Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In performing business negotiations, many of us find ourselves on shifting ground. Is it really tenable to call your lawyers every time you make a purchase or forge a new contract? And when something goes wrong, what resources do you have to fall back on? In this breakthrough piece of business nonfiction, author Linda Frazer proposes a revolutionary new way of how private transnational business contracts might be negotiated. Current business law follows an outdated seventeenth-century model that simply does not work for the fast-paced, dynamic contemporary world of international business. But what if we were to implement a system with checks and balances as adaptable and quick-moving as the business negotiations they apply to? Frazer takes her time building her case for this, laying out the common pitfalls faced in making modern-day contracts, both formal and informal. She then carefully lays out her proposed remedy, a thorough and well-considered framework that avoids these common missteps, offering a robust alternative in which both parties to an agreement can define their rights and obligations securely, transparently, and dynamically. This way, potential missteps can be handled expeditiously—that is, when they haven’t been avoided altogether. This book is sure to make an invaluable addition to the world of business literature—and to the shelves of any reader interested in alternative methods of pursuing negotiations in the realm of private transnational business.
