...A Guide to Writing Answers to the Assignment Questions Introduction Students may be concerned that writing and referencing a law academic paper is ‘different’ to other types of academic papers. This is not correct except that perhaps the level of analysis required may be greater and more reliance on primary sources (e.g. precedent cases and legislation) and secondary sources (textbooks, articles) may be required. But the basic fundamentals are still the same: a well-structured piece of work that leads the reader through a discussion of a particular problem or issue. There should be an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Inevitably, either you will be required to put up arguments for hypothetical parties dealing with a hypothetical business problem or you may be asked for your view about a particular legal issue. It is essential that you base your arguments and views on legal principles and cases and thus reliance on what others have written is necessary. This guide attempts to provide you with some assistance in writing and referencing law academic papers. Some basic resource materials are also noted. [NB: This guide is a starting point only.] There are two types of Law Academic Papers Students who take the Business Law Major will inevitably be expected, at some stage, to answer at least two different styles of legal questions: legal case studies and essays. Legal case studies These are questions based on a set of hypothetical facts. The purpose...

...Russia Case Study Cross-Cultural Management Russia Case Study Begin with the fact that the bid had been rigged. I as the owner of the company would not have had like to this kind of business being concluded underneath my nose. Yes, I may benefit but my loss after being investigated is much greater. With this being said, what was done is illegal in Russia. Seeing that this kind of practice is unethical, I would simply not accept the business regardless of being blacklisted from the country. The cost of being investigated by the FAS and charged with cartel and bid rigging is far worse than simply accepting the business, paying the 3%, and employing the purchasing manager. The charges that could follow from accepting such business could potentially follow with imprisonment, fines up to $500,000, blacklist, and compensation to the other companies involved in the bid. The compensation can be request to be paid for by the interest of the capital until the full capital amount is reached. All of this more than likely will account for 20% of my gross profit income and then some more. (Law & Practice, 2015) Money coming in and out is fixable but a rebuild the reputation of a company could take years and money. Following up with all of this, I personally would fly over to Russia to oversee exactly what else in the operation of my company. Personally fire the purchasing the manager and rehire the next manager personally. I feel that these actions will help avoid any further...

...basically an anti-terrorism law that was rather hastily passed as a result of the September 11, 2001 attacks. It primarily aims at deterring and punishing acts of terrorism committed in the United States and elsewhere (USA PATRIOT Act, n.d.). However, while it appears to have noble aims of safeguarding American lives and property, the act needs to be repealed or, if not, amended so that the privacy freedoms of citizens are not trampled upon. The USA PATRIOT Act also aims at expanding the investigatory tools of law enforcement and, as well, give authorities from the executive branch more teeth against money laundering and terrorism financing and criminal abuse of financial institutions (USA PATRIOT Act, n.d.). As part of its broadening of law enforcement agencies' investigative powers, the law increased same agencies' surveillance powers, rendering amendments to the Wiretap Statue, Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Study guide, n.d.). This means that the government is allowed to considerably obtain even personal information about its citizens and detain aliens even without publicly acknowledging such (Mayeux, 2003-2004). In more lay person's terms, the Patriot Act seeks to accomplish its anti-terrorist objective by allowing government to wiretap more, Internet activities included, and access student, library, and book records and, in the case of aliens, arrest them secretly. The anti-terrorism law also allows the government...

Specialising in furniture and home decoration, IKEA has an annual turnover of 19.8 billion euros (source: IKEA, www.ikea.com, accessed 25/03/2012). The IKEA catalogue is printed in 52 editions with 25 languages, with a global distribution in excess of 160 million copies. IKEA sees the Far Asia as an emerging market still in its infant stage. Its number of retail outlets in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong are very small and comprises a mere 3% of the company's total sales. These stores were expected to be more successful in the near future. IKEA's imminent strategic expansion into this region exemplified its ambitions to dominate this emerging market. This Case Study illustrates how IKEA's ventures into China and Japan are laden with unique marketing challenges which it had not encountered before in other international markets.
