Abstract
This paper takes a look at the anti-trust case against Microsoft, the charges against them, and the end result of the case. It then looks at the issues for and against Microsoft, with the author's personal view suggesting that Microsoft does more good than bad.
From the Paper
"Since 1990, a battle has raged in United States courts between the United States government and the Microsoft Corporation out of Redmond, Washington, headed by Bill Gates. What is at stake is money. The federal government maintains that Microsoft's monopolistic practices are harmful to United States citizens, creating higher prices and potentially downgrading software quality, and should therefore be stopped, while Microsoft and its supporters claim that they are not breaking any laws, and are just doing good business."

Microsoft's Anti-Trust Case, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in 1993, the Justice Department (DOJ) began an investigation into the allegations that (1) Microsoft used predatory pricing tactics to destroy competitors and eliminate competition in the marketplace and (2) erected technical barriers within their operating systems to make it difficult or impossible for non-Microsoft software to run on Windows; on July 15, 1994, in a consent decree, Microsoft agreed that it would not tie other Microsoft products into its Windows operating system. The author points out that this dominance was due to Microsoft's (1) development of a common user interface, which allows users to use similar commands in each of the individual application products, (2) concept of backward compatibility so that the older versions of applications work with newer versions of the operating system and (3) integration of its individual applications allowed users to create and use data between applications such as a spreadsheet created in Excel could be imported into a PowerPoint presentation. The paper continues to describe several other anti-trust cases such as the 2004 agreement with the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) and Novell.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the environment in which the Microsoft anti-trust actions occurred, it is necessary to examine the beginnings of Microsoft. After an early career as a hacker, Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Traf-O-Data in Seattle, Washington, a company started to develop and market a machine to generate traffic flow statistics. This machine was not the success that Gates and Allen hoped for, however. It may have been the youthfulness of the owners (Gates was 16), or it may have been that the state of Washington began to offer the same services for free."

It paper examines the objective that drove the change, the factors at play which made it desirable, the main participants in the new design, and the systems development cycle approach which would have worked best had it been implemented at the start of the entire process.
Finally, the paper looks at the problems and opportunities that would have been considered by the student if he had been in charge of the design and implementation of the new procurement system.
From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly review five questions which invariably arise when assessing why a particular systems arrangement is adopted by an organization. Specifically, the paper will look at PepsiCo's objectives for any Purchase to Pay system modification it undertakes, what factors were present to motivate the company to implement the project, who were the main participants PepsiCo had to involve so as to develop the corporation's revamped Purchase to Pay system, which systems development cycle approach would have been best for the PepsiCo project and, not least of all, what problems and opportunities should have been considered in conducting the initial systems investigation? This is a fairly complex topic, but the underlying truth it reveals are not especially complex at all; to wit, the case study of PepsiCo underscores how important it is to examine every option and scenario before making detailed changes.."

Abstract
Economics is oftentimes shaped by societal conditions and political decisions. Such is the case with business operations in the United States. Antitrust laws have gradually emerged to reflect the values and perspectives of American society. This paper presents a discussion of the historical context of anti-trust laws, an examination of individual antitrust laws and amendments and an overview of the implications such regulations have had on specific companies.
From the Paper
"Just as the Sherman Antitrust Act affected some businesses, so too did the Clayton Act, its amendments, and the FTC. In the Standard Oil Co. of California and Standard Stations, Inc. versus the U.S. suit, the court declared the companies' tying agreements a violation of the Clayton Act and therefore illegal as they restricted free commerce. A similar decision was made regarding IBM after it was uncovered that the corporation required buyers of its computers to also purchase its brand-name punch cards (Dolan, 1983, pp. 253 & 254). A breach of the Celler-Kefauver Anti-merger Act was cited in a case involving Von's Grocery Company. The court ruled its merger with Shopping Bag Food Stores a violation of the Celler-Kefauver Anti-merger Act in that such an action decreased competition, albeit modestly (Dolan, pp. 252 & 253)."

"Financial risk management is an important concept in the field of management. A person with an established business, occupation or source of income can suddenly take ill, resulting in the loss of that income which depended on him to generate. This can be a serious loss for him and others who depend on the income. There are two financial instruments which are available which can continue to provide to him or his dependents financial compensation or income based on his previous investments. For monetary investments which had been paid on regular intervals, there is the instrument of life insurance. For property owned, there is the instrument of trusteeship. [Trusts & trustees 2003]."

Abstract
This paper relates that marketing is a vital part of the successful cases of BMW Films, Prozac/Paxil, Sony's EyeToy and Tivo. The author points out that, because BMW's customers are technologically oriented, BMW Films must consider marketing collateral based on pod-casts, blogs and an RSS news/advertisement campaign distributed via the Internet. The paper relates that the strategy of marketing pharmaceutical product for diseases, like "social phobia", whose discovery were at least partially funded by the major pharmaceuticals themselves, is highly effective and creates a market where previously none existed. The author underscores that the strategy of bundling the EyeToy product with Sony's existing computer game stations eliminates the consumer perception that EyeToy is a low cost device. The paper realizes that Tivo's marketing department is limited by the confines of its retail distribution and manufacturing agreements.

"BMW's target market differs somewhat with each of its product lines although in all cases its overall target market is considered affluent to some degree. For the 3 series product line, BMW's target market is described as the upwardly mobile, young professional who declaring him or herself to be on the way up the ladder of success. For the 5 series product line, BMW's target market is largely a repeat customer who has reached a degree of established success and can afford the added accoutrement of the mid-range BMW luxury product."

Anti-Trust Law, 2002.

Abstract
This paper begins by describing anti-trust law as any law restricting business practices considered unfair or monopolistic. It provides a history of the law in America's judicial system, covering the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914. The paper then discusses two key historic anti-trust cases in which the companies have been charged with anti-trust violations, American Telephone and Telegraph (1982) and Microsoft Corporation (1994 and 1998).
From the Paper
"AT&T was a natural monopoly, which needed to be broken up in order to allow others into the market. It was the only service provider at the time and in order to help improve the economy, it was important that changes be made to the status quo. Microsoft on the other hand, may be the dominant player in the world of operating systems, but there are other providers out there. Systems such as Linux and Unix are available for consumers. They may not be as user friendly as the Windows operating system, but there is a choice for the consumer. The question that needs to be asked is this: how is the consumer treated as a result of services being bundled in one package? Is the average consumer getting his money?s worth? Are these services affordable? How efficient is this method of bundling? If the answers to all these questions benefit the customer, then Microsoft and any dominant player in a business, has done well."

Abstract
The steelworkers' trilogy cases greatly changed the way that arbitration is dealt with in America. In light of this, the paper discusses and analyzes these three cases and determines what arbitration was like before and after the cases took place. This study looks at arbitration in various cases (most notably the steelworkers' trilogy) based on unfair labor practices. There is significance to this based on the fact that the way that arbitration is conducted was changed based on these cases and they made a significant difference in the way that the laws regarding arbitration were handled. Looked at here are the steelworkers' trilogy cases, the history of arbitration both before and after the cases, and the impact that these cases had on arbitration in this country.
Outline
Abstract
Introduction
Arbitration Before the Steelworkers' Trilogy Cases
The Steelworker Trilogy Cases
Case #1 - United Steelworkers of America v. American Manufacturing Co.
Case #2 - United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp.
Case #3 - United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The steelworkers trilogy cases of 1960 gained much attention at the time and remained famous for years afterward as being the most significant cases where the arbitration of grievances were concerned. In these cases, the United States Supreme Court was aware of the necessity of strict rules to keep arbitration honest and fair for all of the parties that are involved with it. One of the laws under which arbitration awards may be forced or vacated is Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, which has been used for some time in various cases. The Federal Arbitration Act also created guidelines to ensure that arbitration is fair, and there are only four circumstances under Federal law where an arbitration award may be changed or vacated under this Act."

Abstract
This document discusses the case of Alice, a high net worth customer of the Modern Security Trust Bank in which she had significant deposits. Alice constructed an encryption device based on RST encryption technology and gave the public key encryption to Frank at the bank. She kept the private key in her residence. Frank claims to have received an order to transfer a $1,000,000 to his personal bank account from Alice's bank account upon her instructions. This is an instruction that Alice claims to never have given and she insists that Frank produced the encrypted message himself. The paper explains how, on the the surface, this case appears to be a simple one of bank fraud and breech of fiduciary trust, but it is complicated by the presence of an active data encryption solution (RSA) that ensures all transactions are legitimate or are intended to be legitimate within the context of the human organization within in which it is meant to function.
From the Paper
"Modern Security Trust (MST) is a technology dependent banking institution that caters to net-worth individuals as well as clients with less spectacular incomes. At issue is a $1,000,000 deposit withdrawn from Alice, a high net-worth client of MST which was, in turn, deposited into a bank account in the Caribbean island of Nevis where it was discovered that the bank account was owned by an MST employee entrusted with the security of Alice's account."

Abstract
Trusts are viewed as competition destroyers which attempt to control the market for a product. Anti-trust laws arose out of the abuse of such trusts and these laws persevere to this day. This paper questions whether the government's enforcement is executed when the economic climate is right or whether the enforcement is occurring at regular intervals. It also questions whether certain corporations, like Microsoft, are unwitting targets of the government. The overall question in this paper is whether the enforcement of anti-trust laws harms American competition. The response lies in the history of anti-trust laws, the enforcement of such laws and the meaning of competition within economic understanding.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
The History of Anti-trust Laws
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890)
The Clayton Anti-Trust Act (1914)
The Federal Trade Commission Act (1914)
Robinson-Patman Act (1936), Celler-Kefauver Act (1950) and The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976

Has the Microsoft Anti-trust Case Helped or Hindered American Competition?
Has the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act Helped or Hindered American Competition?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1911, two decades after the Sherman Act was passed, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company exerted unlawful monopolistic authority. This was the first major court decision since the Act was passed. The two mentioned companies were forced to dissolve into smaller firms that would compete against each other. The courts have not been consistent when interpreting the meaning of monopoly power under the Sherman Act either."

The Response to Case Summary Three
From the Paper
"Organizational culture is a critical issue in contemporary organizations because it is increasingly the only method in which many competitors can differentiate themselves from their competition. According to Keyton, organizational culture can be defined in many different ways but the recurring theme among these many definitions is the assertion that organizational culture are a series of shared values and meanings regarding the common work experiences of employees (21). While Keyton and other researchers have reached some consensus on organizational culture, there is often a divergence of opinion regarding the nature of leadership within the organization and how leadership is or should be manifested within the context of organizational culture."
