Winning Legally

What every manager must know about the law both to steer clear of trouble and to maximise business opportunities. At any moment, employees at any level of the corporate hierarchy can put an entire organisation at risk by misunderstanding, ignoring, or flouting the law. Enron, WorldCom and other fallen giants are glaring reminders of the consequences of this fact. But what most managers fail to recognise is that the law is about much more than compliance. This book shows how managers can use the legal system as a powerful strategic tool for maximising corporate value, marshalling human and capital resources and managing risk.What every manager must know about the law both to steer clear of trouble and to maximise business opportunities.
