...but do not want to pay a lawyer to draw up the lease. Joanna, a neighbor, is in law school. She is not licensed to practice law. She offers to draft a lease for you for $100, and you unwisely accept. Later, you refuse to pay her fee and she sues to collect. Problem or Issue: Who will win the lawsuits, and why? Apart from the law, was it morally right for the law student to try to help out by drafting the lease, and why? Was she acting helpfully, or foolishly, or fraudulently? Is it just for you to agree to her fee and then refuse to pay it? What is society’s interest in this dispute? Should a court be more concerned with the ethical issue raised by the conduct of the two parties or with the social consequences of this agreement? Answer or Resolution: I will win the lawsuit. Joanna and I have no contract of leasing. It is right on morally to try to help me out by drafting the lease. She has no license of a lawyer, so she acts foolishly. It is not just for me to agree to her fee and then refuse to pay it. The society interest in the law school student whether or not can draft a lease. The court should be more concerned with the ethical issue raised by the conduct of the two parties. Analysis: A car sale contract passes ownership of the car from seller to buyer. The contract can be drafted and signed by the buyer and seller without a lawyer or notary present. However, witnesses to the contract’s signing might make the contract’s validity easier to prove, in the event that...

...source. NB: Economic Welfare is not a topic you can select – this sample project is meant to illustrate what sort of analysis is expected. Topic Selected: Economic Welfare Fuelling Controversy The Economist 11 January 2014 Overview of Article Many governments subsidise fuel consumption. However, many countries that currently subsidise fuel are starting to reverse course. In June 2013, Indonesia increased fuel prices by 44% and decreased their total subsidy cost by $20 billion annually. Malaysia also reduced fuel subsidies – household energy bills increased by 15% as a result. Egypt and India are considering following suit. The key rationale to these governments of removing subsidies was to decrease the budget deficit. Effects of Fuel Subsidy According to Article The article discusses that there are many other benefits to reducing fuel subsidies. o Fuel subsidies generate deadweight loss. o Fuel subsidies make inequality worse – it is mostly the rich that benefit (the rich use fuel disproportionately more). o Removal of fuel subsidies will allow the government to develop infrastructure. These policies are unpopular, however, and many in Indonesia and Malaysia protested the new policies. Fuel Prices around the World Indonesia and Malaysia have some of the largest fuel subsidies and lowest fuel prices in the world. Analysis of Welfare Effects of Fuel Subsidy This article discusses that there are deadweight losses...

...Negotiations Strategy Article Analysis Negotiations Strategies Integrative strategy is a process that allows both parties to maximize their objectives within their proposed deal. Using this type of strategy allows both parties involved to walk way from the table with the sense that they have both come out on top and have lost nothing in return. This is referred to as a win-win situation unlike that of the distributive bargaining. Either party in integrative bargaining has to lose anything in order to achieve their ultimate goal in the deal. In this bargaining strategy, both parties need to be willing to come to the table with an open mind and voice all of their information that they have. Distributive negotiation is the process in a deal or transaction where the parties are trying to divide something up into that of a smaller piece or section. Both parties involved want to achieve something in the process but are more like not to want to take a little loss to achieve their goals. This is also known in business as a win-lose situation. This type of strategy or process is also not good for long term relationship in business like that of integrative bargaining where the parties involved would like to continue to do business and have a investment that will be long term. Both integrative and distributive strategies can be used within the workplace, depending on the nature of negotiations and the line of business. In some cases, there are businesses that will...

...hair products and made a good amount of money until a retail giant sold a cheaper version of their product. The small business can file a lawsuit however will be put at risk if they do not win it. An entrepreneur can fail or succeed as we all know. It is very important to have a copyright, trademark or patent in case the product is very successful. If there is not any protection, the case (Mixed chicks) shows what can happen. (Scarborough, 2015, 674; WSJ, Sept 25, 2011) 2. Analyze advantages and the disadvantages of filing a trademark infringement lawsuit against the large chain selling Mixed Silk products? Conduct the same analysis for filing a lawsuit. Answer: Filing a trademark infringement in court would have several advantages. Etheridge and Levy would get the exclusive rights to sell the product as they designed it. Other companies cannot sell the product or a similar version of it that would confuse the customer and make them believe that it was the original product. The small business would not have to worry about loss in revenue as they are the only supplier for this specific hair product. However, in order to get to this point, the small business would have to file a lawsuit for trademark infringement which can cost a lot of money. Neither party knows at this point if they will win and take a risk upon them. As the text explains, if the small business challenges the big retail chain, who will have to take...

...fasteners (nuts & bolts), including 100 series, the 200 series and the 300 series. The products are sold by the company’s salaried sales force throughout New England. Berkshire Threaded Fasteners Company has recently lost their president, John Magers. The resulting appointment of his inexperienced son Joe Magers has led to the company’s loss of confidence. Brandon Cook is the recently appointed general manager who was hired to turn the company around after a loss of $70,000 in a good business year. Cook would have full authority to run the company and explains the reasons for every decision he made with the hope to train John Magers for successful leadership upon Cook’s retirement. Thanks to Cook’s management the first half of 2000 was a modestly successful period, but the second half of this year will be a challenging period because of price reduction on 100 series. With excess capacity for all industry players and very similar products, price competition was always a threat for the industry. Several changes have been proposed by the company management to increase profit and improve long-run profitability. ANALYSIS Careful analysis is needed in order to determine Berkshire’s business strategy. At first one would think it was product differentiation because of the inelastic demand in the short run. But one thing that should also be noted is the fact that for most goods, demand is much more price elastic in the long run than in the short run. This combined with the fact that...
