Introduction To Business Organization

Business Organizations: Practice, Theory and Emerging Challenges, 2nd Edition is more than just a comprehensive update to Business Organizations: Principles, Policies, and Practice. It provides a detailed discussion of the fundamentals that shape this area of law, and reviews important debates surrounding the nature of business organizations and the role they play in Canadian society. Through this approach, this casebook aims to enhance the reader?s understanding of business organizations, and the ways in which legal and policy decisions impact how they function. In addition to substantial revisions and updates, this edition features entirely new material. Most notably, the text now includes chapters that engage emerging issues related to Indigenous peoples, which in part act as a response to the calls to action from the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. This edition also features a new chapter on social enterprises and the increased momentum of social entrepreneurship. Drawing on the perspectives of leading Canadian business scholars and commentators, this text is designed to be an accessible classroom and research resource. It is a must-have addition to the faculty, firm, or private library of anyone interested in the various dimensions of the law of business organizations.

Excerpt from Introduction to Business Organization This volume is an outgrowth of a course of lectures on Business Organization and Management delivered at the University of Wisconsin in connection with the courses in Commerce. There is no single volume covering modern business activity from the point of view of organization. It is, however, true that occasional articles in trade magazines and even treatises covering special phases of business have recently come from the press. The growth of this literature indicates a larger interest in the systematic study of business institutions and operations. The business man is fast realizing the practical helpfulness of these studies. The best firms are establishing trade and technical libraries and schools of instruction, not only for the training of their employees, but also for constant consultation in connection with office and factory problems. Greater attention is given to-day to business efficiency, and several reasons have made this necessary, among the more important of which are business waste and misdirection. Every business man, although he may deny that there is a science of business, will admit that there is a proper way of organizing his business.
