BUS706 International Business Law and Ethics
BUS706 International Business Law and Ethics Task 2: Problem Solving Assignment DUE: Midnight, Friday 17th May Total Marks: 40 marks (40% of overall assessment) Word Limit: 2000 words maximum Submission: Electronically on Blackboard under the Assessment tab. Key Information: Ensure you follow the IRAC structure when you are addressing each legal element. Issue • What is the legal issue you are considering in this element? Rules • What are the relevant legal rules and principles used to determine whether this element or defence is satisfied? • Ensure you cite the relevant legislation or international instrument. Application • In this section we apply the legal rules to the factual scenario we are considering. • How do the rules apply in this scenario? Why are the legal rules satisfied/not satisfied? Conclusion • Based on the legal rules and their application to this scenario, what is the outcome of this scenario? It is not enough simply to detail a legal rule or to merely apply the law to the scenario – you must do both of these things. This is how you demonstrate your knowledge of the law and your capacity to apply it. Merely reproducing the facts produced in the assignment problem will not attract marks. While you are required to draw upon the facts of the scenario to apply the law to these circumstances, lengthy repetition of the facts will detract from rather than increase the quality of your piece. Dot-points responses are unacceptable. Your response should be in full sentences and contain proper and accurate spelling, grammar and sentencing. There is study support available from USC if you need assistance with proofreading or writing your answer. Cite all sources used in writing this assignment. This includes referencing the relevant sources of law, any books, journals, websites or any other resource used. You must use the Harvard referencing style – see the Harvard Referencing Guide for more information. This is an individual assignment. DO NOT work with classmates to answer these questions. Your responses are checked for plagiarism at submission, including any similarities to the assignments submitted by fellow students. If you require more information on plagiarism or collusion, please visit the USC Academic Integrity webpage and the Academic Integrity Policy. Academic Misconduct is taken seriously and will be punished. BUS706 International Business Law and Ethics ATMC Assignment Question Part One Black Diamond Ltd (‘Black Diamond’) is an elite jewellery shop located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, that sells a range of high-quality jewellery. Black Diamond has a reputation for beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs for rings, necklaces and earrings that allows them to charge high prices for their merchandise. Following a slump in business after the Global Financial Crisis, Black Diamond try to draw customers back in by selling their rings at half of their ordinary price for a six-month period between 1 January 2020 – 30 June 2020. In order to prepare for this sale period, Black Diamond begin to purchase high quantities of precious gemstones so they can begin transforming them into unique jewellery worthy of the Black Diamond name. Garnet Martinez, Black Diamond’s Managing Director, is put in charge of purchasing gemstones on the instruction that she only buy the finest quality available. Garnet gets in contact with Greg Universe of Universe Gems Pty Ltd to discuss: From: Garnet Martinez (martinez@blackdiamond.com.au) To: Greg Universe (universe@universegems.com) Subject: Gemstone Purchase - Inquiry Date: 1 May 2019 Dear Mr Universe, I represent Black Diamond, a jewellery store in Australia. I am seeking to purchase a number of high quality gemstones that meet the CL-1 standard of the Australian Classifications of Gemstones. I am looking to purchase 500 white diamonds, princess cut. Can you please confirm you have these gemstones available that meet the CL-1 standard and advise of a price? I would need these delivered to Brisbane by 1 June 2019. Sincerely, Garnet Martinez Managing Director, Black Diamond Greg responds to Garnet a few days later. From: Greg Universe (universe@universegems.com) To: Garnet Martinez (martinez@blackdiamond.com.au) Subject: RE: Gemstone Purchase - Inquiry Date: 4 May 2019 Hi Garnet, Yes, we have some CL-1 standard princess cut white diamonds, available for immediate purchase! We will require the full purchase amount of 1 million dollars (USD) up front, our bank details can be found on our website. As we are based in Romania, the diamonds will take 2 weeks to arrive but will get there before 1 June 2019. They will be shipped as per the Incoterm Rules 2010. How does that sound? Greg Garnet was pleased with Greg’s response, 1 million dollars (USD) for the type of diamonds she asked for was a very good price. Assured that Greg’s gemstones met the CL-1 standards that all Black Diamond jewellery uses, Garnet immediately transfers the full 1 million dollars (USD) to Universe Gems. On May 20, Garnet gets an email from one of the employees of Black Diamond who received and inspected the shipment they were sent by Universe Gems. The employee, Rose, was dismayed to find that the diamonds they were sent were not diamonds at all, but actually, cubic zirconias. Cubic zirconias are a cheap alternative to diamonds that are often used in costume jewellery. While they look like diamonds, any jewellery expert would be able to tell that the diamonds were cubic zirconias and not real diamonds. Distraught, Garnet contacts Greg via phone to ask for her money back. Greg dismisses Garnet’s concern, saying ‘if you don’t tell the customers, they won’t know! It’ll be fine!’ PART ONE: ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS Considering the operation of international sales law, advise Garnet: 1. Does the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (‘CISG’) govern the agreement between Black Diamond and Universe Gems? Why/Why not? (4 Marks) 2. Have Black Diamond and Universe Gems entered into a contract? Outline the required elements of a contract under the CISG. (5 Marks) 3. Have Black Diamond and Universe Gems successfully incorporated an Incoterm into the proposed contract? Why/Why Not? (2 Mark) 4. What remedy would be most appropriate in this circumstance? Explain your answer with reference to the CISG. (4 Marks) Part Two After the failure of their contract with Universe Gems, Black Diamond asks Garnet to once more purchase gems for the use in their sale period. This time, they tell her not to worry about finding gems that meet the CL-1 standard as they are running short on time and need to start on production of the rings as soon as possible. Additionally, Black Diamond has received some bulk orders for jewellery featuring gemstones other than diamonds. Black Diamond also requests that Garnet orders these stones at the same time. Garnet gets in contact with Crystale, a gem company based in Belarus with a world-famous reputation for quality gemstones. Garnet and a representative make a contract over the phone and agree to the following terms: Black Diamond will purchase from Crystale: • 500 White Diamonds, Princess Cut • 100 Amethysts • 100 Pearls Crystale promises to send one sample of each stone to Black Diamond by the 1 July 2019 so that Black Diamond can see the quality they will be receiving. Black Diamond agrees to pay 2 million dollars (USD) for the merchandise, half upon approval of the samples and half upon delivery. Crystale and Black Diamond also agree that the gemstones will be transported by boat, CFR (Port of Brisbane) as per the Incoterm Rules 2010. The full delivery is to be made by 1 August 2019. Garnet receives the sample gemstones a few weeks later, each one is flawless and exactly the quality, type and cut she requested. Garnet contacts Crystale, requesting shipment of the gemstones and deposits the first half of the money, 1 million dollars (USD), into their bank account. Although the main office of the company is located in Belarus, Crystale has a warehouse located in Melbourne, Australia. The gemstones are shipped from Melbourne to the Port of Brisbane via boat. On 20 July 2019, Rose, an employee at Black Diamond receives a message that there is merchandise available for pickup at the Port of Brisbane. Rose completely forgets about the message and never organises a pickup. The merchandise is left for two nights at the Port of Brisbane. On the night of the 22 July 2019, the Port of Brisbane is broken into and all 100 Pearls from the shipment are stolen by robbers. The staff of the Port of Brisbane call Black Diamond on the 23 July 2019, inform them what happened and insist they collect their merchandise the same day. Upon receiving the merchandise at the Black Diamond warehouse, Garnet inspects the shipment and discovers that the 500 diamonds are all varying colours and cuts, although all are high quality diamonds, they do not match the sample Garnet was sent. Furthermore, 10 of the amethysts were lost at sea and 30 of the 100 amethysts arrived damaged due to the poor packaging of the stones by Crystale. Garnet contacts Crystale on 23 July 2019 and claims they are in breach of their contract, refusing to pay the second payment of 1 million dollars (USD) to complete the contract. PART TWO: ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS Considering the operation of international sales law, advise Garnet: 5. Does the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (‘CISG’) govern the agreement between Black Diamond and Crystale? Why/Why not? (5 Marks) 6. What is ‘CFR? How does ‘CFR’ apply to this agreement? Is Crystale liable for the robbery of the 100 Pearls at the Port of Brisbane? Explain your answer. (5 Marks) 7. Under the ‘CFR’ term, did Crystale need to provide insurance for the merchandise? (1 Mark) 8. Garnet has accused Crystale of breaching their contract. Consider each of the following issues and determine whether Crystale has breached their obligation? (a) The diamonds that do not match the sample Crystale provided (3 Marks) (b) The damaged amethysts due to poor packaging (4 Marks) (c) The amethysts lost at sea (2 Marks) 9. What remedy would be most appropriate to solve the breaches in Question 8 (a)-(c)? Explain your answer to each issue with reference to the CISG. (5 Marks) END OF ASSIGNMENT

Background: Colonialism, both physically expansionist and economic, has caused cultural changes in many countries throughout the world in the last 500 years. One example is in Australia where the dominant culture post-colonisation has been Anglo-European. Australia’s first people, our indigenous Australians have become a minority culture. This has caused many cultural changes within Australia. Conflict, war and natural disasters have led to an increase in migration- the movement of people around the world. This has also caused many cultural changes within countries. One example of this is the increase in refugees to the United Kingdom. Across the world, there have been changes in power, authority, progress and benefits between the dominant cultures and the minority cultures within a country, though many cultural traditions and lifestyles continue for the dominant and minority cultures.

The aim of this assignment is to examine the market for lithium, the firms that mine for lithium and related markets. Lithium is a key ingredient in the manufacture of lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles, large battery storage units, and electronic devices like mobile phones and laptop computers. The assignment will draw on your understanding of some of the key concepts and models we have studied in chapter 4 together with some broader reading of Chapters 5 & 14-17 of Gans et al. (2018). Ensure your responses to the assignment questions use economic terminology and analysis. Question 1 – Summary and Analysis of Article i. Read the following articles that appeared in The Economist magazine and on Mining.com. The links to both articles appear below: ? https://www.economist.com/business/2017/11/25/australia-is-the-new-frontier-for- battery-minerals ? http://www.mining.com/web/lithium-supply-demand-story/ Provide a 150-200 word summary of each article, outlining the main features of each. (4 marks) ii. In chapters 14 – 17 of Gans el al. (2018) we study the 4 market structures, their characteristics and behaviours. Which market structure best describes the market for lithium here in Australia or across the world? Justify your response by linking what you’ve read in the articles listed in part (i) and more broadly through other sources, to the key features that define that market structure in your textbook. [N.B.This question will require you to read ahead to Chapters 15, 16 & 17 covered in Weeks 9 and 10]. (4 marks) 3 Question 2 – Data and Analysis (Source: Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, 2018) i. Consider the chart (above) of Lithium Carbonate prices and focus specifically on the Global weighted average price (red series). Discuss the pattern in global lithium prices over the past 3 years. (2 marks) ii. Identify and discuss 2 economic factors that help to explain the broad trend and/or broad changes in the trend in lithium carbonate prices over the 3 year period from 2016-2018. (2 marks) 4 Question 3 – The Market for Lithium This question requires you to draw your diagrams electronically using the Insert ? Shapes feature in MS Word or MS Powerpoint. i. Consider the market for lithium. Using a single, fully-labelled demand and supply diagram, illustrate the combined demand and supply effects that have taken place in the lithium market over the past 3 years. Discuss the factors that have driven the changes to demand and supply and the effect on equilibrium price and quantity. [Note: You do not need to use actual data for this diagram and you can assume the market is competitive as assumed in Chapter 4 of Gans et al. (2018)]. (4 marks) ii. Using a fully-labelled demand and supply diagram representing the market for oil, illustrate the likely long-term effects that the lithium market might have on the market for oil. Provide an explanation of your analysis as well as the relationship between the two markets. [Note: You do not need to use actual data for this diagram and you can assume the market is competitive as assumed in Chapter 4 of Gans et al. (2018)]. What effect might the increasing availability of lithium over time have on the own-price elasticity of demand for oil?

MIS171 Business Analytics
DEAKIN COLLEGE in association with DEAKIN UNIVERSITY MIS171 Business Analytics Assignment One T1 2019 Marks: 20% Due Date: 6 pm, Sunday 14 April 2019 Please submit the electronic copy to the portal. Process to be advised by your lecturer. Background This is an individual assignment, which requires you to analyse a dataset, interpret the results and then report your findings to a person with little or no knowledge of statistical data analysis. The assignment uses the file “Assignment 1 and 2 DATASET - Cleveland.xlsx” which can be downloaded from the MIS171 section in Moodle (in the Deakin College Portal). Scenario Cleveland Corp. is an American car parts manufacturer with a factory in Adelaide which employs 2,000 people. The company wishes to study its full?time workforce by developing an employee profile that measures factors such as salary, job satisfaction, and career progress. You will be playing the role of Jessica Chen, a Senior Analyst at the company. Senior management of Cleveland Corp has asked you to conduct a survey of their employees. You decide to take a random sample of 450 staff and conduct the survey via company internal mail. The results are saved in the data set “Assignment 1 and 2 DATASET - Cleveland.xlsx”. Michelle Wang, Human Resources Manager at Cleveland, has written to you regarding the Cleveland employee survey. Her letter to you is reproduced below. MIS171 Business Analytics Assignment One, Trimester 1 2019 1 For Attention: Jessica Chen, Senior Analyst 01/02/2019 From: Michelle Wang, Human Resources Manager Regarding: Analysis of employee survey Dear Jessica, Regarding the recently collected data from the Cleveland Corp’s employee survey, please provide me with answers to the following questions. Your responses will assist our department in constructing the employee profile required by senior management. 1. Please provide an overall summary of employees’ salaries. 2. Please provide an estimate of the proportion of employees who are either “Moderately Satisfied” or “Very Satisfied” with their job at Cleveland Corp. 3. Senior management is also interested in how salary is related to gender. Does there appear to be any relationship between an employee’s salary and their gender? 4. Can you please provide an overall summary of how Cleveland Corp employees rated their relations with the management? 5. Senior management is interested in which numerical variables, (if any) seem to influence an employee’s salary. Please provide a summary of these relationships if any. Please present your written findings in a report (no more than two pages), with an appendix (no more than eight pages) containing the results of your analysis, by no later than 6.00pm on Sunday 14 April 2019. Regards Michelle Wang Part 1: Data Analysis To prepare a reply to the manager’s letter, you will need to use Excel to analyse the data set “Assignment 1 and 2 DATASET - Cleveland.xlsx” thoroughly. You will need to apply techniques you have learned during lectures and tutorials in Weeks 1 to 3 such as: • tables • graphs, and • summary measures. You DO NOT need toperformanyadditionalanalysisother thanwhatyou have learned in weeks 1, 2 and 3. Please use the worksheets ‘Q1’ through ‘Q5’ to work on each question. You may initially produce more Excel output than you need, so you will only need to copy and paste the relevant output from these worksheets to the ‘Results’ worksheet. Keep in mind the page limit of 8 printed pages for the analysis AND that the presentation of the results will be marked too! GUIDELINES The manager has asked for a number of tasks to be done. The following guidelines for each question should be followed: 1. Please provide an overall summary of employees’ salaries. You will need to use numerical analysis methods to summarise overall salaries. In the report, you will also need to write about averages, variability etc. as presented in the examples in the relevant lecture and tutorial. 2. Please provide an estimate of the proportion of employees’ job satisfaction (that is, who are either “Moderately satisfied” or “Very satisfied” with their job) at Cleveland. You will need to use categorical variable analysis methods to provide this estimate. In the report, you will also need to state the estimate and discuss the limitations of this type of estimate. 3. Senior management is also interested in how salary is related to gender. Does there appear to be any relationship between an employee’s salary and their gender? You will need to focus on whether there is a difference or not. If yes, make sure you describe them. If not, you should explain why you think there is no difference. 4. Can you please provide an overall summary of how Cleveland Corp employees rated their relations with the management? You will need to use categorical analysis methods to summarise the variable. In the report you also need to briefly describe your findings. Examples can be found in the relevant lecture and tutorial. 5. Senior management is interested in which numerical variables seem to influence an employee’s salary. Please provide a summary of these relationships if any. Once more you will need to use techniques for the analysis of two variables. You will need to analyse six (6) numerical relationships. In each case, the type of the relationship – if there is one – and its direction and strength are of interest. Make sure you comment on what you find in each case. GENERAL GUIDELINES: • Before doing any analysis, classify all your variables as either numerical or categorical. The techniques you will use depend on the type of data you have. • As mentioned above, the analysis section (Part 1) you submit should be no more than 8 pages of computer output. You might produce much more than this initially, but you should trim it down to only show the most relevant results. • When satisfied, you should copy-and-paste your analysis output into a Word document. • Your analysis should be presented in the same sequence as the manager’s questions, and everything should be clearly labelled and grouped around each question. • Also, make sure, there are no table or graph “breaks” across two pages. • Poorly presented or unorganised analysis or excessive output (more than 8 pages) will be penalised. • Save your computer analysis frequently (every 10 to 15 minutes). Part 2: Report (that is, your reply to the Manager’s letter) Write a letter to the manager, explaining essential information and conclusions from your data analysis. You are allowed no more than two pages to convey your written findings. • Keep the English simple and the explanations brief. • Avoid the use of technical statistical terminology. Your reader will not necessarily understand even simple statistical terms. Your task is to explain your analysis using plain, understandable language. General instructions: • The report is to be written as a standalone document (that is, assume for the scenario that the manager will only read your report, and not look at your analysis output). You should not have any direct references to your analysis in your report. • When writing your reply, make sure that you actually provide the information the manager requested in her letter to you. That is, answer the manager’s questions. • Do not include computer output tables and charts in your response report. • Number your answers in your report 1, 2 a, … etc., to match the sequence of the manager’s requests. • Include an introduction at the start of the report and a summary/conclusion at the end. • Marks will be deducted for the use of technical terms, poor grammar, awkward sentence structure, poor spelling and punctuation, irrelevant material, poor presentation/organisation and letters that are over two (2) pages long. Assignment Checklist BEFORE YOU FINISH: Part 1 (Data Analysis) 1. Have you applied the correct analysis techniques? 2. Is the analysis in the same order as the manager’s requests? 3. Is every table and every graph clearly labelled? 4. Are there tables or graphs that are broken across 2 pages? (If yes, make sure you change that!) 5. Is the analysis output no more than 8 pages long? Part 2 (Report) 1. Is your report written in plain language? 2. Is it free of grammar and spelling mistakes? 3. Is it free of technical language? 4. Is it free of Excel output (tables, graphs)? 5. Are the answers numbered and in the same order as the manager’s requests? 6. Is the report no more than 2 pages long? Assignment submission: Your submission will comprise two (2) parts: Part 1: Data Analysis Part 2: Report Both parts may be contained in a single file, but their content must be separated. That is, you will submit one document only. The electronic submission will consist of two parts. Failure to separate Part 1 and Part 2 will be penalised. The Assignment must be submitted electronically and 10% of available marks will be deducted for late submission. Electronic submission: There will be a Turnitin link in Moodle under Resources and Assessment labelled “MIS171-Assignment1”. Students must maintain backup copies of all their assignment work. Electronic loss of data is common but is NOT a satisfactory excuse for an extension of the submission date. Late submission of assignments: If your work is late due to medical reasons, you will not need to seek the prior approval from your lecturer. However, you must attach a Doctor’s certificate to your assignment with a note that the work is late for medical reasons. Please note that, in these circumstances, the medical certificate must cover the entire period of the extension, from the time the assignment was due until the time it is submitted. Penalties for late submissions. Assignments received late and without prior approval, will be penalised. A penalty of 5% of the available marks will be deducted for every day the assignment is late. Assignments received after one (1) calendar week and without an approved extension, will not be accepted, and therefore considered not submitted.
