Terrorism is buisness. With out the governments and big buisness there would be no terrorism. It works the the favor the governments and big buisness. How does it benifit the supposed guilty parties and little people.... NO WAY WHAT SO EVER! ;) so who is responsible? I think we have heard the work FRAMED used before.

YES!!! people say that business will boom due to the new law...not true!!! more lies. look at how many jobs were lost in canada at windsor due to their smoking ban. bunch of whiny crybabies always looking for ways to live longer. smokers have paid for many a building, and it was bad enough before when they threw us in a corner or outside to smoke...now we can't even smoke at all! i'm hoping my job (bartending in a dive bar) will hold out untill i'm finished with school....but i doubt it. if people can't even smoke in a dive bar, they'll stay home. all you self rightious people can rest easy and maybe live a couple more years  and find something else to cry about. i've got kids to feed and i 'm watching my job die a slow death on the clean air in the bar.

Naw, it's just something for people to get exercised about and vent frustration.  It's not going to have any significant effect on any real problems.  It might slow the economy down somewhat, and fruits and vegetables would get a lot more expensive, and things like that.  But it's foolish to think it will fix much of anything.

The Production & Operations Management Society has on its website a very interesting study that looks at the impact of technological factors on the software industry \n\n"The Impact of the New IT Technologies in the Business Model Transformation" http://www.poms.org/ConfPapers/003/003-0237.doc

Remember fraud and thievery have been around for a long time. No law can prevent these from happening. All it can do is to catch the thieves and punish them. If you look at Enron, Worldcom etc., the law worked. May be we should look at instilling a sense of honesty and integrity in present and future leaders of business.\n\nSarbox is fine. Those who cry "overregulation" want to dilute it.\n\ncc

The pro is that it can increase your sales drastically. Possibly a few hundred percent.\n\nCons are your customers won't be happy to have been duped so they won't return for more business (probably not a big deal depending on the industry), you could get sued (small chance but still there) and the government could step in and make you quit or even file suit against you itself (almost non-existant chance unless you are making medical claims).

The biggest problem is Price fixing.  Naturally when two or more companies are competing for business this competition will drive down prices for their product or service.  This benefits the consumer.  If there is collusion between these companies they can set the prices without regard to competition.

If a business has a large amount of receivables this would show profit on the Income Statement but not affect cash. \nAlso, if the company took on new debt, it hasn't affected cash or profit, but will affect it when it comes due.\n\nIt isn't important that a business have a profit every month. What is important is that the business is growing and has potential to be profitable. If the company is a start-up, it may show a loss. This is far better than company that used to be profitable and has a shrinking profit margin, possibly with a small profit. Especially if the small profit is from capital gains and not operating gains.\n\nI think that one measure of a company's size is ownership. A company could have a relatively large amount of revenues and still be considered small because it is closly held. As far as a revenue amount, I don't know where the line is generally drawn. I think its a relative thing. A business is compared to others within the industry.

Investing in a business that you love can effect your judgment as to the quality of the investment (believe me I know). Your better off going for your first house and getting a real asset on your sheet.

Depending on which industry you are in, legal and regulatory risks can have a major impact on your success or failure.  For example, with identity theft cases increasing, states are enacting new laws that force businesses to dislose information security breaches that affect customers' personal information, or else face stiff penalties.  With more companies becoming "information-based", I think this is a risk that most businesses need to understand.

how about how tax affects the price level of products and services :P

The jobs you describe are mostly min wage jobs so nothing will change. Far as letting go of workers to hire other for less. I would think a company could not afford the law suits that would result from that

...Yes, attend all planning commission meetings.  Get a petition signed by ALL people affected by this. Check,Site, and Document for the Planning Commission the ZONING laws for the affected area. If the new business in not in  compliance bring to attention of City Council. or maybe Code Enforcemnt entity. Show the commission you are an informed sovereign citizen. Good luck

Besides having a ton load of people pissed off?\n\nMany businesses have internal networks so they wont be as affected as one might think.\nBanks would merely have their online capabilites disabled which would force lots of companies to resort to manual paper reciepts for transactions.\n\nAll online businesses would be out of luck.\n\nBut the next day or two would show the increase in business so it would stabalize itself.\nMore than a nuisance if anything.

Well...there are too many issues involved..one is Globalisation and secondly ,by and large we all support capitalism and we want it to win over all else.Having said so, when the business drives the economy, we also should allow it to function with botton line focus.Otherwise business does not flourish.One parameter every businessmen wants to reduce is costs.The call centre operates on "Labour arbitrage"..."Arbitrage" in stock market means investor sells and buys same script at the same time,but geographically in  different location and make money.It is possible for me,for example to buy Microsoft  stock at Sydney and sell in New york simultaneously and make money.Call centres arbitrage labour.They buy and sell labour simultaneously to cut costs.So please, don't allow your socialistic views to affect capitalistic foundation.

It's certainly possible.  I think the question is whether all types of business can manage it.  It can't be easy for an arms manufacturer to do it, for example.\n\nHave a listen to the radio program that I've linked to below.  (Click on the link below "Listen again".  You'll need RealPlayer, and preferably broadband.)
