According to the article, it is now trendy to be thrifty. Consumers are starting to spend less and come up with ways to save more money. Please read the article and summarize it. Then, list and describe three ways your business can either save money or promote ways your business can help customers save money.


Business Law

Please read the article above about a negligence case regarding the death of actor John Ritter. Please describe the case (who was involved, what were the charges, what was the claim of negligence, and what happened). Then find another recent lawsuit involving a tort from your text and describe it in the same way.


Sales and Marketing

Please read the above article. It contains a slightly different version of the steps of a sale that I gave you in class. Compare and contrast these steps giving at least five examples of how they are the same, different, or what are stressed as the most important. Then let me know which one you like better and why.
