After Years of Blockbuster Global Sales, Apple's iPhone Hits a Slump by Laura Sydell

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/15/685414032/after-years-of-blockbuster-global-sales-apples-iphone-hits-a-slump

Last year Apple Inc. had become the first American public company valued at $1 Trillion. However, Apple stock lost significant value after CEO Tim Cook lowered revenue expectations. The major reason for lower expectations is reported to be declining sales in Asia. According to the news, China and Taiwan together account for 20% of Apples overall business.

Two main reasons for declining sales in Asia are highlighted. The first reason is that Chinese companies like Huawei manufacture similar phones and sell them at a much lower price. US offici

Chapter 2 discusses numeric models and I will have to be the first to confess they seem to be viable options to selecting a project.  However, there are some risks associated with using numbers only to make decisions especially if you you use only one method.  But how could you use the steps in project portfolio management to reduce the risks associated using numerical models to select a project.  I have been involved with many projects where the sales team crunched numbers regarding a project but they really didn't consider extenuating circumstances before they made their decision.  Keep this point in mind.

In its user service agreement, Facebook includes a forum selection clause that requires users with legal disputes to file any lawsuits against Facebook in courts physically located near its northern California corporate headquarters. Review the discussion of this issue in your textbook (Legal Strategy 101, pp. 102-103); then, analyze the following questions:

1. Is forum shopping ethical? What are you using as your ethical standard?

2. Should courts enforce forum selection clauses in business-to-consumer contracts like the Facebook user agreement? Why or why not?

3. Suppose Facebook did not have a forum selection clause in its user agreement. Would Facebook be subject to the jurisdiction of every state court in the United States, since it has millions of users in every U.S. state?

This assignment requires that you analyze both a legal concept (forum shopping) and its application in a business contract (forum selection clause). Read the course material and the
