Summary: Excellent text for managers
Comment: Although not designed as a text, I am requiring my business students to read this book. Professor Siedel has put legal issues into a business framework instead of the conventional "here's a summary of the rules" approach. This is how business law should be taught.

Rating: 4
Summary: Useful Guide for Managers Confronting Legal Constraints
Comment: USING is a straight-forward, clearly written guide for managers who must consider legal constraints. Siedel presents a four point Manager's Legal Plan as a device for anticipating potential legal problems and then developing a plan of action in response. The unique value of this book is the manner in which it integrates a business perspective into legal risk analysis. Too often, books of this sort stick solely to a public policy analysis or a mind numbing survey of legal principles. Siedel uses interesting cses and examples to make his points. Some of his heuristics such as Fight versus Flight will stick in the minds of managers. Recommended for managers and MBA students.

Summary: A complete disappointment
Comment: The book is a complete disappointment - it is essentially a re-hash of common sense and does not provide anything constructive. I recommend talking to a good lawyer to develop a competitive advantage using the law.
