Bibliography
From the Paper
"Ethics are learnt from the society and are often imposed upon an individual by the norms of that society. What is permissible ethical behavior in a society is determined by the society; the family, the company or even the law which incorporates the ethics of the society into the legislation. The motivation to follows ethics, which are not a part of the law, comes from within. Even if the law contains a matter which we may also consider ethically correct, the motivation to follow the law comes from outside the individual in the shape of compliance with the state law. Most people knew that slavery was unethical but as it was not sanctioned illegal, it continued until it was declared illegal."
"Our morals tell us the ethics, we know now as we knew before, that discrimination on the grounds of race, color, sex and religion in business transaction is ethically incorrect but the force of law was required to curb the selfishness that is present in all of us."

Abstract
Over the past few decades, there has been a dramatic change in the way that businesses and courts approach dispute resolution. Businesses are now encouraged to resolve disputes by alternative methods, such as mediation and arbitration, rather than take all disputes to court.
This paper shows that effective dispute resolution is vital to the reputation of businesses, as well to the growth of trade and investment. Many methods of dispute resolution attempt to resolve conflicts that do not involve an alleged violation of law. This paper discusses Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which refers to any form of mediation or arbitration and their use in resolving disputes and is largely used amongst companies worldwide to resolve business disputes. The paper shows that many ADR approaches are very flexible and include early neutral case evaluation, facilitation, conciliation, mediation, arbitration, negotiation, or any other dispute resolution method that may be appropriate for a particular dispute. The paper looks at the reasons behind the increasing popularity of ADR including the fact that a growing number of legal mandates require the use of mediation and arbitration to resolve disputes.
From the Paper
"Companies around the globe have used arbitration and mediation to settle a variety of disputes. For example, in the United States, arbitration and mediation are often used to settle labor disputes that are rooted in conflicting interpretations of existing employment contracts, construction disputes between general contractors and subcontractors relating to construction damage claims, or between contractors and owners relating to the nature of work and payment clauses in employee contracts, and shareholder disputes concerning the valuation of stock in closely held companies (Riskin, 1997, p. 277-279)."

Abstract
A discussion regarding how the American business world exists within the regulatory and legal environment of the American legal system.
According to the paper, the American legal system is derived from old English custom. The paper also discusses how in order to gain an understanding of business Law, one should also understand the concepts of public law vs. private law, and substantive law vs. procedural law.
From the Paper
"These two cases afford a window onto the resolution of contract disputes, as well as allowing one to examine how companies are constituted, and how they are viewed by the legal authorities. A court of law is one choice for settling contract disputes, but another is through arbitration. In both these cases, it was the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware that determined that the interests of these two enterprises would best be served by arbitration, rather than going through an involved juridical process. Arbitration differs from standard court proceedings by being, in effect, an agreement reached by the two parties, rather than imposed unilaterally by a judge, or judge and jury. Nonetheless, the importance of agreement in the case of arbitration is emphasized by the decisions of the Delaware Supreme Court in these two cases. The judges ruled on the necessity of both parties having agreed to arbitrate. In other words, arbitration cannot be forced on one party. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the regulatory environment has become overgrown with over fifty-five federal regulatory agencies, which develop, implement and enforce a myriad of regulations and issue over 2,000 new rules issued every year, resulting in many unnecessary or poorly designed regulations, which are needlessly inefficient and expensive. The author points out that the U.S. spends more than any other industrialized nation on environmental regulations, which cost close to five percent of the nation's economic output and hampers the nation's competitiveness in the world economy. The paper relates the difficulty in resolving existing disagreements over the need for regulatory reform because (1) the contending parties often disagree about the need for a regulation and (2) in many cases, the data necessary for effective risk assessment, cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses, which are necessary for effective rule-making, often are ambivalent and incomplete, depending largely on assumptions and other subjective factors.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Over the years, a number of comprehensive regulatory reform bills have been introduced in Congress addressing the principles of risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. The Thompson-Levin bill, for example, is a bipartisan, bare-bones measure that has three principal provisions: It
First, the bill would require agencies to perform cost-benefit analyses and, if warranted accordingly, conduct risk assessments. Unlike the Republican bills from 1995, the cost-benefit analysis would simply provide information to the public and would not serve as a mandatory decisional criterion. Second, the bill would require each agency that has issued a major rule in the last 10 years to establish an advisory committee that would provide non-binding advice to the agency head about rules that should be considered for revision. The agency would not be under obligation to revise any rules that are studied by them. Section 624 of this bill would require each agency to perform a risk assessment at both the proposal and final rule stages, using only "reliable and reasonably available scientific information" in these assessments."

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Legal Naturalism vs. Legal Positivism, 2002.
A comparison of laws understood to come about naturally or through some form of positive creation.
2,630 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines two of the general theories of law - legal naturalism and legal positivism, both of which have had an enormous influence on law throughout history. The first part of the paper looks at natural law which describes those diverse theories of law that do not accept human law as true law and hold that a particular "something other than the positive law is the true law". The second section examines legal positivism where one of several general theoretical traditions is based on the belief that the source of knowledge lies in experience, not in reason, nor in mind.
From the Paper
"A good example of the usefulness of classical legal naturalism can be seen in the rise of commercial law in the Middle Ages in Europe. As Glendon, Gordon, and Carozza point out, the rise of commercial law took place when Roman civil law provided no adequate coverage of new problems that arose as trade "emerged from the localism and relative economic stagnation of the Middle Ages" in the form of international banking, expanded maritime trade, and rising commercial centers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the business, political and legal environment in Canada and the need for such information if one is thinking of opening a company there. The paper explains that information about Canada's business, political and legal environment is doubly important for a law firm specializing in international business law. For instance the political environment in Canada is currently undergoing a shift from a lengthy period of liberal rule to a more conservative political government.
From the Paper
"In opening a business in Canada, it is necessary to understand the business, political, and legal environment in that country. Gaining this understanding is doubly important for a law firm specializing in international business law. The political environment in Canada is currently undergoing a shift from after a lengthy period of liberal rule to a more conservative political government. The change came at the election on January 23, 2006 when the Conservative Party led by Stephen Harper defeated the Liberal Party, making Harper the new Prime Minister and leading to a new agenda ("Canada's New Conservative Government Outlines Priorities" paras. 1-3). The new agenda is to include efforts to clean up government and to make provision for "a one-point cut in the goods and services tax, direct financial support for parents using child care, tougher sentences for violent and repeat offenders, and establishing waiting-time for medical care" (para. 4)."

Abstract
The following paper discusses theories of criminal punishment and examines the advantages and disadvantages of incapacitation. The advantages and disadvantages of community programs are also reviewed and crime prevention strategies that work, do not work, and that are promising are also discussed. Finally, this paper concludes with a proposal to improve the effectiveness of incapacitation and community programs.
From the paper:
?Supporters of deterrence believe that if punishment is imposed upon a person who has committed a crime, the pain inflicted will dissuade the offender (specific deterrence) and others (general deterrence) from either repeating the crime or from committing similar crimes. Incapacitation deprives offenders of the ability or opportunity to commit further crimes that harm society. Rehabilitation seeks to prevent future criminal behavior by providing offenders with the education and treatment necessary to eliminate criminal tendencies, as well as the skills to become productive members of society.?

Abstract
This document discusses the legal, ethical, and regulatory dimensions of operating a business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce website and of operating a business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce website. The consensus is that while many of the infrastructural solutions for these two orientations of e-commerce are the same, some very important differences, such as the regulatory requirements across industries, are dramatically different.
From the Paper
"Business-to-business (B2B) websites differ in various ways from business-to-consumer (B2C) websites from a legal, ethical, and regulatory perspective. One of the most obvious differences between the two are the fact that many B2B sites have some sort of contractual obligation to complete an order in a given time period and according to certain specifications (Luftman, 2003). In the B2C environment this same contractual undertone does not exist although e-commerce sites of the B2C variety try to limit variance in how they treat customers and fulfillment concerns as this is a quality issue."

Like other small businesses, an owner or manager of a landscaping business must have a clear understanding of entrepreneurialism, business plans, legal aspects of business in the United States, finance, and pricing. The writer explains that an understanding of these concepts can help the landscaping business owner overcome many of the potential setbacks of small business and help them enjoy the rewards that come with running a small business.
From the Paper
"Entrepreneurialism is an important concept for the manager of a small landscaping business to understand. The Global Entrepreneurship Institute defines entrepreneurialism as a person who wants to start his or her own business, as well as finding new opportunities for business and expansion at the same company. Some of the traits of entrepreneurialism include risk-taking, and personal management of that risk. Innovators, small business owners, and executives can be seen as entrepreneurs if they are in the process of creating new opportunities or products, or expanding promising areas. Notes the Global Entrepreneurship Institute, the entrepreneur's "principal objectives are profit and growth." "
