How the law can help you
achieve business goals
With today's expanding
globalization, technology, and entrepreneurship, the law has become an enabler that allows
firms to globalize, develop entrepreneurial ventures, create a customer-focused company,
and create corporate values. This tenth book in the University of Michigan Business School
series reveals the synchronicity between business objectives and legal objectives and
shows how the law can help create competitive advantage for a company. Numerous examples
from business and research reveal how to manage legal resources to gain competitive
advantage in a cost-effective manner, reframe legal problems as business problems, and use
legal frameworks to create both values and value for the company. The book includes two
practical management tools that can be used to help deal with a variety of stakeholders
and legal concerns.
