...Business Proposal Lindsey Brito ECON 561 Professor Ali Boloorian Business Proposal Until recently the United States health care system relied immensely on private health care insurance. In regards to public programs that provide medical coverage for the rest of Americans who cannot afford health care, there are two prominent public programs within the United States; Medicare, which is a federal social insurance program that caters to seniors. The other primary public program is Medicaid which is aimed more towards certain disabled individuals. Both Medicaid and Medicare are funded by the federal government but are managed at the state level. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed by congress and signed into law in 2010 by President Obama. The main objective of ObamaCare is to ensure the affordability and quality of healthcare, the Affordable Care Act Bill is also anticipating to curb the growth in healthcare spending in the United States (Obama Care Facts, 2014). Healthcare in the United States has historically been a private for profit industry, but with the emergence of Obamacare that is likely shift the market a bit. The prices of healthcare are tightly controlled and many practices are considered to be unfair. Only those who are able to afford insurance are the ones who are able to seek and obtain quality healthcare. For those who are unable to afford insurance and are successful in obtaining it through public programs such as, Medicare and or...

...Business Proposal-Will Bury Through the current economic condition, remaining competitive and growing profit is essential to sustaining a vital business. Mr. Will Bury has developed proprietary technology that will allow him to convert printed text into a digital format for reading, or audio for listening. Since Mr. Bury holds the patent on his digital and audio converting technology, his company fits the criteria of a monopoly. In addition, he is not clear on how to market or price his product, (University of Phoenix, 2003). This proposal will endeavor to provide essential ideas for improving revenue, attaining ideal production levels, regulating fixed and variable costs to maximize profit, and finding methods to lower costs. Current Fixed and variable cost: Currently, Mr. Bury has fixed costs that include a portion of his mortgage and utilities, (his business operation is out of his home). His variable costs include royalty fees for copyrights of book titles, his time, and any resources he uses to transform the text and place them in a digital and audio format. In order for Mr. Bury to maintain his lead he must constantly improve the technology of his product. Furthermore, Mr. Bury will need to employ additional employees to run the transformation process. They will also assist in seeking, and safeguarding the company copyrighted information and resources suitable for conversion. While this will increase his variable costs, it will allow Mr. Bury to increase production...

...Will Bury Business Proposal Econ/561 March 2, 2011 To: Whom it May Concern From: Will Bury Date: March 2, 2011 I have gathered you here today to discuss the future of my company Will Bury’s Digital Books. My company’s structure is monopolistic competition, which mean as demand increases, prices decrease. To make any profits, I have to make sure that my product is in demand (Halmos, 1995). After that, it is in my best interest to determine ways to increase revenue, minimize cost, profit maximizing quantity, concepts of marginal cost and marginal revenue, pricing and non-pricing, barriers to entry, and product differentiation. The things I have listed will ensure the success of my company. Increase Revenue and Minimizing Cost Increasing revenue and minimizing cost is what we strive to do as an organization. Many things considered in the process of creating a plan to increase revenue and minimize cost. I believe that I first need a budget to be set so I do not overspend; therefore, I will minimize cost because I will not spend any unnecessary money. One way to cut cot is to do just in time processing; orders are produced when orders are complete. This will prevent overstock. Instead of hiring a high school graduate or overseas staff, my plan is to partner with local colleges and getting some interns. I can get interns to work free; this will cut cost and ultimately increase revenue and minimize cost. Minimizing my variable cost is also away to minimize cost and increase...

...Business Proposal Paper Lucionda Garnett ECON/561 October 22, 2014 Mr. David Grier Introduction In today’s society, it is imperative that businesses adopt an efficient and effective strategy, in order to stay ahead in this persistently fluctuating professional world. Every business should have an approach that will align with the shifting economy to sustain or even gain more business. The result of an ineffective approach may result in the loss of customers, profits, and consequently the demise of the business as well. In this paper the author will attempt to write a business proposal, with specifics about Verizon Wireless network, which is vital in this technological savvy industry. In this business proposal, the author will identify the market structure for Verizon Wireless network, identify elasticity of the product, and discuss how pricing will relate to the Network as a whole. The author will also discuss how changes in the quantity supplied as a result of pricing decisions affect marginal cost and marginal revenue, suggest some nonpricing strategies that Verizon will use to increase barriers to entry, and how the changes in operations may alter the mix of fixed and variable costs. And finally, the author will go in depth about the current...

...formation to recognize the shift in social interactions from real to virtual life. We argue that couples can use internet communications not only to marry when separated by great distance but also to choose which state’s laws will authorize their marriage. In particular, same sex couples could marry under the laws of a state that permit such unions, regardless of where they exchange vows. States inadvertently have created geographic monopolies, requiring each marriage receiving the benefits of their licensing laws to be performed within their borders. This Article’s model builds upon established precedents, such as proxy marriage and choice of law for multijurisdictional and internet contracts. Using the power of internet communications, our proposal allows states to compete over marriage’s procedures and substance. Depending on a couple’s preferences for “e-ritual” and a state’s desired level of regulatory control, couples could consume the trappings of a traditional ceremony before their friends and family, without travelling to another jurisdiction, perhaps with an officiant presiding on-line from a remote location. More simply, couples could have a complete marriage ceremony in the location of their choice, but would receive a license and file necessary papers with a distant state jurisdiction. Some states do not recognize types of marriages that other states...

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr A PATTERN-ORIENTED APPROACH TO FAIR USE MICHAEL J. MADISON* ABSTRACT More than 150 years into development of the doctrineof "fairuse" in American copyright law, there is no end to legislative,judicial, and academic efforts to rationalizethe doctrine. Its codification in the 1976 CopyrightAct appearsto have contributedto its fragmentation, rather than to its coherence. As did much of copyright law, fair use originated as a judicially unacknowledged effort via the law to validate certain favored practicesand patterns.In the main, it has continued to be applied as such, though too often courts mask their implicit validation of these patterns in the now-conventional "caseby-case" application of the statutoryfair use "factors"to the defendant's use of the copyrighted work in question. A more explicit acknowledgment of the role of these patterns in fair use analysis would be consistent with fair use, copyright policy, and tradition. Importantly, such an acknowledgment would help to bridge the often difficult conceptual gap between fair use...

Whether in negotiated mergers,1 freeze-out mergers, 2 hostile tender offers, 3 friendly tender offers,4 self-tenders, 5 leveraged buyouts, 6 negotiated share repurchases, 7 or negotiated sales of treasury stock,8 directors seek the blessing of investment banks before approving transactions or adopting defensive measures. These banks give their blessings in the form of fairness opinions, which usually consist of short letters that state an opinion about whether a proposed transaction is "fair" or "adequate." 9 In addition, the banks often give presentat Professor of Law, Harvard Law Schaool; Faculty Research Fellow, National Bureau of Economic Research. * Visiting John M.
