...ADR Analysis Business Law LAW 531 Robert Reimer February 3, 2014 TO: Robert Reimer FROM: DATE: February 3, 2014 SUBJECT: The Legal System and ADR Analysis The legal system it a vital part of protecting and defending corporations, as well as, handling business efficiently and effectively when problems arise. Sometimes every dispute can not be handled by simple discussion and have to be taken to a more formal setting in front of a judge. However, not all cases get resolved through the court system, which can lead to a non-preferred result. It is best to use other methods of resolution which is known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This can provide assistance for less formal cases that do not want to go through the whole grueling litigation process. A business is a major responsibility and in order for success there has to be organizational goals in place to ensure it is headed in the right direction. Most businesses are customer driven and their primary focuses are financial performance and customer satisfaction. When owning a business, there are several disagreements that can occur in regards to money or individual rights. I have been tasked with describing a state level business dispute that goes through a litigation process and uses an ADR instead of going to trial. Business State Level Dispute There are two best friends that decide to form a general partnership by co owning a flower shop. One friend works 20 hours a week while the other works...

...Banking Industry and the Economy Ja’Net McQueen Slater Strayer University Birmingham, AL Instructor: Dr. Lisa Kincaid Research and Communication- RES 531 April 18th, 2010 Context of the Problem Today the economy is at its worst than it’s ever been before since the 1940s. Unemployment is at a record high as well as companies that are continuing to close down due to financial issues. The housing markets, auto industry, banking industry, & loss of jobs are all major things that are being affected by the way the US is spending money. The housing market and banking industry are both some of the main things that are having a major affect on the U.S. and to how this affects all other aspects of daily living. Some people may ask, “How did we get this way”? Over the past 180 years the United States grew to a huge, integrated, industrialized economy that makes up over a quarter of the world economy. The main causes were a large unified market, a supportive political-legal system, vast areas of highly productive farmlands, vast natural resources (especially timber, coal and oil), an entrepreneurial spirit, a commitment to investing in material and human capital, and at times a willingness to exploit labor. In addition, the U.S. was able to utilize these resources due to a unique set of institutions designed to encourage utilization and extraction. The economy has maintained high wages, attracting immigrants by the millions from all over...

However, the exact reason why corporations implement CSR initiatives is often very vague and confusing to others. This paper will explore in depth how international corporations are motivated to incorporate CSR into the business strategies and how they deal with it. Based on academic references, the report firstly outlined the CSR background as well as some theory and key debates about CSR. Then, the methodology was summarized. After that, the case study of Apple Inc. was used to demonstrate the reasons for implementing CSR initiatives in depth. Following that, the types of dilemmas the company faced, the CSR approach and tactics it used were analyzed. Finally, a conclusion was drawn...

In 1999, equity underwritings in the technology, health care, and consumer segments totaled 665 but by 2002, the total was just 151 transactions. Mergers and acquisitions for the same sectors totaled 988 in 1999 and just 388 in This document was written by Adjunct Assistant Professor Fred Wainwright and Research Assistant Angela Groeninger, under the supervision of Professor Colin Blaydon as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective management.

N As shown in Exhibits 1 and 2, mergers and acquisitions are much more common in recent years than IPOs. Entrepreneurs that dream of an IPO and insist upon it when seeking an exit are vastly reducing their opportunities for successfully monetizing their shares. O The most popular exit strategies are: • A merger with another company, either public or private • An acquisition by another company, either public or private • An Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) whereby a private company offers its shares to the general public through a registration process...
