These guidance notes discussion and accompanying questions cover an overview of Commercial Law and the context of the task of the business manager. The expectation is not for you to be a lawyer. You all are studying business. The expectation is that you perform as a business manager and understand the role of law in commercial transactions.
Please read Chapters 21 and 22 before continuing to read this module.
The Uniform Commercial Code covers commercial contracts, as well as some aspects of the common law regarding contracts. You learned about common law business contracts in BA 3301. It is important to understand that the UCC guides the business contract between two businesses–not individuals. It is important as a business manager that you fully comprehend the components of a Sales Contract and how the UCC guides those components.
Risk is a major consideration in commercial agreements. You must consider how to avoid risks in your transactions. Again, it is critical that you cover the concept and notions in Chapters 21 and 22.
There is the performance aspect of a commercial contract and there is the enforcement of the commercial contract. Distinguish between the two.
What are teh remedies for breaching a commercial contract?
What rights do buyers and sellers have under a commercial contract?
Questions:
All questions should be answered from the text readings and guidance notes in this module in relation to an analytical thought process. Practoce makes perfect for examination purposes.
A. Lilliput Carbine Company (“LCC”) desires to sell 1,000,000 parcels of plywood related in chemical solvents to Hammer Ace Flooring, Inc. (“AFI”) What are some conidereations that you as a manager might voice regarding a sales contract between the parties?
B. What result if LCC does not have adequate title to the plywood?
C. Can a sales contract between LCC and AFI be oral? Why or why not?
D. What if LCC and AFI had a course of dealing with each other in the past? Please discuss any significance of such a relationship in terms of the UCC.
E. What if AFI promised to pay $300,000 for the plywood and did not do so even though LCC shipped the same to AFI’s Georgia offices? What remedies would AFI have under the UCC?
F. What of AFI complained that the plywood was molded afetr having it sit in their warehouse for two years?
G. List other important considerations regarding Chapters 21 and 22 that you determine critical in learning commercial law.
The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in refining problem-solving capabilities that organizations already possess for use in business ethics applications. This paper uses a structured, objective format sometimes called a system of inquiry. This assignment is a systematic formalized inquiry into, or examination of, the code of ethics of an organization and its effects to achieve a specific level of ethical behavior in employees, management, and executives. Each business should have a framework for ensuring ethical behavior. The structure, format, and scope of codes vary depending on the company’s business. An oil company’s code, for example, would probably have different criteria and emphases than a health care provider’s code of ethics. Sometimes, codes of ethics are called by other names, such as an employee code of conduct. A code of ethics, though, should be differentiated from standard good operating practices.
Evaluation and analysis includes problem solving and behavior in assessing organizational ethics along with decision-making processes. In this case, you are evaluating your own company’s code of ethics, or that of another company if your employer does not have a code of ethics.
Write a 1,200- to 1,400-word paper, one not using question-and-answer format, discussing your organization’s code of ethics in detail. Perform the following steps:
- Obtain a copy of your employer’s code of ethics or find an example on the Internet from a major corporation, such as Shell Oil Company’s Statement of Ethics. This is the document upon which to base your inquiry.
- Write a general information paragraph on the company, including its mission statement.
- Determine the type of ethical system used by the firm and reasons or examples upon which you based your decisions. Ethical systems include ends-driven, relativistic, entitlement, and duty-driven (legal or religious) ethics.
- Identify and discuss how the code of ethics is used. Include several paragraphs on each use: one for employees, one for management, one for the board of directors, and so forth. Some of this information comes from the company’s code of ethics. Others may be available through an Internet search. Consider the following:
- Why it is used—the general or special circumstances
- How it is used
- When it is used
Note. You may not be able to find all the information. In that case, state this fact and indicate which sources were examined with no results.
- Why might the organization need to modify their existing code of ethics? Consider how you might modify the code if you were the new CEO and how you would implement the changes.
- What possible reactions to the code are to be expected from employees and managers? What effects does the organizational culture have on the acceptance of the code?
- What is the effect of the code on the organization?
- Summarize the results of your systematic analysis or inquiry into the code of ethics of this organization.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
- Prepare an introduction and use section headings identifying each of the steps with information and discussion following. Summarize your findings in the conclusion.
- Do not include paragraphs directly from your company’s code. Summarize what is contained in the document. Your paper may contain no more than 15% unoriginal or quoted material.
*****Copying and paraphrasing other papers or author’s words without appropriate citations and references will result in a zero for this assignment as I do not grade papers with these issues. If you have questions, please ask me.
Submit your paper to Plagiarism Checker. Submit it for review and provide a copy of the report to your facilitator with your assignment.

Advanced 3G systems like LTE and 802.16e (WiMax) use OFDM. So do all potential 4G systems like LTE-Advanced and 802.16m. Even digital video broadcasts are now OFDM. Prior 3G standards, like UMTS and EVDO, predominantly used CDMA.
- Why has this shift occurred?
- Do you feel it is for the better?
- What specific cross-layer optimizations are unique to OFDMA?
- How have these affected this migration?
- Why did standards such as GSM and TDMA flourish before?
- Would a different solution have made better sense?
- What trends do you see?
DB 3
In recent years, the FCC and other bodies around the world have been removing spectrum dedicated to analog TV transmission and giving this spectrum for other uses. This tends to be low frequency spectrum that is highly desirable.

Musical Characteristics To Listen For
Timbre – the individual color of a sound; the “soundprint” of a musician, instrument, or voice. Many adjectives are used to describe the tone color of a voice or an instrument. Timbre is important for us to recognize as each instrument and voice has its own unique color(s) of sound.
Beat or Pulse – the basic quarter note primary rhythm that is constant throughout a song.
Tempo – the rate of speed (fast or slow) that the basic pulse or beat is occurring. A metronome is a device that can lock in a specific tempo such as 120 beats per minute.
Meter or Time Signature – the number of beats per measure of music i.e. 4/4 time.
The majority of all popular music worldwide is in 4/4 time.
In 4/4:
The top number indicates how many beats there are (like the numerator in a fraction) per measure of music—in this case, 4 beats per measure of music.
The bottom number indicates what kind of beats they are (like the denominator in a fraction)—in this case, quarter note beats.
In many non-western cultures music is organized in cycles containing more beats that just 4. These metric cycles (such as the Tala in India) contain as many as 10, 12, or 16 beats per cycle.
Rhythms – the infinite variety of note lengths and rests in music. Students should listen for repeated rhythmic patterns in music.
Polyrhythm – When two or more different rhythms sound at the same time.
Ostinato – a recurring musical figure (commonly a rhythmic pattern of just a few notes) that can serve the underlying repeated foundation in a song, or as the basis for an entire music composition.
Riff – a repeated pattern that generates rhythmic momentum; and because of its repetition, can also serve as a melody.
Hook – a memorable musical phrase or riff.
Groove – a term that evokes the channeled flow of “swinging” or “funky” rhythms; it is the “feel” of the rhythmic flow.
Pitch – the number of beats per second that the inner ear vibrates determines the pitch we actually hear (the frequency).
This frequency is measured in hertz (Hz).
“A” 440Hz is higher than “A” 220Hz.
Scale – An ascending and/or descending series of notes of different pitch. Songs and other music compositions are typically “built” from the notes of particular scales. Scales such as the chromatic, major, minor, pentatonic, and blues scales are important types used in Western Art Classical music and in popular genres like folk, blues, jazz, country, and rock.
Melody – a sequence of pitches usually heard in the foreground of the music. Also called a “tune”.
Harmony – the series of chords or individual notes that support a melody.
Dm7 G7 C (D minor7 to G dominant7 to C Major) D minor7 to G dominant7 to C Major7 D minor7 to G dominant7th with an added 9th to C Major7

Harmony is common in all popular music (rock, pop, blues, jazz etc.) and in western classical music.
Harmony is not used as the basis for music composition in many non-western cultures such as the Northern Hindustani and Southern Karnatak classical music of India, and in the Gamelan music of Indonesia.
Consonance – A combination of pitches (tones) that seem stable and restful to the ear.
Dissonance – A combination of pitches (tones) that seem unstable and tense to the ear.
A Quick Listen to Examples of Consonance and Dissonance
Dynamics – the volume (loud and soft) level in music.
In Western classical music the designation “f” is Forte = Loud
In Western classical music the designation “p” is Piano = Soft
Listen for changes in Dynamics – this can be gradual or sudden.
Crescendo is a gradual increase in volume.
Decrescendo (diminuendo) is a gradual decrease in volume.
Subito Forte – is when the music is suddenly loud.
Subito Piano – is when the music is suddenly soft.
Musical Texture – music can have a variety of different textures. Think of what it is like when you pick up and hold one single sheet of paper between your fingers. Compare that to holding 2, 3, 4, or 5 sheets of paper between your fingers. You can easily feel the difference in textures—one sheet is thin and light in weight; while the two or more sheets feel more dense and weighted. Music shares this textural characteristic.
Monophonic texture is when the music only has one note sounding at a time – this is common in most forms of Chant. (one single sheet of paper)
Polyphonic texture is when the music has two or more notes sounding at a time – this is the texture we hear in most of the music we experience. (two or more sheets of paper)
Choose a rock n roll song and prepare a handout such as PowerPoint, Prezi, WORD, or Keynote for the seminar students that include the following:
•Material facts about the song such as the title, the name of the band or performing artist, the musicians and their respective instruments or voice, the composer(s), the recording dates, record label, the style “genre” of Rock represented, etc.
•Connections between the song and society
•The importance of the primary performer of the song
•A history of the song such as considerations of other performers who may have also recorded it—a cover song
•List any musical characteristics you notice in the music such as tempo, texture, timbres, mood conveyed, meter, dynamics, improvisational style, etc.
•Your connections to the song – its meaning for you, its identity
During the global recession of 2008 and 2009, there were many accusations of unethical behavior by Wall Street executives, financial managers, and other corporate officers. At that time, an article appeared that suggested that part of the reason for such unethical business behavior may stem from the fact that cheating has become more prevalent among business students. The article reported that 86% of business students admitted to cheating at some time during their academic career as compared to 77% of non-business students.
Cheating has been a concern of the dean of the College of Business at Rocky University for several years. Some faculty members in the college believe that cheating is more widespread at Rocky than at other universities, while other faculty members think that cheating is not a major problem in the college. To resolve some of these issues, the dean commissioned a study to assess the current ethical behavior of business students at Rocky. As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 90 business students from this year’s graduating class. Responses to the following questions were used to obtain data regarding three types of cheating.
During your time at Rocky, did you ever present work copied off the Internet as your own?
Yes
No
During your time at Rocky, did you ever copy answers off another student’s exam?
Yes
No
During your time at Rocky, did you ever collaborate with other students on projects that were supposed to be completed individually?
Yes
No
Any student who answered Yes to one or more of these questions was considered to have been involved in some type of cheating. The complete data set is in the file named Rocky.
Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) for the dean of the college that summarizes your assessment of the nature of cheating by business students at Rocky University. Be sure to include the following seven (7) items in your report.
1. To summarize the data, compute the proportion of all students, male and female, who presented work copied off the Internet as their own, copied answers off another student’s exam, or collaborated with other students on projects that were supposed to be completed individually. Then comment on your findings.
2. Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students–the proportion of male students and the proportion of female students–who were involved in some type of cheating.
3. Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students–the proportion of male students and the proportion of female students–who were involved in copying off the Internet.
4. Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students–the proportion of male students and the proportion of female students–who were involved in copying off another’s exam.
5. Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students–the proportion of male students and the proportion of female students–who were involved in collaborating on what was meant to be an individual project.
6. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of business students at Rocky University who were not involved in some type of cheating is less than that of business students elsewhere. Use ? = 0.05.
7. What advice would you give to the dean based upon your analysis of the data?
