i need an opinion on this problem on Fair Use Doctrine.?

Professor wise is teaching a summer seminar in business torts at State university. Several times during the course, he makes copies of relevant sections from business law texts and distributes them to his seminar. Wise does not realize that the daughter of one of the textbook authors is a member of the seminar. She tells her father about Wise's copying activities, which have taken place without her father's or his publisher's permission. Her father sues Wise for copyright infringement. Wise claims protection under the fair use doctrine. Who will prevail? Explain.

The fair use statute does not give educators a blanket exemption from copyright law.

However, this instance might still fall under fair use. Here's a place to start your research:

the primary computer in a network, such as at a business or school, that individual users can for programs and data is usually refered to as a:

a. database
b. terminal
c. workstation
d. server

They are probably looking for 'server' here, but this is a poor question. 'Individual users' use workstations for programs and data, not the server, but the 'primary computer in a network' is a server.

Advise that your instructor throw this question out, or at least fix it.

Help! I need to find several books to do papers about.?

Okay, I have to write a book review for a book about or related to business law / ethics. I was thinking about "Thank You for Smoking" but I don't know if that will work out. I don't know if the book has to be nonfiction or if it can be fiction (I'm pretty sure it can be, so don't let that hold back any suggestions)
Also, I have to write a book review for a book about management (that must be no older than five years) by one of the following authors: Ken Blanchard, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Tom Peters, Kate White, Peter Senge, Stephen R. Covey, Gary Hamel, Peter Drucker, Kenichi Ohmae, or Subir Chowdhury.
I tried doing searches, but I'm so overwhelmed, that's why I thought I should ask to see if any of you had any suggestions based upon anything you have read.
Thanks alot! I appreciate your help, and just in case you were wondering, I'm asking because I have to write these for my courses (college is such a drag........)

Rosabeth M. Kanter
Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration
Rosabeth Moss Kanter holds the Ernest L. Arbuckle Professorship at harvard business school, where she specializes in strategy, innovation, and leadership for change. Her strategic and practical insights have guided leaders of large and small organizations worldwide for over 25 years, through teaching, writing, and direct consultation to major corporations and governments. The former Editor of harvard business review (1989-1992), Professor Kanter has been named to lists of the “50 most powerful women in the world” (Times of London), and the “50 most influential business thinkers in the world” (Accenture and Thinkers 50 research). In 2001, she received the Academy of Management’s Distinguished Career Award for her scholarly contributions to management knowledge, and in 2002 was named “Intelligent Community Visionary of the Year” by the World Teleport Association. Her current work continues her focus on the transformation of major institutions such as global corporations, health care delivery systems, and other organizations seeking innovative new models.

Professor Kanter is the author or co-author of 16 books, which have been translated into 17 languages. Her latest book, Confidence: How Winning Streaks & Losing Streaks Begin & End (a New York Times business and #1 Business Week bestseller), describes the culture and dynamics of high-performance organizations as compared with those in decline, and shows how to lead turnarounds, whether in businesses, hospitals, schools, sports teams, community organizations, or countries. Her classic prizewinning book, Men & Women of the Corporation (C. Wright Mills award winner for the year’s best book on social issues) offered insight to countless individuals and organizations about corporate careers and the individual and organizational factors that promote success; a spin-off video, A Tale of ‘O’: On Being Different, is among the world’s most widely-used diversity tools; and a related book, Work & Family in the United States, set a policy agenda (in 2001, a coalition of university centers created the Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award in her honor for the best research on work/family issues). Another award-winning book, When Giants Learn to Dance, showed many companies worldwide how to master the new terms of competition at the dawn of the global information age. World Class: Thriving Locally in the Global Economy identified the rise of new business networks and analyzed the benefits and tensions of globalization; it has guided public officials and civic leaders in developing strategies and skills for the economy of the future.

She has received 22 honorary doctoral degrees, as well as numerous leadership awards and prizes for her books and articles; for example, her book The Change Masters was named one of the most influential business books of the 20th century (Financial Times). Through Goodmeasure Inc., the consulting group she co-founded, she has partnered with IBM to bring her leadership tools, originally developed for businesses, to public education as part of IBM’s award-winning Reinventing Education initiative. She is an adviser to the CEOs of large and small companies, has served on numerous business and non-profit boards and national or regional commissions, and speaks widely, often sharing the platform with Presidents, Prime Ministers, and CEOs at national and international events, such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Before joining the Harvard Business School faculty, she held tenured professorships at Yale University and Brandeis University and was a Fellow at Harvard Law School, simultaneously holding a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Her latest initiative involves the development and creation of an innovative institute for advanced leadership, to ensure that successful leaders at the top of their professions can apply their skills not only to managing their own enterprises but also to helping solve the most challenging national and global problems.

Intellectual property (IP) is an umbrella term used to refer to the object of a variety of laws, including patent law, copyright law, trademark law, trade secret law, industrial design law, and potentially others. These laws provide exclusive rights to certain parties and many of them implement government-granted monopolies. Copyrights, for example, generally allow only one party to make copies of a work.

Critics of the term argue it should be avoided since it implies that the product of the intellect is subject to standard forms of property law, when the actual laws involved are extremely different. Other critics argue that the entire concept is invalid, since it tries to group many things that actually have very little in common, and thus leads to fallacious reasoning through over-generalization.
Among the laws considered to be "intellectual property" laws:

copyrights apply to creative and artistic works (e.g. books, movies, music, paintings, photographs, and software) and give the copyright holder the exclusive right to control reproduction and modification of such works for a certain period of time
patents are granted for new, useful, and non-obvious inventions and give the holder an exclusive right to commercially exploit the invention for a certain period of time (typically 20 years from the filing date of a patent application)
trademarks are distinctive signs which distinguish the products and services of different businesses and give the trademark holder the right to prevent other people from selling works which appear to be made by them
industrial design rights provide for the exclusive production of a form of appearance, style or design of an industrial object (e.g. spare parts, furniture, or textiles)
trade secrets (a.k.a. "confidential information") are secret, non-public information concerning the commercial practices or proprietary knowledge of a business and their public disclosure is sometimes illegal
Patents, trademarks, and designs rights are often referred to more specifically as industrial property.

History
The earliest use of the term "intellectual property" appears to be an October 1845 Massachusetts Circuit Court ruling in the patent case Davoll et al. v. Brown. in which Justice Charles L. Woodbury wrote that "only in this way can we protect intellectual property, the labors of the mind, productions and interests as much a man's own...as the wheat he cultivates, or the flocks he rears." (Woodury & Minot, CCD Mass. 7 F. Cas. 197, 1845).

In Europe, French author A. Nion mentioned "propriété intellectuelle" in his Droits civils des auteurs, artistes et inventeurs, published in 1846.

The term's widespread popularity is a much more modern phenomenon. It was very uncommon until the 1967 establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization, which actively tried to promote the term. Still, it was rarely used without scare quotes until about the time of the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980. [1]

The concept's origins can potentially be traced back further. Jewish law prohibits plagiarism, calling it "g'neivat d'at" (lit. stealing the mind). The crime, explains Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, is a sort of "double thievery: You steal the credit due to the person who first enunciated the idea, and then ... you deceive your listeners into thinking that you are smarter or more knowledgeable and insightful than you really are."[2]

However, the legal system of most of the Western world does not have provisions for intellectual property and the laws the term encompasses are justified on more constrained grounds. The term does not occur in the United States Copyright Statutes, except in certain footnotes citing the titles of certain Bills. The term used in the statutes and in the Constitution is "exclusive rights".

Controversy
The shift in terminology towards "intellectual property" has coincided with a more general shift away from thinking about things like copyright and patent law as specific legal instruments designed to promote the general welfare and towards a conception of ideas as inviolable property granted by natural law. This shift has led to the use of terms like piracy and theft to refer to violations of copyright laws and has underlain arguments in favor of the expansion of such laws.

Many, especially those in the free culture movement, are critical of the term and the implication behind it, preferring to characterize it as a form of intellectual protectionism or intellectual monopoly. The people using such terms often argue that the laws are so stringent that they hurt the public interest more than they help. There is particular criticism of copyright extension and patents on software and business methods. Arguments about what laws the Global South should follow are also contentious.

Others, including Richard Stallman, criticize the concept altogether. Stallman suggests that "the term systematically distorts and confuses these issues, and its use was and is promoted by those who gain from this confusion." He insists that the term "operates as a catch-all to lump together disparate laws [which] originated separately, evolved differently, cover different activities, have different rules, and raise different public policy issues." [1] Such critics prefer to refer to the various laws individually and discuss them as such and argue that there is little that is useful to say about the general collection.

The World Intellectual Property Organization itself has been criticized, including in a 2004 The Geneva Declaration on the Future of the World Intellectual Property Organization which argued that WIPO should "focus more on the needs of developing countries, and to view IP as one of many tools for development - not as an end in itself." Similarly, global harmonization of intellectual property legislation under the WTO has also been criticized, including by the alter-globalization movement.

6 Red Hot Tips To Get Your Articles Read

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, thatís their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. Itís just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesnít have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, thatís why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you wonít have a hard time because you already know what it is and what itís about. Itís just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to              remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article wonít look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a personís curiosity youíre already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, ìTips on making her want you moreî, or ìHow to make her swoon and blushî .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, ìMake her yours in six easy Waysî. These types of titles reach out to a personsí emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just donít over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Business strategies?

Some companies use different strategies in different businesses.discus this topic? Give examples from international companies?

There are number of strategies in making the business win/ overshadow others. There are different approaches in the business but also there is no specific strategy to specific business. Strategies my be influenced by, time, market environment, risks embedded in each industry and so many others. The bottom line in all businesses is to make profits. It is profits that will make the employees continue to be employed, investors invest in that business, government get revenue in the form of tax and many of the alike nature. Profit is the function of the two of factors; revenue and expenditures. The faction of profit therefore can be summarized by this logical formula( Revenue - Expenditure= Greater than 0). There are two ways in arriving to the above results; Increased revenue through higher prices( increased profit margin) or reduced production cost by utilizing minimum inputs, especially labor and high technology. From the above, strategy one may be high profit strategy which is geared by high quality products and strategy two lower price strategy which is geared by economies of scale. Economies of scale is the product of high technology. Where minimum input is employed for higher production. Coca cola product is an example of lower price strategy and Mercides benz company and Military equipment producer companies are example of high profit margin strategy.

What legal structure should I use?

I am thinking of setting up an invest club at my university. However, after reading the club financial policy, it seems we cannot actually "invest" anything as we may only purchase from approved vendors. I do not think they had this in mind when the wrote it up.

To get around this, I was wonder if it were possible to link a business to a college club. Basically, the business would be the legal entity doing the actual investing and owned by the club. Ideally, the leadership of the club would occupy the managerial positions of the business and manage its invested assets.

What legal structure should I use? I figure that this excludes sole proprietorships or partnerships; would I have to incorporate?

First of all, your college cannot restict activities undertaken by its students provided there is no connection to the college itself. So, forget about the club and approach this as purely business activity.

You are tredding on very dangerous ground when you enter the world of securities. The SEC licenses brokers, and you must set up your enterprise in such a way that it can't be said that anyone is functioning in the capacity of a broker or taking commissions. That is a good way to end of in the Gray-Wall Hotel.

The corporation idea is out, because the corporate structure is such as to provide for central management and control of all decisions and activities---too close for comfort to a brokerage operation.

If you plan too pool all investment capital and earnings as they are made ( or losses), your best option is a partnership or joint venture arrangement (only slightly less formal than a partnership). But this entails much paperwork and many formalities to be observed.

The way most people do something like this is to form a club (not a college club) that meets to discuss investment strategies, but the actual investing is done in the names of the individual members.

Keep it simple and neat.

The New Diversity Of Cosmetics

Demand for cosmetics and personal care products in general is flourishing, producing great opportunities for suppliers of all labelling products.

One of the driving forces behind this growth is the continual dynamism in the diversity of products in the end-user market, reports a new study by Frost £ Sullivan, the international marketing consulting company.

'The cosmetics and personal care packaging market still displays significant potential for growth, ' says Dr Angela Gunning, research manager at Frost & Sullivan.

Overall, the market for cosmetics and personal care packaging is a mature one, though by no means stagnant, and revenue growth is expected to rise from US$1.74 billion in 1998 to US$2.10 billion by the end of the study period in 2005, mainly fuelled by the progressive diversity of products. Frost & Sullivan's research comprises all those containers that are used for the primary packaging of products within the area of cosmetics and personal care.

Dr Gunning continues: 'The increasing variety of products is tied to the rising diversity of the product' packaging. This triggers the growing need for more flexible production. Due to technological advancements, demands for enhanced flexibility are gradually being met. With a wider range of product designs, it is necessary for machinery to be capable of a larger number of shorter production runs.'

Further factors stimulating growth in the European cosmetics and personal care packaging market include the buoyancy of the age range of the target end-user market and the improvement of the recycling potential of all packaging types.

In its review of product markets, Frost & Sullivan's study confirms the dominance of the plastic bottles sector, accounting for the largest share of all the container types in the cosmetics and personal care packaging market in terms of both volume and revenues. Boosted by the general shift in the market away from glass, the anticipated growth of the male grooming sector and the growing recyclability of plastic bottles, this market is predicted to retain its leading position up to the end of the forecast period.

The growing preference for plastic over glass, recyclability of plastic and the overall  rise in the diversity of end-user products have catapulted the plastic jars market into second place. This market has been showing positive growth in recent years and this trend is expected to continue. Meanwhile, awareness of environmental issues, coupled with the development of new market segments for tubes, coupled with the growth experienced in the market for laminate tubes, are expected to contribute to the continued successful performance of the cosmetics and personal care tubes product sector.

The largest producers of containers for the cosmetics and personal care market in terms of national markets are France and Germany, followed by Italy and the United Kingdom. Containers in the cosmetics and personal care market are increasingly customised and 'made-to-order', and there is a real desire for 'uniqueness' in the packaging of cosmetics and personal care products, Frost & Sullivan's study concludes.
