Description:
Now there is a casebook with an innovative approach that covers the planning, structure, and implementation of the private international business transactions that characterize transnational commerce in the modern world. Internal Business Transactions: Problems, Cases, and Materials is a concise teaching tool that will prepare students for future work in the international business law arena.
The casebook addresses the four principal channels of modern international commerce:
trade in goods
trade in services
transfer of technology and knowledge
foreign direct investment and focuses on transnational business and commercial transactions involving private entities or between private entities and governmental organizations acting in a commercial capacity. The casebook is distinctly realistic and practical, while also covering important policy and ethical issues:

devotes equal coverage to developed and developing nations
includes a chapter on the social obligations of multinational enterprises, an area of growing importance, and materials on the ethical, political, and cultural issues facing modern international transactions lawyers
provides extensive coverage of intellectual property
uses frequent short problems to serve as a basis for classroom discussion
provides up-to-date cases plus textual explanations and analysis written by the authors, with less reliance on excerpts from law review articles, treaties, and other secondary sources
maintaines a manageable length to avoid overwhelming students and to maximize teaching flexibility
provides briefs of the principal cases; answers to every question asked in the text; and answers, discussion, and analysis of every problem in the text in their detailed Teacher's Manual
