ADA’s Effect on Small Business
[ send me this paper ]
A 23 page paper discussing the effect that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 has had on small business in costs of compliance. The law originated with good intentions and originally exempted very small businesses from needing to comply in any but the very broadest terms. Since then, however, other “disabilities” such as obesity have gained official recognition as disabilities, and activist groups have sued small business owners to force them into compliance despite the costs and despite lack of complaints by disabled customers or workers. The paper argues that the ADA as it applies to small business is oppressive and imposes undue burden on small businesses. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Advantages and Risks of Financial Globalization
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper discussing issues of trade, science and technology, environmental concerns and welfare in terms of financial risks inherent in participating in the globalization of business. There is risk in any business venture, and that element of risk can be greatly magnified by going into a foreign country as a site of operation. The 'word' of the 1990s has been that in order to grow, it is necessary to operate or at least sell product outside national home boundaries, but some corporate entities have found that not to be the case. The key is to fully and objectively assess the element of risk that does exist, and determine whether the organization is willing to accept that risk that is in existence now and that which could occur in the future. The paper uses as examples vignettes from China, Costa Rica, India, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore and the US in discussing risks and economic sustainability. Bibliography lists 19 sources.
