constructed the contract the burden is on iRobot to ensure the contract is fair. iRobot’s choice not to include an industry standard, limitation clause in the contract resulted in an egregious document. The contract prevented Ahed from ever using knowledge deemed secret by iRobot for the remainder of his life. The only way to right the wrong is rescission of the invention and confidentiality agreement. RoboticFX case is substantional enough it should not have to proceed to trail and in my opinion could be settled out of court. The strength of RoboticFX’s cases for rescission of the contract rests on the fact iRobots’ robot was no longer a trade secret and the invention and confidentiality agreement is substantive unconscionable to enforce.

In fierce competition with Boeing, venture into VLA segment – as a rather neglected segment by Boeing – could pose as a strategic opportunity for Airbus which it could utilize to build a competitive advantage combined with its technological resources and capabilities. However, its assumptions of a drastic increase in VLAs demanded in next 20 years along with its ability to satisfy most of this are too optimistic. Provided that these assumptions (inc. breakeven points, initial order requirements) are normalized, A3XX is a project worthy to pursue for Airbus in order to exploit a neglected spot on the perceptional map – long-haul + big capacity. When we hold the market itself continues to grow as proposed in the case, this
The centralised organisational structure at Company K was primarily responsible for the issue that involved Dylan and the contract in various ways. Through the centralised organisational structure, decisions within the organisation run from the top to the bottom hence the Canadian branches in both Toronto and Vancouver unable to make decisions on their own but rely on instructions from Japan. Thus, all business activities had to be based on the headquarters in Japan for decision making. Therefore, the branch and operational managers in the respective Canadian and US branches lacked the autonomy to make decisions on their own. The lack of autonomy to make decisions was the primary reason that made Dylan on the contract issue.

Forecast Management will also be implemented from Q13 onwards. This would comprise a special unit within the Strategic Planning Division which will closely monitor and analyze the forecasts and trends as it pertains to unit production and price elasticity of demand. While there are many ratios used to analyze and gauge a firm’s performance, The Box Inc. chose five ratios/data points which shall be used as a baseline to the organization’s overall performance. These ratios/data points were chosen as they were seen to give a good indication to how the firm is maintaining its goals of a balance between profits, debt management and shareholder value. The ratios in the table below will be used as a guideline to assist in the organization’s future operations. In order for an organization to progress, it is important to look back at its past performance, see what was done right, what was done wrong and what could be improved. The matrix below, patented by the firm as “The Box Inc.
The NVR have limited hardware upgrade potentials (future firmware upgrade might...) such as audio RCA ports or RS485 port for PTZ camera, not available as an add-on at this time. The latter is useful in large area coverage.
Upon discussing the idea, the three young men then decided to proceed and allegedly formalized their agreement with nothing more than a handshake. From this point on, as the project moved forward in development, they failed to set forth and sufficiently detail, in writing, any of their agreements and resolutions regarding any essential terms of

Discuss general circumstances under which confidentiality concerns on the part of a client may properly affect audit planning decisions. At what point do client imposed audit scope limitations affect the type of audit opinion issued?
After receiving his first patent for Modtrack, Condrey entered into a licensing agreement with Harrell Equipment. This licensing agreement, and the copyrighted blueprints of the Modtrack system, formed the basis of his lawsuit. In response to Condrey 's allegations, Harrell Equipment filed a cross-complaint against SunTrust asserting that SunTrust: (1) fraudulently induced Harrell Equipment to agree to the March 1999 deal because SunTrust never intended to follow through with the agreement; (2) caused Harrell Equipment to partially perform and thus detrimentally rely on SunTrust 's oral promises; (3) fraudulently converted Harrell Equipment 's property because SunTrust 's foreclosure proceedings involved violations of state law duties regulating professional conduct in foreclosure proceedings; (4) breached its contract with Harrell Equipment when it failed to sell the assets to Vada, the third party purchaser selected by Harrell Equipment; (5) tortiously interfered with Harrell Equipment 's business opportunities during its daily operation of Harrell Equipment; and (6) concealed and destroyed evidence that would support Harrell Equipment 's claims. The magistrate judge found that the conversion and tortious interference with property rights claims were improper collateral attacks on the underlying state court judgments; those judgments terminated Harrell Equipment 's interest in its assets and inventory. The

This firm represents Century Engineering, Inc. (“Century”) in the above-referenced matter. We are extremely disappointed to learn that you do not intend to continue payments to Century as required under the Subconsultant Agreement Between HDR Engineering, Inc. and Century Engineering, Inc., dated September 25, 2015 (the “Contract”). We recognize that Walsh Granite Joint Venture (“WGJV”) has made two claims against you, and is withholding payments to set off damages resulting from those claims. We further understand that your Contract with our client provides that payment from WGJV is a condition precedent to your obligation to pay Century. We disagree, however, that the pay-if-paid provision in the Contract can be applied so as to permit you to withhold payment to Century under these circumstances. Accordingly, we write to demand that you continue to make payments as provided in the Contract. Alternatively, we demand information regarding payments you have received from WGJV, and for you to submit to non-binding mediation in accordance with the terms of our Contract, or waive such mediation. Further, we write to notify you that Century does not intend to undertake further project change orders or any additional undertakings that are not within the scope of our Contract until we receive compensation in accordance with our agreement.

1.a) To value Spyder Active Sports Inc., we decided to use the WACC method since we can easily value its cost of assets with the data immediately available to us in the case. We first unlevered the beta’s of 7 comparable companies and took the average to get a comparable unlevered beta for Spyder (Exhibit 1). Since we are assuming Spyder is entirely equity financed, its unlevered asset beta is equal to the beta of its assets. We now have a rough estimate of Spyder’s asset beta, we can
