Contingencies beyond the control of Little to be sufficient excuse for failure to comply with the contract.” Giant has placed 14 orders with Little over the past two years. Each order was delivered on time, but Little charged a different price each time. Giant’s purchasing department has informed us that an identical candy coating can be purchased at a lower cost from another vendor. BRIEF EVALUATION There are a number of flaws in the above contract that make it susceptible to avoidance. The sustained performance by Giant shows a good faith effort to adhere to a contract that Little appears to be taking advantage of.
If major United States manufacturing firms are being cut out of the equation, small town companies could never hope to conduct business with Wal-Mart. Lower priced goods seem to lose their luster, though, when so many sacrificed jobs are figured into the
If someone went to the Toys for Tots website based on no knowledge on the organization, they would most likely not donate their money. The only reason someone would donate on the Toys for Tots website is solely based on the Toys for Tots creditable popularity. Although the website does show good respect by including the name “Marines,” it fails on showing emotion to certain groups and explaining the
A tangible product must be created to warrant protection and the documentation of this idea and its execution must be clear. Copyright law exists to foster creativity and productivity and protect intellectual property, but this begins with the due diligence of the entrepreneur. Creators of new ideas cannot make assumptions about those whom they are employed, and they cannot allow their ideas to be made available to people they do not trust. It is likely that the Winklevosses did not have an idea about how popular their idea would become, and this was ultimately extremely costly for them. However, this case also clarifies how important it is to protect ideas and avoid informal work relationships with people they are not certain they can
This cost Pfizer $2.3 billion dollars. If Pfizer hadn’t off-labeled their drugs, a chance of making more of money would not have been presented (Torrey). Another way that the companies profit is by not taking the drug back into the lab to find out new uses for it since they have off-labeling to fall back on. Going back in the laboratory and doing further research costs a great deal of money that doesn’t need to be spent when you can say that the drug can be “used for a different treatment.” The practice of this is not right, playing guessing games with others lives so that you can reap the benefits of their recovery or their
They are not adding additional staff, equipment, or software so spreading the resources out could cause the quality of the existing products to suffer. The current crop of products and services are what made the company successful in the first place, there is no guarantee that the new products will be
Google wants to establish itself as a media giant yet most of products that are branded with the Google name are software driven. Furthermore, Google does not participate in a campaign that enhances the brand. eBay, Amazon, Apple and even Bing utilize brand advertising to reach out to a specific target audience. John Battelle (2012) answered a question from a report on brand advertising by suggesting that Google doesn’t need to do brand advertising, because Google’s service *is* the brand builder. But today, my answer is quite different: Google isn’t doing brand advertising because Google doesn’t know what its brand means (Battelle, 2012).
Suppose that Cornelius believes that Elliot is not a good hire for Pharma. Can he fire Elliot? Although Adams may have had the legal right to hire Elliot without the consent of the others, it was a morally wrong decision not to seek the consent of the other shareholding partners. As a privately held corporation which is small in size, the promotion of business efficiency is an objective best served by enabling the owners to arrange the organization of the enterprise as they choose unless such decisions are outside the scope of the partnership business which would make it impossible to
Right now the Department of Homeland Security is not set up to combat this type of uncoordinated threat. There is a federal financial allotment of billions of dollars annually for counterterrorism based on the 9/11 model of high-stakes, high profile attacks. While another 9/11 is unlikely at this point, it would not do any good to dismiss the possibility and focus solely on the new problem. Both types of threats must be addressed. Redirect some of the funds to better training of local law enforcement, information is key to thwarting both types of threats and hotlines are available but not advertised that greatly and they need to be, propaganda that promotes American values, society, and community is important in unifying the American people and our culture against extremism.
Postman uses a point-by-point argument to prove that Huxley’s vision is more relevant than Orwell’s. Postman says “What Orwell feared were those would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one” (Lines 12-13). Orwell’s vision of banning books could never happen in today’s society because of the first amendment. Banning of books can only take place in schools because the content could be too mature for youth, but students could still read the books outside of
