...Legal Environment of Business LLAW-110 Dr. Tareq Tawil Assignment #1: Comparison: CISG vs. UCC Horeya El Bakry SSN: 1499 Introduction Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) both talk about the offers of products, and a few progressions they affected in that division. These two understandings not being laws, here and there they can have disagreements with national laws of a particular nation in regards to exchanging, and possibly not disagreement but rather simply a few distinctions. For instance when the UCC was initially dispatched in the United States of America in all its 50 expresses (1952), all the states acknowledged the progressions that would accompany UCC in regards to exchanging laws between these states aside from the condition of Louisiana, as the Civil law of the state was negating with the regular law. CISG was dispatched in 1980 amid a United Nations gathering in Vienna, and it was settled upon by specialists that if worldwide exchanging laws between nations would change to what the CISG brought to the table, this would spare awesome expenses and troubles that go about as hindrances in front of universal exchanging, and more than 80 nations today apply the terms settled upon in the CISG. Differences between UCC and CISG One of the differences in the middle of UCC and CISG is the territory of purview. UCC is an interstate law, applies to the greater part of the states in the USA...

...Introduction The purpose of the report is to find out whether Morocco would be invested as the appropriate target country by our business--Read the World (RTW). The business scope of RTW is producing and selling the affordable high-quality educational books to the poorest people in the country. In addition, the business contains both economical and ethical requirements which are profit-making and positive social outcomes respectively. The audience of the report is the CEO of RTW. The poor people who live around the poverty line and the local retailers in Morocco would be target market of RTW. The report will be analysed from three perspectives, which are economical, social-cultural and political/legal environments and most relevant factors in each environment will present the favourable or unfavourable influences for RTW. The large target market, stable economy and cheap labour cost will show a moderate economical opportunity because the low literacy makes a constraint to the benefit. And for the social-culture environment, culture difference and diversity language environment represent a major risk, but local culture development might bring a potential opportunity. The current protest movements and high corruption also bring the major risk to business which is hard to be eliminated by benefit from international cooperation. Overall, the RTW might suffer from serious risks rather than opportunities. The recommendation to RTW might be that Morocco is considered inappropriate...

...Corpo 4th batch of cases (1) WESTERN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INC. vs. SALAS Facts: Private respondents, majority and controlling members of the Board of Trustees of Western Institute of Technology, Inc. were acquitted of the crimes of estafa and falsification of public document. The falsification charge was anchored on private respondents submission of the school's income statement for fiscal year 1985-1986 with the Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting therein the disbursement of corporate funds for the compensation of private respondents based on Resolution No. 4, series of 1986, and making it appear that the Resolution was passed by the board on March 30, 1986, when in truth the same was actually passed on June 1, 1986, a date not covered by the corporation's fiscal year. The charge of estafa is based on private respondent's having disbursed funds of the corporation by effecting payment of their retroactive salaries of P186,470.00 and subsequently paying themselves every 15th and 30th of the month starting June 15, 1986 in the amount of P19,500.00 per month. After trial, the court acquitted the private respondents on both counts without imposing any civil liability against them. The individual petitioners, minority stockholders of the corporation, thus seek to hold the private respondents civilly liable despite their acquittal based on the alleged illegal issuance by private respondents of Resolution No. 4, series of 1986, ordering the disbursement of corporate...

...Leading Licensing Companies By Dawn Wilensky A combination of new and evergreen properties/brands drove 2006 worldwide retail sales of licensed merchandise. Over the last five years, we have made strategic changes to our Leading Licensors list to ensure up-to-date, accurate worldwide retail sales estimates. This year, we made yet another change. As the line between licensor and licensing agent continues to blur—with many licensors taking on the task of representing properties/brands outside of their portfolio, and many traditional licensing agents being charged with fueling power for the brands/properties they represent—we have widened our list to include overall retail sales figures for licensing agents. As a result, we have changed this feature's name from “Leading Licensors” to “Leading Licensing Companies” to better reflect the power of the licensing business. As for this year’s list, which reflects 2006 worldwide retail sales of licensed merchandise, No. 1 Disney recorded a $2 billion increase in retail sales fueled, in part, by consumer demand for all things Pirates of the Caribbean, High School Musical, Cars, and Disney Princess. Sanrio also saw a significant uptick in sales, rising from $4.2 billion in 2005 to $5.2 billion in 2006. Phillips-Van Heusen makes its debut on the list at No. 2 with $6.7 billion in sales driven by proprietary brands Van Heusen, Arrow, Izod, Bass, and Calvin Klein. Other newcomers include: Carte Blanche Greetings ($700 million); Sean John...

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...
