As future business professionals, it is almost certain that you will enter into contracts that the other party will unfortunately breach or attempt to breach. Indeed, this comes up so often in business that on an almost daily basis you can find articles and stories about lawsuits involving prominent individuals or large companies, in which one side is suing the other for breach of contract, or to get out of a contract.

For this discussion assignment, find an article dealing with a contract dispute from the last six weeks. Share the link to the article and a 2-3 paragraph summary in which you make sure you mention: who are the plaintiff and defendant, what was each side supposed to do under the contract, what is being alleged about one party’s wrong conduct in the lawsuit, and what additional information about the case you think you would need to know to predict who should win. Make sure you include a link to the article so that your classmates can read it as well.

CREATIVE WRITING ASSIGNMENT ON BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Recent technological advancements and rapid manufacturing growth are having a considerable impact on the global supply chain. For example, artificial intelligence is taking over quality control, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and drones are monitoring manufacturing and maintenance, and more than 1.9 million robots are already deployed in manufacturing and warehousing globally.

Today, companies need to be agile, flexible, and responsive to survive. Those that drive continuous innovation throughout their businesses and supply chains – and differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market by remaining dynamic and relevant – are the ones that succeed.

I’m working on a accounting multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

In 2015, when the avian flu hit egg producers hard, there was a shortage of eggs. Egg prices increased dramatically. Over the years since 2015 however, egg production has ramped back up as egg producers have restocked their flocks of egg-laying chickens. There is now a glut of eggs, putting causing the price of eggs to greatly decrease.

Eggs are used in many products, including ice cream, cream pies, eggrolls, marshmallows, lollipops, meatloaf, and pasta. Kellogg’s® Eggo® waffles are among products that use eggs.

Fun fact: The average American eats 250 eggs per year, according to Business Insider (“10 things you never knew about eggs,” 3/3/2017.)

1. Which of the Eggo® waffle variances would be impacted by the drop in the price of eggs?
2. Would the drop in the price of eggs cause a favorable or unfavorable variance for Kellogg’s?
3. What is Kellogg’s likely to do to its standard(s) based on the current price of eggs? Which standard(s) would be impacted?
