LLM FOUNDATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL LAW

Description

‘Much time and effort has gone into the harmonisation of substantive areas of commercial law. However, apart from one or two notable exceptions, such instruments have been conspicuous failures. The fact is that individual states should be allowed to compete for legal business….. If there has to be interference by international actors, it should be focused on harmonising conflict of law rules dealing with choice of law, jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments. This is the only way certainty can be achieved.’ Discuss. Format: Font Size: 12 Point Font Type: Times New Roman Line Spacing: 1.5 Left and right hand margins: 1.25” Top and bottom margins: 1”

Marketing plan and Marketing Budget

This assignment consists of two sections: -a marketing plan (Word document) and -Marketing Budget (Excel document) Note: You must complete both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Please complete this assignment for the “Zerocal” company in continuation of the attached: For the first 6 months your company, Zerocal, is in business—to give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own community, a radius of 25 miles from where you live (Ashburn, Virginia). Section 1: Marketing Plan and Sales Strategy (MS Word or equivalent) Write the 4-page marketing plan and sales strategy section of your business plan in which you do the following for the company Zerocal: Define your company’s, Zerocal’s, target market: -Analyze the types of consumers who will be drinking your beverage in demographic terms (i.e., age, education level, income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). -Outline the demographic information for your company. -Support your analysis with actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local community (nearby zip codes to Ashburn, Virginia). Hints: At American FactFinder (http://factfinder.census.gov), you will find demographic information on potential consumers in your area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in your local area. You will find information about such businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). Check Chapter 2 of Successful Business Plan for more research sources. -Assess your company’s market competition. -Use the factors listed in the course text graphic (“p. 123 | Assess the Competition” named document attached) to assess your company’s market competition. -Defend your plan to differentiate yourself from the competition using the information detailed on the worksheet in the text (“p. 131 | Market Share Distribution” named document attached). Hints: Every business faces competition, and the non-alcoholic beverage market is an especially crowded market.

Newcomers in mature markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks. -Clarify your company’s message using the information provided on the worksheet in the text (“p. 160 | The Five F’s” named document attached). Create a marketing slogan/tagline for your product.

Remember that even if you’re selling through grocery stores, you need to build your brand and social media is a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the marketing tactics that beverage companies use include sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social media, sponsoring events, and exhibiting at trade shows attended by retailers. You will use a combination of these tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media networks and those of the grocery store. Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers, describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force. For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at these shows.

Homeland Security Enterprise

This written assignment is comprised of addressing intelligence related to homeland security and you will develop a research paper on this topic of 5-6 full pages (not counting the title page and reference list): ******** Both questions must be answered ******** What are the capabilities and limitations of domestic intelligence efforts in supporting the homeland security enterprise? Do you feel that the U.S. is appropriately structured and resourced to adequately provide timely, accurate and actionable domestic intelligence to support the entire spectrum of intelligence users (customers) from the Federal government down to state and local agencies (both now and into the future)? This paper should provide an examination of the various elements that comprise U.S. domestic intelligence efforts (from local law enforcement to national intelligence agencies) and how those entities contribute to the supporting the homeland security enterprise in collaboratively protecting American Citizens. In crafting your paper, it would be good to remember the lessons learned from the 9/11 Commission on the difficulties of getting various agencies from all three levels of government to collaborate as well as intelligence sharing lessons/recommendations. Also, address the capability of the homeland security enterprise to adequately identify and address future challenges. In developing your response, you should address challenges of providing for homeland security while maintaining civil liberties as well as emerging trends and patterns such as homegrown terrorism and the proliferation of communication encryption technologies. remember that “homeland security” is made up of much more than just DHS. That agency is only one part of a larger Homeland Security Enterprise that includes [DHS] Departmental leaders and components [the 7 field agencies including USCG, CBP, ICE, USSS, etc], state, local, tribal, territorial and private sector partners and other… https://www.dhs.gov/strengthening-homeland-security-enterprise as well as many other essential federal agencies that play a role in HLS, such as the very important DOJ where the FBI is the lead agency for countering terrorism in the US (not DHS). Of importance in this paper is the role of the FBI as both a federal law enforcement arm, as well as its role as a a domestic focused intelligence organization. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and that you focus your paper on answering the assigned questions. This assignment is a research paper, not an opinion paper, so you need to use scholarly sources to support your thesis. Use formal academic writing and do not use the first person such as ‘I’ or ‘my’; see the OWL site on academic writing style (using appropriate language). Make sure you use APA style in-text parenthetical citations at the end of every sentence where you are quoting another’s ideas (or any information) that is not your own thoughts and words, like this (Bergen, 2015, para 14). Citations are required for paraphrases as well, but not the page or paragraph number in that case. You are welcome to use supplementary sources to compliment the assigned readings based upon your research, but make sure you use only scholarly and credible sources (do not use open websites and you never want to use Wikipedia for a college level paper). Also, dictionaries and encyclopedias as well as general news sites (like CNN) are not appropriate for college level research papers. A good example of what NOT to use is NSA.Gov1.info (which some students have tried to use in research papers), not only is it not the NSA webpage, the site loaded with bogus information and if you scroll down to the bottom it says “This is a parody of nsa.gov and has not been approved, endorsed, or authorized by the National Security Agency or by any other U.S. Government agency.” Also, do not cite the weekly lessons as those are only basic information to start off the topic with. Requirements: – Written according to the APA style and format (parenthetical in-text citation formats only; not end notes or footnotes); – Use Times New Roman 12 point font; – 1 inch margins on all sides with no paragraph indentation other than the first line by .5 inches – Double space all text (no extra lines or spaces after a paragraph or section headings and no added font sizes or lines either)
