Description
Business Organizations: A Contemporary Approach 5th Edition Frank Partnoy ISBN 9798317700256
Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in business law, this popular and engaging casebook provides a modern framework for teaching Business Associations and Corporations. Combining doctrinal rigor with accessibility, it offers comprehensive coverage of core organizational forms, including agency, partnerships, and limited liability companies, while also introducing students to essential concepts in accounting, valuation, and capital structure.
The book devotes thoughtful and balanced attention to the most important debates in contemporary corporate law, including the evolving discussion surrounding corporate purpose and stakeholder governance. Chapters addressing fiduciary duties, controlling shareholders, shareholder information rights, and mergers and acquisitions have been extensively revised to incorporate recent Delaware statutory amendments, significant judicial decisions, updates to the Model Business Corporation Act, and the increasing competition among states to attract corporate incorporations.
Designed to promote active learning and classroom engagement, the text features clear explanatory breakout boxes, practical examples, and carefully crafted discussion questions that encourage students to connect legal doctrine with real-world business issues and policy considerations.
The fifth edition incorporates the latest business law developments. It features recent Delaware and federal judicial decisions; statutory and doctrinal developments in fiduciary duties, controlling shareholders, information rights, M&A, and more. The materials are organized so that professors can customize coverage to fit their preferences.

Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
