...The Legal Environment of Business Uniform Commercial Code Articles 1 and 2 Outline I. Introduction A. Historical Background and Philosophy The law of sales originated in the customs and traditions of merchants and traders. The Lex Mercatoria (Law Merchant) was a system of rules, customs, and usages self-imposed by merchants to settle disputes and enforce obligations among themselves. (See also Maritime Law and the Courts of Pied Poudre). The rules were established at fairs, at which merchants met to exchange goods and settle differences through courts established and operated by merchants. By the end of the seventeenth century, the principles of the Law Merchant had become widely accepted. Eventually, they became part of the common law, and judges refined them into the modern law of sales. In the United States, sales law varied from state to state, and this made multistate sales contracts difficult. In the late nineteenth century, when multistate contracts became the norm, the difficulties became especially troublesome, and attempts were made to produce a uniform body of law relating to commercial transactions. In the 1940s the need to integrate the laws covering commercial transactions into a single, comprehensive body of statutory law was recognized. The UCC was developed to serve that purpose. B.

...Introduction of Business Related Discipline Research Articles Qing Tian I. Introduction Business and economics papers have made a significant contribution to the development of the corporations and economics growth. However, it may be difficult for the readers to fully understand the materials if the structure of the papers is very complicated. In recent decades, there is an increasing trend in the complicacy of business and economics papers (Ellison, 2000). This phenomenon will induce more complexity in comprehending profound research papers. Regarding it, some basic models have been invented to give a general guideline of the building blocks of the research papers. For example, for writing an introduction of an article, Swales (1990) introduced a rhetorical pattern called create-a-research-space (CARS) which segments the introduction into three major parts, namely move 1, 2 and 3. The move 1 aims to give a background information of the topic of the research paper, depicting a general picture of which area the paper will fall into. The next move known as niche basically serves to connect move 1 and 3, illustrating the motive and inspiration of the paper (Swales & Feak, 2012). Followed by niche is the main purpose of the article. By presenting in either a purposive or descriptive way, the author can show a ultimate goal of the article. However, although some kinds of standardizations have been made to formalize the research papers, the construction of journals articles may vary...

...Introduction When a procedure, a model, an approach, a case study, or other research is undertaken, generally some measure of the system's performance is presented and perhaps analyzed. A large number of different types of performance measures have been used to characterize systems, particularly production, distribution, and inventory systems. Such a large number of available performance measures makes performance measure selection difficult. Generally, performance measurement research focuses on analyzing performance measurement systems that are already in use, categorizing performance measures and then studying the measures within a category, and building rules of thumb or frameworks by which performance measurement systems can be developed for various types of systems. Beamon (1996) presents a number of characteristics that are found in effective performance measurement systems, and can therefore be used in evaluation of these measurement systems. These characteristics include: inclusiveness (measurement of all pertinent aspects), universality (allow for comparison under various operating conditions), measurability (data required are measurable), and consistency (measures consistent with organization goals). Besides analyzing the measures based on their effectiveness, benchmarking is another important method that is used in performance measure evaluation. Benchmarking can be useful in that it can serve as a means of identifying improvement opportunities. Camp (1989) provides...

...Business research is the application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena. These activities include defining business opportunities and problems, generating and evaluating alternative courses of action, and monitoring employee and organizational performance. It is the way that a company can do a field of practical study to obtain data and analyze it in order to better manage the company. Executives and managers who use business research methods are able to better understand their company, the position it holds in the market and how to improve that position. “Business research is unique from other research because business researchers do not just gather knowledge, but also generate action. Business researchers deliberately and consciously investigate problems or perceived gaps from “what is” to “what should be (JIU, 2012, BC 500, Module 1, Theme 1, para 1). “Critical Success Factors in the Performance of Female Owned Businesses: A Study of Female Entrepreneurs in Korea” by Sang Suk Lee and Timothy M.

This article was interesting to me because of the recent assignment we studied on communication and the importance of written communication. In this article, the author explains, “writing ability, the development of which occupies considerable attention in most business communication courses, was not viewed as a primary concern when considering executives for promotion” (DeKay ,2012, 450). This article has been peer-reviewed, therefore considered to be of scholarly value. The author’s work as an adjunct associate professor at the Graduate School of Education, St. John’s University, Jamaica, Queens, New York and as V.P. for corporate communications at BNY Mellon Corporation in New York City supports his authority. Hynes, Geraldine E. (2012). Improving Employees’ Interpersonal Communication Competencies: A Qualitative Study[->1]. Business Communication Quarterly, Vol. 75 Issue 4, p466-475. doi: 10.1177/1080569912458965. What I found interesting about this article was how important interpersonal communication is in the work place and the lack of interpersonal communication skills graduating students have. “While typical undergraduate business degree programs offer a course or two in writing and formal speaking, a course dedicated to interpersonal communication or daily workplace interactions is rarer”(Hynes, 2012, 473).
