In this workshop, we will look at techniques that enable managers to appraise, or weigh up, investment in long-lasting assets by relating the initial outlay to the future revenue. These techniques are used by businesses both to assess specific investments and to decide between alternative investments. Companies take these decisions very seriously because they involve large amounts of resources and once made they cannot be reversed.

All students will be required to write a research paper on one of four possible topics selected by the professor. These topics will be from wide ranging subject areas within the course. Therefore it will be necessary for the student to determine, early on in the process, which topic provides the most interest for a research project.
A list of topics have been selected for the students so time that would have been used for topic selection can instead be used for actual research and writing of the paper. This is especially appropriate because topic selections are due early on in the course before students have a real grasp of much of the course’s subject matter and therefore would have a difficult time finding appropriate topics.
The paper should be five to eight pages in length (double spaced), should include a bibliography and should use footnotes, endnotes or other appropriate documentation for sources and ideas used in the paper. Use quotation marks when using material from other authors.
This brings up the subject of plagiarism. GIVE CREDIT whenever you are using other’s ideas or opinions. GIVE CREDIT when you are using any pieces of information that are not common knowledge. GIVE CREDIT when you are directly quoting another person’s written or spoken words. GIVE CREDIT when you are paraphrasing another’s written or spoken words. And remember, it IS plagiarism whether it is done intentionally or not. Sloppy paper writing does not prevent one from plagiarizing. Plagiarism is a serious offense and will be considered such by the professor.
Further, the internet has made it substantially easier for students to plagiarize the work of others. However, the internet and modern technology have also made it easier for professors to discover violators. A final note on plagiarism and this particular course – Remember that there will only be four paper topics to choose from – it will be quite obvious if several students have the same undocumented material within their papers. I do not expect any problems.
The research topics are broad and can be approached in different manners by different students. You are granted considerable discretion within these topics.
Research Topics:
1. The Commerce Clause
2. Tort reform
3. Monopolies and the Telecommunications Industry
4. Securities Regulations, including insider trading, in the wake of Enron, “Marthagate”, etc.

Aside from the noted flaws of the index, it has been shown to be useful to give managers an idea of the amount of corruption they will face when doing business with a foreign country. Reportedly bribery is not only rampant but expected from foreign companies who deal with countries at the bottom of the list. However, this creates an ethical dilemma for US managers, as you are expected (although in most cases not legally required) to follow to rules of BOTH countries. Hence, just because bribery of government officials is ok in countries like North Korea, does not mean you can ethically do so since it is not acceptable in the US. Do you believe that this ethical code is effective in preventing US firms from engaging in these activities in corrupt countries? Why? Honestly speaking, would you forgo a profitable venture in another country if you would be forced to bribe a government official there, even if bribery is expected and accepted there? Explain your rationale.
