Change occurs all the time in organizations, it is the one thing that is always consistent. In order for an organization to stay relevant they must re-invent themselves in order to continue to satisfy their customers’ needs.

The aerial shell is made up of gunpowder and stars, small lumps that are comprised of fuel, an oxidizing agent, a metal-containing colorant, and a binder. These stars are what give the fireworks their colors. (De Antonis, pg 8).

When the fuse at the bottom of a firework is lit, the energy propels it upwards until

Acme Fireworks sells fireworks in all their myriad forms. Single-use, aerial display, ground display; if there 's a need, Acme Fireworks supplies it.

Fireworks are one of those things that everyone loves to see every chance they can get. Acme Fireworks wants to start showing fireworks on the regular basis, but it will cost more to hire more people for the labor, insurance, and the service of setting off the fireworks. I will determine if the contract with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code and explain why, analyze whether the owner formed the contract with the business and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract. I will explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display, discuss the difference employment types and relationships relevant to agency law and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.

This company started out as a small family owned business in the back of a man’s garage and as he grew and drew in more consumers he is now a managing fifteen employees that help him operate his business. The company has been a sole proprietorship and the owner has never changed his entity, meaning no partnerships or shareholders. The owner has received numerous inquiries from surrounding businesses if his company would be able to create more personalized fireworks for them on a more regular basis.
