elements of a legal contract
1. Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.
Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed.
The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.
Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman.
Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.
In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented, the material provided in the text, and material covered in the lecture. In your paper, be sure to address the following:
1. Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.
2. Decide whether or not there was a contract for the purchase of the automobile.
3. Identify the facts from the scenario which support your decision on whether or not a contract exists for the purchase of the automobile.
4. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as quality academic resources.
5. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
5. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
5. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
5. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

MGT211: Human Resource Management case study
Assignment Assignment 1 MGT211: Human Resource Management Assignment No: 1: CASE STUDY Submission Date by students: Before the end of Week- 9th Weight: 5 Marks
Tony has been director of human resources at TEAM FUN! A sporting goods manufacturer and retailer, for three months. He is constantly amazed that the company does so well, considering that everything is so loose.
Nothing is documented about job roles and responsibilities. People apparently have been hired because Kenny and Norton, the owners and founders, liked them or their relatives.
Tony is lunching with Mary, a friend from college who now manages the human resource function for a large financial investor. Tony tells Mary, “I don’t know if I should quit or what. They both got mad at me last week when I suggested smart cards for security. The employee handbook looks like a scrapbook from their kids’ high school football days . . . no, their high school football days. No one has job descriptions. I don’t get it.
Everyone likes working there. The job does get done. Am I the one with the problem?”
Mary replies, “Couldn’t be you! It does sound like a great place to work. Has it grown fast in the past few years?”
“Unbelievably,” Tony says. “It had 25 employees 5 years ago, now we have nearly 150.”
“That’s probably part of it,” Mary answers. “Remember how Dr. Smith said in his class that you could get by without a formal human resource structure up to about 100 employees?”
“Yeah. That was a great class! I met my wife in that class! We did lots of team exercises and projects,” Tony sighs.
Mary nods. “Anyway, maybe you could begin with writing your own job description. That would be a start.”
“Then I could talk about formal job evaluation processes.”
Tony cheers up. “That’s a great idea. Have you used QUICKHR, the new software tool?”
Mary shakes her head. “No, but a package is a good idea. What’s your current HRIS like?” Tony laughs until he can’t catch his breath.
Mary continues, “Okay. That’s another place you could start.”

Questions: 1. Help Tony write his job description. 2. How should he conduct the job analysis? 3. What should he say to Kenny and Norton to ensure their buy-in on this project? 4. How will job descriptions change the organization?
Literature Review Paper on sources related to Hagia Sophia building, Istanbul
Literature Review Paper
Assignment Overview – The first step in any research project is to understand what has already been writtenabout that topic. The universe of previous interpretations and investigations is what constitutes the “literature”on a particular topic, and you or I can’t contribute meaningfully to the conversation about that topic without a thorough understanding of the literature. For that reason, a key part of any research project is a “literature review.”
In a thesis project, even at the undergraduate level, a literature review might take the form of a long essay, dealing with scores of sources. We won’t attempt anything of that scope in this class. Rather we’ll focus on some of the basic skills involved in reviewing the literature, using a limited number of sources. It doesn’t sound exciting, but it gets more interesting if you’re reading your sources critically. Moreover, good academic writing depends on your ability to evaluate sources critically.
For this project, you will discuss four sources related to a particular building. (Hagia Sophia, Istanbul)
Once you have chosen your building, you will need to locate sources. You should consult the bibliography in the textbook as a starting point, but you will probably want to do searches in a number of academic databses. For the purposes of this assignment, you are also required to do a general internet search (to “Google” your topic) and find a non-academic web-site that deals with your building. This can be a Wikipedia page. All-told, you should have at least four sources:
Two academic papers from journals
One discussion of the building in a book
One non-academic or quasi-academic online discussion
Once you’ve read these sources carefully, you should have a pretty good command of the Subject Matter Knowledge you need. This, of course, will be built on the general knowledge of the building or its type gained in class. Analysis and Genre Knowledge (what you will write) – Once you’ve done your research the problem is to format it as literature review. This means doing some analysis. Is each source reliable? What points is each author trying to make? What kinds of information (if any) do they use to support their argument? How do they use images to support their argument? Are there disagreements between them? Your job is to take your insights into these issues and organize them comparatively into a discussion of approaches to the topic.
Synthesis and Rhetorical Knowledge (who will you write for) – Obviously, this is an academic paper, but ideally you need to have a reason to be comparing these sources, beyond the fact that you were assigned to do so. I’d like you to assume that you are developing your literature review for a larger case study project with the goal of building a new example of that type. You should assume that you are writing because you have a commission from a rich and powerful client who wants to fund construction of the type of building you’re studying. Obviously, you don’t know enough about this client to tailor your message to their specific interests. Nevertheless, you should think about communicating your research to someone who actually wants to build. This should help you decide what information is really central and what points may be left out.
A good example of rhetorical knowledge in this case would be to recognize that there is no need to include the introductory paragraph of the traditional threeparagraph essay. You can get right into the topic without any “throat-clearing” about “since the beginning of time,” or whatever you might be tempted to write as an introduction.
Writing Process Knowledge (how you will write) – I’ve written this brief with a lot of second person pronouns. Focusing on what YOU need to do in this assignment. The paper itself would be primarily descriptive and therefore in third person. This is an example of writing process knowledge, using knowledge of the genre and the rhetorical situation to make judgments about how you should phrase things and organize your thoughts. Another example is using proper names and references to make sure the reader understands which of your sources you’re describing at any particular point in the paper. Writing Process Knowledge also includes basic mechanics (spelling, grammar, punctuation) and proper citation and bibliography format.Grading will be based on your success in addressing all of the kinds of knowledge listed in bold above. Here are the percentages:
Subject matter knowledge 50%
Genre knowledge 10%
Rhetorical knowledge 10%
Writing process knowledge 30% (includes spelling, grammar, citation format)
The paper should be no more than 1500 words. Use a standard font . All sources you consult should be listed under “References” at the end of your assignment. This bibliography should be in MLA format, as should any parenthetical citations within the text. Note that quotes from your sources must be properly formatted within the text and given correct citations. Failure to meet this requirement will be considered plagiarism and could result in trouble you do not want to have.
