    The issues involved in resolving legal disputes in international Transactions are the changes that are mad to international laws and regulations. The largest focus is the minimum wages. What is most discussed is China has a cheap labor force compared to America. This increases the profits for the company who outsources to cheaper labor cost. If the China manufacturing do not meet the US standards the US Company may become obligated to take legal action against the China Company. The American Company must take into consideration if the China Company meets their manufacturing requirements. The most common discuss topic on this matter is the lead based paint China Manufacturing applied to their products. American laws banned lead based paint and all products in China did not have an obligation to change their paint because China did not ban the lead in the paint. Once the orders started to return because it didn’t meet the US standards, China standards and laws did not change, however the China Company changed its paint to continue business with its foreign business partner. This strengthened the relationship and caused for contracts to outline such changes in manufacturing requirement. To cover the purchase of illegal products a contract must be agreed upon between the companies. This is the same in the way CadMex granted sublicensing agreements. This places CadMex as the liable party in a lawsuit. Without total control over the loosely worded contracts they become vulnerable to loop holes when law suits are filed against them. When the local customs and laws conflict with the customs and laws of an organization operating abroad the company that produces the product has the responsibility to abide by the ordering countries laws. When ordering products the contracts should stipulate the required regulation standards. If both parties agree upon the…

    This film was very interesting to watch. It made me realize how many frivolous lawsuits that have occurred. The Stella Liebeck case was huge example. Yes I understand she suffered third degree burns and had to be hospitalized for a week or so to recover but it could have possibly been prevented. The right thing to do would be to be careful when handling the cup of hot coffee. The cup itself says to be careful and why would anyone put a cup of hot coffee in between their legs especially being in the passenger seat where one could actually hold the cup in their hands which would have possibly prevented her from spilling hot coffee all over herself. The media won’t tell you that the actually cup itself melted from the hot coffee and therefore doesn’t give those who question this case a chance to see what really happened. This film seems to give a broad layout of what actually took place and why Stella Liebeck should be awarded for damages.…

    A franchise is a legal agreement between franchisers and franchisees that consents use of the franchise’s trademark and trade name or marketing plan to sell products or services (Kubasek, Brennan, & Browne, 2012, p. 791). Through a franchising arrangement franchisee can profit from implementing another’s efficacious business model. One of the most attractive advantages is the high probability of success of 90 % as compared to 20 % for small businesses (Staring and Naming a Business Presentation, 2012, Slide 9). Other advantages include established franchise reputation, operational support and training, product research and development, and better access to financing. On the downside, business plan rigidity can deprive the quality of customer service and hinder a creative business owner. Thus, both the Clayton Act regulates business competition and price discrimination (15 USC §§ 12-27; 36 Am J1st Monop etc §§ 141, 142) and the Sherman Act is a federal antitrust act (15 USC §§ 1 et seq; 36 Am J1st Monop etc. § 141) protect the public and small business owners from monopolization and market power.…

    CASE 2: DRINK-AT-HOME, INC. Drink-At-Home, Inc. (DAH, Inc.), develops, processes, and markets mixes to be used in nonalcoholic cocktails and mixed drinks for home consumption. Mrs. Lee, who is in charge of research and development at DAH, Inc., this morning notified Mr. Dick Jones, the president, that exciting developments in the research and development section indicate that a new beverage, an instant pina colada, should be possible because of a new way to process and preserve coconut. Mrs. Lee is recommending a major program to develop the pina colada. She estimates that expenditure on the development may be as much as $100,000 and that as much as a year's work may be required. In the discussion with Mr. Jones, she indicated that she thought the possibility of her outstanding people successfully developing such a drink now that she'd done all the really important work was in the neighborhood of 90 percent. She also felt that the likelihood of a competing company developing a similar product in 12 months was 80 percent. Mr. Jones is strictly a bottom line guy and is concerned about the sales volume of such a beverage. Consequently, Mr. Jones talked to Mr. Besnette, his market research manager, whose specialty is new product evaluation, and was advised that a market existed for an instant pina colada, but was some-what dependent on acceptance by both grocery stores and retail liquor stores. Mr. Besnette also indicated that the sales reports indicate that other firms are considering a line of tropical drinks. If other firms should develop a competing beverage the market would, of course, be split among them. Mr. Jones pressed Mr. Besnette to make future sales estimates for various possibilities and to indicate the present (discounted value of future profits) value. Mr. Besnette provided Table 1. Mr. Besnette's figures did not include (1) cost of research and development, (2) cost of new production equipment, or (3) cost of introducing the pina colada. The cost of…
