Von der hinteren Coverseite

Since the first edition of this book was published in 1995, significant changes have taken place in the world of business.

• The terms "home-based business" and "telecommuting" have become commonplace.
• The Internet has made stunning amounts of information available to anyone able to operate a computer.
• Limited liability company statutes have been created in every state
• The Internal Revenue Code has been amended to provide among other things, changes in Subchapter S provisions for small corporations

Two things have not changed, and probably never will: contracts and collections. While this volume can stand alone, combining it with the authors' Introduction to Contracts and Barbara Kirby's Red and Black will give the reader a firm grounding in the basic principles of business law.
