...Courtroom Observation Case White v. Gibbs John Simpson Louisiana Tech Abstract This paper observes the court case of White v. Gibbs in which Debbie White is suing Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern under the civil provisions of Indiana’s Dram Shop Act (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2014). Deborah White brought this court case to the Supreme Court in order to argue against the summary judgment filed by the defendants.

The attorneys representing Mrs. White are Amanda Babbitt and Jackson Walsh. The attorneys for the defendants are Benjamin Walton and Jordan Van Meter. Courtroom Observation Case White v.

...A Case Study of Wal-Mart’s “Green” Supply Chain Management Adam Heying Whitney Sanzero MGT 520 Operations Management Professor Jim Constand May 4, 2009 Summary Supply chain management has been the cornerstone to Wal-Mart’s success and remains their primary competitive advantage in the retail/department store industry. Their distribution system is generally regarded as the most efficient and they have an approach to supply chain management that has long emphasized visibility through the sharing of information with their suppliers. Although there are hundreds of logistical functions which allow Wal-Mart to be the price and logistics leader, the focus will be primarily on the company’s newly adopted strategy of making logistical processes “green” and more environmentally conscious. According to the Supply Chain Management Review, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott committed the company to three ambitious goals: to be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy; to create zero waste; and to sell products that sustain Wal-Mart’s resources and the environment. Wal-Mart’s 14 Sustainable Value Networks, the Network’s structure, new “green” logistics technologies, and additional future initiatives will be considered along with counter arguments which suggest that Wal-Mart’s green initiative is simply unsustainable. The main sticking point seems to be the same one that has long held back the adoption of better light bulbs...

...Alex Vanarthos 11/26/2014 America's Most Successful Family Businesses Family businesses make up an incredible 34% of the S&P 500 Index, meaning over 170 of our nation's 500 largest companies are family owned (Caspar, Christian). To some, this figure is extremely surprising, as it shatters the commonly held misconception that family firms are simply "mom and pop shops." Although it is clear that family businesses are capable of incredible widespread success, exactly why this is the case is far less obvious. One way to gain some valuable insight into how and why so many effective family businesses exist is to closely examine the three in our nation that have had the most success: Cargill, Ford Motors, and Wal-Mart. In many ways, these businesses could not be more different; for instance, they operate in separate industries, and the levels and types of family involvement in the firms vary. Extensive analysis of these three corporations did, however, reveal that while no family, business, or family business is perfect, each company's achievements are directly attributable to its commitment to the common vision and identity instilled in the firm by the family. Cargill Cargill is a private corporation that works with "farmers, customers, governments and communities" to provide "food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services to the world ("Cargill:...

...Wal-Mart: The Future is Sustainability Summary Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is one of the top companies in the retail industry. According to Forbes (2010), in 1962 brothers Sam and Bud Walton ran handful of small 5-and-10 stores in Arkansas and Missouri and they built their first Wal-Mart discount store in 1962. Then on Halloween day 1969 Wal-Mart Corporate (n.d.) states that the company incorporated. Since those early days when the founder Sam Walton was running the company many things have changed. For instance Ferrell, Fraedrich, and Ferrell (2011) stated that due to the staunch work ethic and dedication to customer care that Sam Walton instilled in the company, the company did feel that there was a need formal ethics program (p. 315). However, as time has passed the thinking of the Wal-Mart Executives has had to change. I do not know if Wal-Mart has changed because of the lawsuits they have encountered over ethical issues, if it was driven by the desire to keep profits high, or if Wal-Mart changed the way they do business because the company really does want to right thing for all the stakeholders. From what I can see, ethics has become a very important part of Wal-Mart’s business strategy. They seem to have a formal ethics program in company these days and they even want the entire world to know about because they provide a digital copy of their 36 page Statement of Ethics document on their web site.

...BUSI 301 COURTROOM OBSERVATION PAPER Indiana Northern District Court Case Number 82a04-8876-cv285 Plaintiff: Deborah White Plaintiff representatives: Walsh Jackson and Amanda Babott Defendant: Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern Defendant Representatives: Benjamin Walton and Jordan Van Meter Defendant Council Overview: Jordan Van Meter and Benjamin Walton are representing the defendant who is Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern. The representing defense suggests that the Court give a summary judgment to John Daniels who was the bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern. The Plaintiff is seeking damages from the defendant, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s tavern stating that Mr. Gibbs had knowledge of Mr. Hard’s intoxication. The Indiana Law. Ind Code Ann 7.1-5-10-15.5 2006 does require that a defendant have actual knowledge in order to recover damages. Constructive knowledge does not satisfy the presumption, only subjective knowledge. Circumstantial evidences cannot support constructive knowledge, but only actual knowledge. According to the 7th circuit court of Indiana, visible acts of intoxication are subjective. The bartender himself only saw Mr. Hard sitting on a stool drinking whiskey which is not an uncommon occurrence in a bar. The case that was cited in the courtroom, the Ash Lock case (Ashlock v. Norris, 475 N.E.2d 1167, 1170 Ind. Ct. App. 1985) was not as severe as this case. This specific bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern did not have actual knowledge of...
