I’ll illuminate the antitrust law and how impact the competition between firms.

Law And Business Decisions The law affects business decisions in many aspects, the employment law and the prohibited practices by the business owners and managers keep the workforce, fair and productive, the employment law prevents the business owners and managers to make decisions based on the individual characteristics such as race, sex, age, and religion (EEOC). The minimum wages played as a strong element in business location decision, by making a comparison between the states that have best business growth and states that have lowest business growth will see the minimum wages in states with high business growth is lower than other states. The antitrust law impact on business decisions, especially in the pricing, if the company charges less or more or the same price, would be accused of monopoly (Younkins, 2000).

Employment Law and Business Decisions
The employment law prohibits many practices by business owners and mangers decisions based on race, color, sex, religion, age, to keep the workforce, fair and productive, the employment law also protects the employee who filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation from retaliation (EEOC). The employment law secures workers from the business owners

    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.…
