The purpose of tort law is to provide remedies for the invasion of various protected interests. The basic categories of torts are two classifications intentional and unintentional torts. (p.116) 2. What is a cyber-tort, and how are tort theories being applied in cyberspace? A tort committed in cyberspace. Tort theories which apply to cyberspace are those of defamation, which is complicated by the anonymity of the internet service provider (ISP).

Additionally, protections under the First Amendment do not apply in private corporations. Lewis Maltby (2010) cites the case of Lynne Gobbell who was fired in 2004 because she refused to remove a political bumper sticker from her car in direct disobedience of her boss. As such, private employers have fairly unlimited ability to monitor productivity and communications of employees at work to include use of communications equipment provided by the company and video monitoring. However, I recommend that the employer’s ability to monitor an employee’s personal email be limited, even when an employee logs into their personal email account from a work computer. Many employers allow employees leeway to do some personal business on company time or using company provided computers during work breaks. When logging into personal e-mail through an account such as Gmail or Yahoo, an employee has a reasonable The legal doctrine of employment-at-will gives employers the right to terminate employment for just about any reason with very few restrictions(Halbert & Ingulli, 2012)...

...Week 3 Discussion 1 From the e-Activity, develop a regression equation using the data you collected from your research. Use the regression equation to focus the demand for the product you chose for the next three periods. Assess what the results of the regression equation tells managers and how it is likely to impact decisions made related to maximizing profitability. I decided to take a brief look into Buffalo Wild Wings Chain future expansion near college campuses. The restaurant chain's management wants to determine the best locations in which to expand their restaurant business. So far the most successful locations have been near college campuses. This opinion is based on the positive numbers that quarterly sales (y) reflect and the size of the student population (x). Management's mindset is that over all, the restaurants that are within close proximity to college campuses with large student bodies generate more sales than restaurants located near campuses with small student bodies. Imagine you are a manager for the good or service used above. From the results of the regression equation, suggest strategies to either maintain demand (if an increase over three periods occurs) or improve demand (if a decrease over three periods occurs). Provide support for your recommendations. The regression analysis of the demand patron assures that managers are able to forecast the future sales. For profitability perspective, the demand for the future should show an increasing trend...

...Week Seven DQ 3 Post a 150- to 300-word original response to the following discussion question by clicking on Reply and changing the subject line to read: [Your Name]'s Response If you own your car or house and are no longer making payments, should you still have insurance on them? Explain why or why not. I'd have to say that if you owned your house out right you'd be crazy not to have that large of an Investment cover by insurance policies... I say policies because I'd want to protect my investment against all kinds of damage. Flood insurance is almost unheard of where I live, but just last year there were houses with basements flooded because of snow melt overflowing the river that has been low for decades... A lesson I don't want to learn the hard way, and have to cover the costs of the repairs out of pocket. It was a complete freak occurance but it dosn't rule out the possibility of it happening again. So now we have flood insurance. And with the cars the same thing. i didn't buy my car to not have it running and in good condition for as long as I can. And the other drivers on the road are just as unpredictable as the weather. So I personal don't see any reason why you wouldn't have full coverage on your vehicle. It cost just as much to insure it as when you still had to make payments on it. And most cars these days are a whole lot to fix any more. With all of the cars computers and sensors being mounted on the shell of the vehicle. The cost of repairs could easily...

...The general attitude I feel is that of mistrust, and underutilization of benefits due to the wealth of information. The type of attitude is determined by economic needs, education on the benefits and the history of the employee relationship with previous companies. If something sounds too good to be true more often than not, it is .The economy has left a lot of people more cautious with their money and investments especially after the ENRON scandal. Every day we see an employee paying into benefits only to find the company is out of business or has gone bankrupt. The most common thing that I have seen is mergers that take on new benefits that leave prior employees out in the cold without seniority or longevity benefits. This has led to the mistrust of benefit packages. Benefit packages are sometimes hard to understand by the average employee. If they do not understand it and how it will work in their benefit employees tend to not opt for a particular benefit. There is also perhaps unclear cost associated with a benefit; take home pay may be less due to the allocated cost There are ways to educated and ensure that the employee is aware of benefits and feel comfortable being an active participator. The HR department can have a job benefit fair were there are counselors available for questions and concerns. Sometimes it helps to see the big pictures and employees need to see a timeline for future benefits .Asking for feedback gives the HR department real and relevant...

...MGMT 520 Legal, Political and Ethical Dimensions of Business Week 3 - Discussion 2 - Environmental Liability and Due Process In 1979, Paul and John Reardon purchased 16 acres of land located next to a manufacturing plant in Massachusetts. In 1983, a state environmental agency, responding to a citizen's report, tested soil samples from both properties and discovered extremely high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on the plant site and on the Reardons' property where it bordered the site. Shortly thereafter, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cleaned up the contaminated areas. In 1985, the EPA notified the Reardons that they might be liable for clean-up costs. An EPA investigation of the property in 1987 revealed that some soil was still contaminated. This time, the Reardons cleaned up the property themselves. In March 1989, the EPA placed a lien for an unspecified amount on all of the Reardons' property to secure payment for any clean-up costs for which the Reardons might be liable. The EPA told the Reardons that they could settle the claims against them for $336,709 but noted that this amount did not limit the Reardon’s potential liability. The Reardons filed a motion for an injunction, arguing that filing a lien against their property without any prior notice or hearing violated their due process rights under the Fifth Amendment, which states that no person can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

...This work ACC 561 Week 3 Discussion Question 3 includes solutions to the following question: "Identify an industry in which a job order cost system or a process cost system could be used. How might each of the cost systems be implemented within this particular industry? Does an industry exist in which the job order and the processing cost systems would not be suitable? Explain your rationale." Business - Accounting Alternative Costing Methods The text presents job and processing costing systems as virtual “polar extremes,” there are many situations where it may be best for a company to use a hybrid system that combines attributes of both systems. Describe such a situation and discuss how the hybrid system may be better than either pure job or pure process systems. Think Twice Assume you own a business that makes two complementary products for which you allocated manufacturing overhead proportionally. A competitor is trying to undercut your price for one of the products. How might ABC costing help you better compete with this pending threat? Activity Base Costing- How do managers cost products or services using ABC systems? When should managers consider using an ABC costing system? How should they decide to adopt this method? Alternative Costing Methods I would like you all to select a costing method: process, job, or activity based. Describe the nature of your chosen method.

...After reviewing the videos from Coca-Cola, Southwest Airlines, and VF Company, Team A discussed the following for each company. With Coca-Cola Team A discussed how diversification and concentration applied with this company. Diversification came about when Coca-Cola made the decision to branch out to non-carbonated drinks. Pepsi Co. made a similar decision when it branched out with Frito Lay and leaked into the food industry. According to PepsiCo’s website, they own very popular snacks like Doritos, Cheetos, Lays, and Ruffles chips. The CEO of Coca-Cola at the time decided that the food industry was just not for them. Instead, Coca-Cola expanded into the remainder of the vast beverage world. For example, according to Coca-Cola’s website, they own the following products such as Dasani, Seagram’s, Nestea, Sprite, Mr. Pibb, Fanta, Minute Maid, PowerAde, Odwalla, Fuze, and many other drinks. The concentration in this company is beverages, any and all types of beverages including plain bottled water. With Southwest Airlines, Team A felt that vertical integration was the strategy most displayed in this company. The team came to this decision after viewing the video and viewing how at one point Southwest was fueling up their own planes to cut costs instead of having an outside contractor perform this task. In addition, employees took pay cuts and worked longer hours to cope with the financial burdens the company was going through at the time. Employees focused on the bigger picture...

...student – Assignment 2: Using Your Manager Skills – Situation 1 student Professor LEG 100 March 9, 2015 MEMORANDOM To: President Shep Howard From: student Date: March 9, 2015 Re: Simply Green Products Dear President Howard, It has come to my attention that an environmental group known as “SafePack Materials Pollute” is clamming that our SafePack materials are not biodegradable. The group is asserting that these materials are causing an environmental hazard that is seeping from a local landfill into a nearby stream. The group has also launched an internet campaign geared toward compelling fruit producers to stop purchasing our packing materials. The situation raises environmental issues that relate directly to the Clean Water Act and the Solid Waste Disposal Act. The overall goal of the Clean Water Act is to eliminate the discharge of pollutants in the navigable waters of the United States (Bagley, p.487). To be in violation of the Clean Water Act, the SafePack Materials Pollute group must have several elements present to prove a valid claim towards our company. First, the group must be able to prove that our product is truly the cause of the seepage from the landfill into the nearby stream. Other evidence that may be used as proof may include testimony from witnesses, photographs or video tapes. The group must also be able to prove if our company does or does not have a NPDES permit. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a NPDES permit...
