Becoming a Strategic Leader or Economic Analysis of Law

Becoming a Strategic Leader: Your Role in Your Organization's Enduring Success: The Center for Creative Leadership

Author: Katherine M Beatty

Today’s organizations face difficult challenges in order to remain competitive—the quickening pace of change, increasing uncertainty, growing ambiguity, and complexity. To meet these challenges, organizations must broaden the scope of leadership responsibility for strategic leadership and engage more people in the process of leadership. In Becoming a Strategic Leader Rich Hughes and Kate Beatty from the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) offer executives and managers a handbook for implementing a strategic leadership process that reaches leaders at all levels of organizations. Based on CCL’s  successful Developing the Strategic Leader Program, this book outlines the framework of strategic leadership and contains practical suggestions on how to develop the individual, team, and organizational skills needed for institutions to become more adaptable, flexible, and resilient. The authors also show how individual managers can exercise e ffective strategic leadership through their distinctive and systemic approach—thinking, acting, and influencing.

Economic Analysis of Law

Author: Richard A Posner

The edition of Judge Posner's highly—regarded casebook builds on its strengths to transmit a clear and understandable economic analysis of legal rules and institutions:

superb authorship——Judge Posner is not only one of the nation's most respected legal thinkers, but also one of the best casebook writers

uniquely broad topical coverage —— no other book addresses as many legal subjects; Posner covers almost the whole legal system

sensible organization——based on legal, rather than economic, concepts

requires no prior study of economics —— written expressly for law students, this book assumes no familiarity with specific economic or mathematical principles. Fifth Edition topical coverage incluses:

affirmative action

substantial performance

social norms

the punishment of wealth

criminals to commerce.

These provocative topics stimulate lively class discussion as they expose students to the process of economic analysis.

The book progresses logically from basic to more sophisticated issues:

Law and Economics: An Introduction

The Common Law

Public Regulation of the Market

The Law of Business Organizations and Financial Markets

Law and the Distribution of Income and Wealth

The Legal Process

The Constitution and the Federal System.
