A Reader on The Law of the Business Enterprise: Selected Essays (Oxford Readings in Socio-Legal Studies)

The study of company law is often seen as a tedious journey through complex statutes, enlivened only by occasional glimpses of judicial activity. By contrast, the real activities of firms, both small and large, family firms and multi-nationals, are dynamic and fast-changing. Company lawyerswriting in the traditional texts tend to overlook the real nature of corporate activity and the 'rules' fail to link the ways in which companies behave in pursuit of their economic goals. Despite the growth during the last 30 years of research into company law 'in action', the textbooks have notchanged. In this, the first book of its kind to be published in the UK, the author draws together the best and most interesting recent research into companies, thus enabling students to gain a better and more profound understanding of company law as it affects modern corporations.Wheeler, Sally is the author of 'A Reader on The Law of the Business Enterprise: Selected Essays (Oxford Readings in Socio-Legal Studies)', published 1995 under ISBN 9780198763468 and ISBN 0198763468.
