their latest developments. Combined with regulations, this forms a relatively comprehensive legal knowledge system.
(3) It emphasizes readability. The cases in this book are not just descriptions of legal relationships but also extract the disputes and legal focal points from each case during the first and second instance trials. The authors focus on explaining the reasoning process of the court in determining facts and applying the law, so that readers can understand the true meaning of each legal point and accurately grasp the relevant legal systems and knowledge from the court's rulings on disputed laws.
(4) It emphasizes the internal mechanisms of legal deduction in case law rather than the external appearance of the cases. Due to the vast and complex legal system, neither business managers nor even legal professionals can grasp the entire legal knowledge system through a limited number of cases. The key lies in businesses having legal awareness and being aware of potential legal issues and risks in their decisions and actions. Therefore, after each case, the authors provide comments, abstracting the legal highlights and lessons to be learned from the cases, so that readers can further reflect on how to apply the law and prevent legal risks.
This book is primarily intended for business managers and MBA students but will also be helpful for anyone interested in or studying law.
