THE ENTREPRENEUR�S GUIDE TO LAW AND STRATEGY, 5E examines stages of starting a business -- from start-up and growth to public offering, while highlighting legal preparations and pitfalls. Cutting-edge examples show how legally astute entrepreneurs can strategically increase realizable value, deploy resources, and manage risk. The book discusses leaving your job, hiring former coworkers, competing with a former employer, workplace legislation, product liability, and bankruptcy. You examine current issues including today�s workforce in the �gig� economy, �crowdsourcing� capital and social media, computer hacking and identity theft. Legal discussion integrates with core strategic concepts, such as Porter�s Five Forces, the resource-based view of the firm, the value proposition, activities in the value chain and more.
