College Faculty Members Publish Notable Textbooks

Faculty members in the College of Business Administration continue to excel as published scholars. A professor from the legal studies department and a Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus from the economics department have team up with several other legal experts and professors to publish a textbook called Dynamic Business Law. In addition, Dr. John Hoag, chair and professor of economics, has published a mathematical economics textbook.

Dr. Nancy Kubasek, legal studies, and Dr. Neil Browne, economics, co-authored a book that is a “comprehensive and readable” text that examines all the “relevant questions, concepts, and legal rules of business law” and teaches students to think critically in this market economy. It is a 1st edition, published by McGraw-Hill Irwin with a 2009 publication date.

What distinguishes this 1200+ page textbook from other texts is the chapter integration of essential components needed in business today, such as E-commerce, comparative laws on a global scale, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning.

Dr. Hoag has published a new text entitled Calculus and Techniques of Optimization with Microeconomic Applications, published by World Scientific Publishing in 2008. It applies mathematics to the study of economics and includes the mathematical tools required for the study of microeconomics at the graduate level. This textbook provides clearly explained theorems and definitions to help students better understand and master the principles of mathematical economics.
