Corporate Reorganization and Bankruptcy: Legal and Financial Materials (University Casebook)

Book Description

This coursebook takes a finance-oriented approach to corporate bankruptcy and can be used either in basic Bankruptcy courses (that do not attend to individual bankruptcy) or in advanced Bankruptcy courses. The student will learn not only the major elements of corporate reorganization in chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, but also the major facets of bankruptcy that influence financing transactions. The hidden message behind these materials is how to understand complex financial deal-making and how to integrate finance with law, in the context of bankruptcy.

Book Description

Includes a combination of explanatory text, cases, and problems that permit the professor to use either a problem-based approach or a more traditional case-based approach. Ample explanatory text orients students to the issues and helps them bring a basic understanding of the material to each class session. Most of the problems and much of the explanatory text are based on a continuing hypothetical case of Foam Corporation, a distressed manufacturer. The goal is to provide a concrete setting for the application of bankruptcy law and the consideration of bankruptcy policy.

A solid Chapter 11 Hornbook.......2007-01-26

This is a well written hornbook for those law students seeking to get their arms around Chapter 11 reorganizations. The concepts that one needs to master to understand business reorganizations can be especially difficult for law students. If you are taking a class in Chapter 11 reorganizations, this is a hornbook worth having. For a general overview of bankruptcy concepts, including Chapters 7 and 13, I recommend professor Epstein's Nutshell Series book on Bankruptcy.

Good book for comprehensive bankruptcy Course.......2006-12-04

Good book if you are taking a comprehensive bankruptcy course. Initially seems daunting, but by the time you complete the book you will have an excellent overall understanding of bankruptcy. Possibly overkill for basic bankruptcy course.

From the supplier: Payless Cashways has filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection at the same time that it filed its plans for a bankruptcy reorganization. Payless' fast-track approach is due to banks' demands calling for a complete reorganization at the end of 1997. The terms of the reorganization plan include an initial bank loan of $125 million and another $150 million once the firm emerges from the bankruptcy. Payless' creditors will, in turn, be paid 100% of the amount it owes them and get 54% of the equity from the resulting new firm.

Book Description

This edition re-examines the Sunshine Act since it was originally signed in 1977.

Book Description

Until recently, many Japanese believed that they lived in the richest country in the world, and in the early 1990s, they welcomed the end of one-party dominance. However, by the middle of the 1990s, many Japanese are no longer confident in their economy, nor optimistic in their politics. This authoritative study analyses various aspects of Japanese society and economy in order to provide a balanced view between the optimism of the 1980s and the pessimism characteristic of more recent years. The Political Economy of Japanese Society is a revision and translation of a multidisciplinary research project carried out by the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo. Beginning with the late nineteenth century, it examines the historical developments of Japan's contemporary political economy, paying particular attention to the changes that have occurred 'from below'. Social actors who have often been given peripheral treatment, such as opposition parties, the aged, female workers and foreign workers, are brought to the forefront of the analysis, alongside those considered more mainstream, such as the governing party, large corporations and labour unions. The Japanese political economy of the 1980s and 90s has had a strong impact on the global economy, and this book also analyses selective influences on the outside world, in particular on other Asian nations and the USA. Volume 1 analyses the structures of the Japanese political economy which encouraged continuous economic growth in the period from 1955 to 1990, focusing on such phenomena as Japanese political management, the Japanese employment system, and one-party dominance in politics. Volume 2 examines some of the problems inherited from this period of dramatic economic growth.

Book Description

Deng Xiaoping's death marked the end of an era in contemporary Chinese politics. The first generation revolutionary leaders have gone, and the third generation leaders are genuinely in power. At the same time, economic reforms since 1978 have now reached a plateau, and a new impetus is called for to maintain the momentum of economic growth. Reform of the state enterprises is a good example of the situation.

It is therefore an appropriate time to review developments in China and discuss what needs to be done in the future. A team of experts has been gathered to complete this formidable task. They come from Australia, China, Hong Kong and the United States. Each author deals with a specific policy area, and his/her chapter will cover: (1) what has been achieved since 1978; (2) an evaluation of the policies and reforms so far with emphasis on what needs to be done in the future; (3) what the plans of Chinese leaders on further reforms and future changes are, and what the author's evaluation of such plans is; and (4) what the vision following Deng's death will be.

Book Description

Despite repeated predictions of collapse and disintegration, China has managed to sustain national unity and gain international stature since the 1989 Tiananmen crisis. Examining the sources and dynamics of the resilience, this volume's contributors reveal how China's leaders have adapted and reinforced key economic and political institutions. They also disclose that implementation of complex policies to regulate economic and social life (employment and migration, population planning, industrial adjustment, and regional disparities) has become more effective over time within a context of growing social and economic diversity.

Book Description

The latest in a series exploring twenty-first-century governance, this new volume examines the use of market means to pursue public goals. "Market-based governance" includes both the delegation of traditionally governmental functions to private players, and the importation into government of market-style management approaches and mechanisms of accountability. The contributors (all from Harvard University) assess market-based governance from four perspectives:

The "demand side" deals with new, revised, or newly important forms of interaction between government and the market where the public sector is the "customer." Contributors include Steve Kelman, Karen Eggleston, Richard Zeckhauser, and Peter Frumkin.

The "supply side" section deals with unsettled questions about government's role as a provider (rather than a purchaser) within the market system. Contributors include Georges de Menil, Frederick Schauer, and Virginia Wise.

A third section explores experiments with market-based arrangements for orchestrating accountability outside government by altering the incentives that operate inside market institutions. Contributors include Robert Stavins, Archon Fung, Cary Coglianese, and David Lazer.

The final section examines both the upside and the downside of the market-based approach to improving governance. Contributors include Elaine Kamarck, John D. Donahue, Mark Moore, and Robert Behn.

Excellent overview of various laws for everyday life........2003-08-11

If there is only one legal book that you wish to buy, let it be this one. Or if you are looking to buy your first legal book, this is the best choice. The reason is that this book contains information on the law in a great many areas of everyday life - houses, neighbors, landlords and tenants, workplace rights, small businesses, patents, wills and estate planning, parents and children, etc. There are also two valuable chapters on courts and criminal law. These two chapters have information on how to represent yourself in court, how to deal with your lawyer, and what to do in case of an arrest or search.

Every single topic I researched on my own from 'What does renter's insurance cover?' to 'Do I need a lawyer to make my will?', I found that this book has the most comprehensive information on the topic than anywhere else I looked. I have now formed a system where I always consult this book first and then go to the specific Nolo book on the topic for very detailed information if needed. I have over 30 Nolo guides and I feel so much more confident about my understanding of the law as a result of reading these books. I think my lawyer also appreciates it as she finds it easy to work with me on the various legal issues in my business.

The Nolo guides typically look pricey (compared to other books) but really aren't when you consider the wealth of information provided and the depth of topics covered along with the plain English explanations. My two favorite chapters in this book are the last two chapters - Courts and Mediation AND Criminal Law and Procedure. I had always been interested in HOW the law is actually implemented and these two chapters gave me a good start in gaining this understanding. I also thoroughly enjoyed the three chapters on Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks. I especially like the explanation on how to enforce a patent and how to enforce a trademark.

Each chapter has many reference links at the end of the chapter where you can check those out for more detailed information or verify the information presented from the original sources. There is a glossary at the end of the book that is short but helpful in explaining hundreds of legal terms and there is an appendix on how to do legal research. This 10 page section on legal research is PACKED with information. This alone saved me hours of research on HOW to do legal research!

This book is great for both individuals and small businesses. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much I did! Good luck!

Book Description

The West cannot afford to ignore China. Not only is China one of the few markets in the world that is still showing healthy signs of growth, but Chinese companies are increasingly coming out into the wider world and competing with Western firms on their own turf. China is the coming economic superpower of the twenty-first century, and now is the time to start understanding China and building relationships to it. This book aims to describe some features of the Chinese business environment and culture, including the origins and development of that culture, and introduce Western business people to some of the key features, as well as some of the less obvious ones. It offers cautionary tales and warnings of risk, along with advice on how the latter can be overcome. It breaks down a number of misconceptions about China and offers managers a more realistic view of management in China today.

Book Description

A key driver of economic growth in developing nations is a dynamic, competitive small and medium size business sector. In most of these countries, however, small companies and their entrepreneurial owners, the core of the private sector, are unable to achieve their potential because of limited access to essential investment capital. The entrepreneurs lack know-how about the capital raising process, investors are unfamiliar with assessing small business risk, and policy makers are insensitive to the importance of small enterprise finance as a prerequisite for building a vibrant private sector.

This innovative work is designed to enhance understanding about the practical issues that investors, entrepreneurs and policy makers, as well as students of international development, must contend with in order to improve small business access to investment capital in developing countries. The volume contains a number of case studies that describe and analyze a number of actual small business investments in order to highlight the special risks, challenges, pitfalls, and commitments that are found in most developing country investment environments. The diversity of the cases, covering a range of countries and sectors, highlight the gamut of skills and issues that must be mastered to succeed in financing small businesses in developing nations.

This volume will be a useful guide for all those interested in strengthening investment in developing nations. It will serve as a learning text for students of international finance and development, and a practical guide for entrepreneurs and private equity investors in developing economies whose success depends on mastering the skills presented in this work.
