Notes
You Must Submit Your Topic Via This Link For Approval Before Beginning Your Homework! So, try to get this done early in the week.
All homework assignments will be based upon the business you choose. It can be a real business in operation, your own business, or an entirely fake one (just make sure you are comfortable posting about a fake business). If you use an existing business, that is not your own, you cannot use anything the business has already published or created in your posts, they need to be original.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Since I cannot edit the above instructions, I am adding clarifying information here. These details are designed to help you earn approval the first time.
Please pick a NARROW (Single) Product (Good, Service or Hybrid). For example: if you have a jewelry business then pick ONE product line from the business. That means rings, or necklaces or earrings or bracelets. Or all of those items from ONE manufacturer or brand if you resell them. Example 2: If you have a lawn service, then pick ONE service (Mowing, edging, restoration, landscaping)
You MAY pick your business but pick ONE focus or aspect of it. Example: If you have an insurance company pick ONLY homeowners insurance.
***Be sure to write a quick explanation paragraph about the business/product (Good or Service or Hybrid) you chose, the target market information, any values/mission information you might know if it is your own business, and explain why you are picking this business/product (Good or Service or Hybrid).
Case AnalysisDave is a driver for Empire Courier Service. Around the company, Dave is known as sort of a hothead. During his previous employment at another company, Dave had been involved in a workplace fistfight with a fellow employee, resulting in criminal charges.
One day, between deliveries and in a company vehicle, Dave decides to get lunch. While leaving the parking lot at Big Burrito Bistro, the favorite lunch spot for most Empire Courier employees, Dave negligently causes a car accident with another vehicle, resulting in injuries to Victor, the driver of the other car. As Dave and Victor are waiting on the side of the road for the police to arrive, Victor comments to Dave, “Oh, you drive for Empire Courier Service. It doesn’t surprise me that Empire hires bad drivers because their service stinks, and their prices are too high!” Dave is so offended that Victor would insult his employer’s professional reputation that he punches Victor in the face, causing Victor to suffer even more injuries. Empire Courier Service does not, as a matter of policy, do criminal background checks on its employees.
Within your paper, define agency and how an agency relationship is created. Identify the various types of agency relationships, and explain tort liability and how it relates to the agency relationship.
Then, considering the legal principles discussed in Chapter 20, explain who is liable for Dave’s negligence for causing the car accident, and explain who is liable for Dave’s intentional tort for punching Victor.
Provide your answers in a case analysis of at least two pages in length.
One source is required. Include an introduction in your paper. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.
