Features: This book is tailor-made for business managers. 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 arrangement and writing of the book highlight the following characteristics:
(1) In terms of structure, it does not pursue completeness but focuses on practicality and usability. The book is divided into four parts: Intellectual Property and Anti-Unfair Competition. This part primarily addresses issues such as trademarks, domain names, business names, and trade secret protection that businesses frequently encounter in their daily management. The second part is the Investment Rights section. This part mainly covers the legal issues businesses may face in areas such as capital contribution, equity transfer, cooperative operations, and profit distribution. The third part is the Debt Disputes and Debt Preservation and Recovery section. This part involves legal issues such as creditor-debtor disputes arising from poor management, debt preservation and recovery during bankruptcy proceedings, and various new types of contract disputes. The fourth part is the 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 part, businesses can learn a lot of legal knowledge and the legal skills to address these issues.
(2) It highlights new issues and new 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. At the same time, to enable readers to fully understand the relevant legal knowledge, the authors expand and analyze the legal knowledge through columns and related links, introduce the latest developments, and combine them with regulations to form a relatively comprehensive legal knowledge system.
(3) It emphasizes readability. The cases in this book are not simply descriptions of legal relationships but rather extract the disputes and legal focal points from each case during the first and second instance trials. The book also focuses 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 from the court's rulings on disputed laws and accurately grasp the relevant legal systems and knowledge.
(4) It emphasizes the intrinsic mechanism 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 the legal awareness of business operators, who must always be aware of the potential legal issues and risks involved in their decisions and actions. Therefore, after each case, the authors provide an analysis, extracting 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 to anyone interested in law or studying law.
