...Business Entities, Laws and Regulation Paper Earnestine Pearson BUS/415 April 23, 2012 Tony Cardillo A entrepreneur according to Cheeseman, 2010, “is a person who forms and operates a business” (p. 250). In opening and starting a business, an individual will have to decide what type of business to form, and if he, she, or they is qualified to do. Individuals must also be able to determine the different forms of business organizations. These forms include: sole proprietorship, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, and corporation. According to Cheeseman, 2010, “the selection of business forms has many factors to depend on. Factors including the ease of cost of formation, the capital requirements of the business, the flexibility of management decisions, government restrictions, personal liability, tax consideration, and the like” (p,250). In this paper, I will also discuss three scenarios: Business Professional Practices, the Extermination Business, and the Construction scenario.

...One of America’s largest forest products/paper firms with sales of $6.5Billion in 1983 and a net income of $105 million. The case study revolves around Atlantic Corporation’s intention to add linerboard capacity. In order to achieve this goal, they started looking at viable solutions, including purchasing and acquiring mill and box plants instead of through construction and fabrication of new plants and equipment. This included the possible acquisition of Royal Paper’s “crown jewels”, that is, the Monticello mill and the corrugated box plants. Is the acquisition of Royal’s linerboard mill and box plants a sound strategic move? One of the solutions was to offer a purchase of Royal Paper’s company assets, including a linerboard mill and box plant. This is a sound strategic move as Atlantic Corporation purchases 150,000 tons of linerboard from its competitors each year which could lead to problems such as lack of supply and increased cost prices. Construction of a new linerboard mill would be time consuming and the opportunity cost of lost revenue from this may exceed the benefits when the mill becomes operational. For Atlantic Corporation, it may face two scenarios: linerboard becoming unavailable or linerboard prices increase. Both these two scenarios will be detrimental to the company’s performance and should be avoided. As linerboard’s industry sales is less responsive to market movements, signifying that it is less risky, the acquisition of Royal Paper’s mill and box plants...

...Scenario 1 While looking at the Risk Corporation’s case and who is potentially liable we found some issues that may have contributed to damages done to the stockholders. Issues included: Breaking Wisconsin Disclosure Law, Shareholders filed a Derivative Action, and because of certain actions Risk Corp. lost money due to the data breach. There are several relevant laws & principles that pertain to Risk Corporation. The Business Judgement Rule could be used as a defense for Tom Lawless in response to the derivative action. The business judgement rule states that directors and officers are immune from personal liability if their actions are reasonable when made but prove to be detrimental to the corporation. Next, the Duty of Loyalty may have been broken when Lawless didn’t put the corporation's interest ahead of personal interests. This happened when the Risk Corp. didn’t disclose the potential conflict of interests regarding cyber break-ins. The Duty of Care is relevant because the directors and officers have a duty to exercise reasonable care in conducting corporate affairs. And lastly Shareholder litigation is seen here when the shareholders filed a derivative action after the discovery of the data breach and the decline of stock prices of the Risk Corporation. Scenario 2 A shareholder is part owner of a corporation based on the percentage of the corporation's stock the shareholder owns. Shareholders have the right to vote to approve any fundamental corporate changes...

...UCD CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH WORKING PAPER SERIES 2011 Ireland’s Sovereign Debt Crisis Karl Whelan, University College Dublin WP11/09 May 2011 UCD SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN BELFIELD DUBLIN 4 Ireland’s Sovereign Debt Crisis Karl Whelan University College Dublin 1 May 2011 1 This paper was presented at a workshop on "Life in the Eurozone With or Without Sovereign Default?" that took place at the European University Institute in Florence on April 14, 2011. 1 1. Introduction Among the countries currently experiencing sovereign debt crises, Ireland’s case is perhaps the most dramatic. As recently as 2007, Ireland was seen by many as top of the European class in its economic achievements. Ireland had combined a long period of high economic growth and low unemployment with budget surpluses. The country appeared to be well placed to cope with any economic slowdown as it had a gross debtGDP ratio in 2007 of 25% and a sovereign wealth fund worth about €5000 a head. Fast forward four years and Ireland is shut out of sovereign debt markets and in an EUIMF adjustment programme. Its debt-GDP ratio has soared over 100% and the sovereign wealth fund is effectively gone. In this short paper, I provide a brief review of how this rapid change came about and discuss potential future developments in relation to Ireland’s sovereign debt situation. 2. The Rise and Fall of the Celtic Tiger It is now well known that Ireland’s famed “Celtic Tiger” ended...

The framework involves five stages: mLearning activity design, requirement and constraint analysis, mLearning scenario design, mLearning technology environment design and mobile learner support services design, in which mLearning activity design plays a key role in a systematic design procedure for mLearning experience. 1. Background In China, there are more than 600 million mobile phone users and people are spending more time on the road or commuting. There is a big growth potential for mobile learning in China. Nokia recently set up China’s first interactive mobile learning service Mobiledu (www.mobiledu.cn), with the aim to enrich people’s learning experiences anytime anywhere in a most convenient way with their mobile phones. Reflecting on the design and development process of Mobiledu and other mobile learning projects, this paper describes an activity-oriented design framework for mobile learning experience, which focuses on strategies and practices to design the mobile learning experience in a systematic way instead of just dividing...
