1. What is Ms. Gaddis ' reason to fire Mr. Price? Ms. Gaddis’ reason for firing Mr. Price was because she felt as though he was not completing the job he was asked to do creatively and efficiently. Ms. Gaddis’ wanted the advertisements for her agency to be worded and presented in a certain way, Mr. Price felt the language he was required to use was untruthful. As a result of Mr. Price not willing to provide Ms. Gaddis’ with the exact advertisement she hoped for, his employment was being terminated. 2. Is there an implied employment contract in this situation? Should an implied contract protect Mr. Price from being fired? According to an online article titled, “What Is an Implied Contract” it defines the term as, “creating an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. If the parties’ conduct or the circumstances suggests they had an agreement or understanding that created an obligation, then the law will find that they have an implied in-fact contract.” (Crowe, 2015).

For example, Ms. Gaddis’ feels as though Mr. Price should create the advertisement using the language that she felt was best for the agencies success; however, Mr. Price felt as though he
When it comes to disputes on executive sales, companies prefer to keep the war on paper, but regardless, the battle can get quite intense. Ira C. Herbert is a representative for Coca-Cola while R.W. Seaver represents the Grove Press Company. Both employees send letters in order to dispute over the usage of the catch phrase “It’s the Real Thing.” Each representative addresses his reasoning behind why each respective company has the right to the use of the phrase. To persuade one another, the use of rhetorical strategies is apparent throughout each letter. Whereas, Mr. Seaver’s letter is straightforward and sarcastic, Ira C. Herbert’s response is more persuasive due to its use of evidence in justifying Coca Cola’s priority in the use of the slogan.

Lillian spends a lot of her walk reflecting on her long and distinguished career in advertising. Working at R.H. Macy’s, Lillian rose to the top of her profession by writing witty and clever advertisements that drew customers in and made them laugh.

He and Lutz’s arguments coincide on the grounds that advertising is primarily about selling a product, and that there is unique language involved in doing so. O’Neill suggests that “Advertising is nothing more than the delivery system for salesmanship” and asserts that it is the consumer, not the advertisers, with the power to buy or not buy a good or service. He later delves into the many techniques used by advertising agencies, from their unique advertising speak to the powerful imagery used to capture the attention of their demographic.

This is defined as a clear manifestation of willingness to enter an agreement made by another person with full understanding that their assent to the bargain is an invitation and is concluded. As to whether there was an offer in this case, yes there is an offer. When the salesman offered the buyers time for a test drive and they finally chose and agreed to buy the blue car it was a clear offer.
Kathy and Sam seemed not to have the required expertise to make a sound decision on hiring a suitable applicant. Sam’s role was to assist in the hiring process however he was the sole decision maker on who they were going to hire. After the interview, the person that was selected wasn’t the ideal person for the job. According to Fallon & McConnell (2014), Out of the four candidates, only two of them were reasonably qualified for the position (p. 204). To refer to them as reasonably qualified indicates they may be lacking in experience to fill the job opening since she was let go within her 30day probationary period. In the future, Kathy and Sam should focus on individuals who have experience and a solid work history for the position to ensure

As a marketer in BP, he was disappointed when a man he outclassed was promoted to become his direct boss. This he considered very unfair especially because he had just then helped boost the company’s sales by about 25% with the winning over of a new contract.
Adam and Bill created an orally implied bilateral contract. Bill-the offeror-communicated the terms of his offer to Adam—that if Adam won the gold medal in a rib cook off, Bill would open the rib joint, “Adam’s Ribs” and Adam would operate it and purchase it after 3 years for $20,000 cash. That is, if the establishment produced “reasonable profits during the three years.” Consideration for Bill would be profiting from three years of owning the restaurant operated by Adam, and in return, Adam would receive consideration as the opportunity to purchase his restaurant from Bill after three years of running it with reasonable profit, as was agreed upon to be equal consideration between the two. Bill refused to sign a written contract, violating the one year rule for oral agreements, as the contract between the two men would be performed in three years. Adam-the offeree-won a silver medal rather than gold. Bill went ahead and opened the restaurant anyway, and Adam ran it, producing beyond
