From the Paper
"One of the problems in dealing with Islamic law in the realm of international business is that Islamic law has many inconsistencies that make predictability in business matters a major concern. Additionally, the inconsistencies often vary between different sects of Islam, such as between Sunnis and Shi'ites, for example. Indeed, the lack of uniformity and consistency can be confusing and disconcerting. Sharia, which is Islamic law, proceeds by way of example rather than principle. While this does present issues to international business dealings, each of the Islamic States in the Gulf region currently has a set of codified corporate laws."

Abstract
This paper is a careful examination of the similarities and differences in the business and legal climates in the UK and U.S. It discusses how the common law heritage of most of the countries in the United States (Louisiana?s law are based largely on the Napoleonic Code) and the United Kingdom ensure a number of similarities in the manifestation of contemporary laws. It points out, however, like the electrical outlets and doorknobs in use in both countries, a sufficient number of differences exist to make direct comparisons between the two nations difficult but interesting. It explains how it has been shown that traditional contract laws in the U.K. and U.S. have both developed rules and principles that control the voluntary assumption of obligations, regulating the performance of obligations so assumed, and providing sanctions for failure to perform. The writer concludes that both countries' cultural traditions are reflective of the respective country's heterogeneity and its central importance in world affairs over the past several centuries.

Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The United Kingdom and the United States share a common heritage, language and culture. Even the U.S. Constitution itself was significantly influenced by the political concepts emerging from the U.K. at the time. Today, the two countries are staunch allies in the war on terrorism, and both countries continue to enjoy high levels of trade with each other. Notwithstanding the many commonalities between the two English-speaking nations, a sufficient amount of dissimilarities exist and a better understanding of these differences can provide some insight into how these countries engage in business today."

"Tort Reform and Business Law
Current Events
Tort reform has not resulted in much change within the American system of law. A primary problem is that as appeals to lower court decisions about the serviceability of tort reform legislation have made their way to courts of appeal, all or part of tort reform legislation is being struck down. This is mainly because courts wish to preserve "the right to a jury trial for common-law torts without limitation" (Finzen, Haley, & Shaw, 1998). The article appearing in the February 16, 1998 issue of The National Law Journal, entitled "Illinois high court latest to nix reform law," goes a long way towards framing the difficulties inherent in tort law. It seems that while allowing juries the freedom to find for huge damages may seem ludicrous.."

Abstract
Business law brings order to the world of commerce by governing all aspects of business relations from the formation of companies to day-to-day transactions. This paper provides a general overview of business law and covers issues such as socially irresponsible corporations, government regulations, anti-trust provisions and mergers and acquisitions.
From the Paper
"Corporations have a responsibility to the society in which they operate and not merely to their shareholders. They have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders and are in effect representing those shareholders in business, producing goods and services, amassing a return on the investment of the shareholders, and then returning a proper share of that return to those shareholders. If the corporation does not act with a sense of responsibility, however, that reflects badly on the corporation and so on the shareholders, reducing their return. In today's business environment, there are any number of actions which a company might take that would be perceived as socially irresponsible, and more and more companies are finding that if this does occur and is found out, the company and its shareholders suffer."

Business, Ethics and the Law, 2008.
This paper explores the role of ethics and law in today's business world.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the role of law and ethics is one directly proportional to the ability of an organization to achieve stability, efficiency and profitability. The paper examines some prominent examples of corporate collapses in recent history to demonstrate that the failure of business ethics may likely result in the failure of the organization as a whole. The paper looks at the evidence that corporate business has had an increasingly lesser interest in business ethics in favor of corruption, exploitation and short-term gratification. The paper considers solutions such as the improvement of corporate oversight and corporate regulation. The paper notes, however, that aspects of today's business world such as legislative deregulation, corporate outsourcing and globalization have made both law and ethics difficult to reconcile with market demands and pressures.
From the Paper
"In direct contrast to the current and sustained phase of economic stagnation experienced by the U.S. economy for over half a decade, the mid-1990's was a period of dramatic and unprecedented economic growth in the United States, where technological evolution and corporate expansion were together feeding a robust and seemingly unlimited skyward momentum. This would prove a false impression by the turn of the millennium, with the economy's growth as much precipitated on fraudulent corporate accounting, corrupt internal cultures and, ultimately, unsustainable organizational practices, as on actual progress. With the collapse of such major modern upstarts as Enron, Tyco and WorldCom, all of them destroyed internally by the embezzlement, misrepresentation and greed of their own leaders, it would become increasingly apparent that the presence of strong, defined and enforced business ethics codes is a determining factor in the long-term viability of corporations large and small."

Abstract
A paper which discusses the legal and ethical issues involved in operating globally. It is noticed that many multinational companies can run into trouble when establishing their businesses overseas because they fail to take local laws and culture into consideration. The paper shows that this can be avoided if the company pays attention to the religious and cultural beliefs of the people in foreign countries and also abide by the trade and business laws of those lands.
From the Paper
"It is also important to take into account their religious beliefs because religion normally plays an important role in all third world countries. For example in Pakistan, they wouldn?t allow a fast food chain to operate if it doesn?t use HALAL meat. By HALAL, they are simply referring to meat, which has been prepared according to their religious rituals. It is important thus to follow those practices because there is no chance of gaining any success if a fast food or any other restaurant chain forgets to take into account this important law. We are taking examples of restaurants only for the sake of ease and convenience in explanation of laws, but it must be kept in mind that laws applies to every business no matter what its nature is."

Abstract
This paper states that artificially adjusting wages above market rates set by the supply and demand of labor increases unemployment because, when businesses cannot pass along the higher labor costs, they often eliminate workers though decreased production or by substituting them with more efficient technologies. The author points out that minimum wage laws are less effective at reducing social exclusion and are more damaging to businesses than other alternatives such as training programs and the earned income tax credit. The paper further relates that many of the new industries in our economy, such as the software industry, Internet-based businesses, communications services and equipment and biotechnology, many problems arise when applying anti-trust laws, , including network effects and low marginal costs and high fixed costs.

Anti-trust - Microsoft
From the Paper
"Firms in new economy industries must invest great sums of money to develop their products, either in upfront research and development or in physical or virtual networks to create and deliver products. Microsoft is a natural monopoly business. Initially, it is expensive to produce software, but it is very cheap to make copies. The marginal cost of Microsoft's software is virtually zero, so average total costs decline with each copy sold. As the company established its lead, it becomes more difficult for competitors to compete against it with lower prices, since their own costs have to be recouped with fewer sales."

Abstract
This paper states that environmental issues are not mutually exclusive to private entities that try to maximize profits and that there is the common misconception that the legal environment for businesses or business regulations does not coincide with environmental law. The paper's analysis of the simulation shows that business regulation especially in industries that deal with natural resources includes many aspects of environmental law, legal ramifications associated with environmental issues, and government regulation and bodies that maintain the laws and balance between productive activity and environmental depletion.
Outline:
Introduction
Major Issues in the Simulation
Ethical Dilemma: Understanding Values and Stakeholders
What Would Legal Counsel Suggest? Current Organizational Suggestions
Risk Analysis Matrix and Ethical Dilemma Revisited
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Other noted issues in the case study relate to the fact that Alumina realizes the importance of maintaining a good public image in the community by relying on critical public relations. This becomes an important aspect of business operations in the 21st century as the society is now more 'environmentally conscious' and makes purchases or support businesses that preserve the environment.
"Legal ramifications surrounding environmental issues are also evident from the situation that developed between Bates and Alumina. Bates made the claim that Alumina was responsible for her daughter's leukaemia, the issues surrounding the allegations and the way Alumina's management team dealt with the issue highlight some very important aspects of the regulations and legal issues in the simulation."

"The oil industry is continuing to become largely an international venture, with consolidations of domestic United States operations creating attractive assets for foreign purchase. The recent attempt by the Chinese national oil company to purchase UNOCAL corporation and the Dubai World ports purchase of the company the operated many U.S. ports brought to light a half century old congressional act protecting vital domestic infrastructure. The Defense Production Act of 1950 empowered the President to block the purchase of U.S. companies by foreign corporations if national security is threatened (James & Wall, 2007, n.p.)."

The paper focuses on the British Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 that gives traders and professional persons a general right to retain their business premises so long as they comply with their obligations as tenants. The paper examines the case of Marion and her massage business, John and his 'mail order business' and Sheriff and his photography business.

From the Paper
"The aim of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Part II legislation, given by the Law Commission is to "give traders and professional persons a general right to retain their business premises so long as they comply with their obligations as tenants". Therefore, in order to ascertain whether the occupiers of Robin's flat may gain protection from the statute they must fulfil the relevant criteria stipulated in the act.
"The Law Commission also stipulates that "Landlords are not unreasonably prevented from regaining possession if they want the property for their own occupation of to redevelop it" which is relevant to Robin's intentions which may provide grounds for opposition against the tenants' potential claims."
