Focusing on today’s complex business setting, The Legal and Ethical Environment of Business, Fourth Edition, by Ferrera, Alexander, Kirschner, Wiggins, and Darrow offers a comprehensive survey of topics affecting the legal environment of business today. By providing students with a thorough understanding of the legal and ethical issues they will face in their careers, this text is designed to prepare students to work within modern industry norms, practices, and legal and regulatory frameworks. Ethics coverage is integrated and featured throughout, ensuring the reader is well-informed and knowledgeable about both the legal and ethical aspects of business. In addition, ethical theory is interwoven with practical applications using novel pedagogical tools, such as simulated manager's meetings, to promote thoughtful inquiry and highlight the interplay between ethics and law.

Covering classical ethicists and philosophers as well as non-traditional voices, such as sub-Saharan African Ubuntu philosophy, this text extends and broadens students’ thinking about ethical frameworks. Chapters include questions and sidebar features that address how diversity, equity, and inclusion issues relate to the topic at hand.

The book's international focus ensures students are well-prepared for the global business environment. It covers critical topics in international business law such as key provisions of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods, updates to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and the new provision added to the UCC (Article 12).
