1. I do not support Lori’s actions in which she signed an extension of her lease without letting Flying Cat know of her divorce and better yet letting Dan know what she is doing. I don’t think her behavior was legal nor ethical due to the fact that the contract is a marital business partnership lease and Lori is signing it like she and Dan are still married. Which also makes Dan responsible if something were to happen, like late payments. It seems as though she wants to keep the profits but, doesn’t want handle the losses. Business Implications: 1. A business practitioner can learn from this case that even though in a partnership, the couple can get divorced but one of the partners can resecure the collaboration of the two partners even after it has been terminated. Thus, making both partners held at fault for anything dealing with the business. The best decision in this type of case is to make sure everyone knows that the partnership has ended, verbally and written in print. Making it retraceable if something like this case were to happen again. …show more content…
In my opinion, I do believe both Dan and Lori should be held responsible for the fees to the fact they are in a partnership for Curves for Women. I also think Lori should have the larger amount of fees to be repaid due to the fact she was the one hiding information from everyone else during the time of difficulty. From my viewpoint, I think both partners should have to sign the extension lease just like they had to do in the beginning when signing up for the space. This way both Dan and Lori would know what is going on and nothing can be
| The partners are jointly and severally liable for business debts and obligations. The partners are held personally responsible for the business and may be sued personally for liability.

Due to its nature, partnership is generally liable for the acts of the individual partners if committed in the course of the partnership business. However, liabilities of every partner may be regulated by the written agreement signed by partners. If no written agreement is signed by partners, liabilities of the partnership are regulated by the Partnership Act. If one of the partners retires, he or she may not be liable for the future debts of partnership if an official notice of the change is sent to creditors and the public. However, there were no official notice sent by the partners in the case; therefore, Toby may be liable for the debts of partnership. Due to the death of the third partner, partnership may be dissolved. In order to pay off the debts, assets should be sold and partners are free to continue the same kind of business after the dissolution of the
Even if the term of the Partnership has not expired, the Partnership may terminate by: (a) Unanimous agreement of the Partners; or (b) If Can Do becomes significantly incapacited; or (c) Election of a Partner when another Partner has breached this agreement.

When it comes to partnerships Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon will have two options- a general partnership or a limited partnership. Partnerships are beginning to be a business form of the past. Once upon a time, partnerships were “the default form of business and provided the benefit of pass-through taxation, but lacked the important feature of limited liability” (Chrisman, 2010, p. 465). In a general partnership, each partner associated with the entity will be held liable for their own business decisions as well as
The environment affects an individual’s behavior. The social, behavioral perspective forms the best approach with which to understand Dan’s situation. People develop the ability to solve problems and approach situations through learning, from either other people’s experiences, or their experiences (Hutchison, 2015). Dan, at the tender age of seven, watched his parents’ divorce. As the case would be for any other child his age; he must have understood that the divorce meant that he would no longer live with both of his parents. At the age of seven, children are, more often than not, likely to make many cognitive errors which, if not corrected in the future, could have adverse effects on their lives.
Suppose that Katherine, Brianna, and Paige have formed a limited partnership to operate a video arcade. Katherine is the general partner. She has contributed $2,000 and her time to get the operation running. Brianna and Paige, the limited partners, have each contributed $3,000. After one year of operation, the arcade has debts of $10,000, and the three partners decide to discontinue their business and the limited partnership. Brianna and Paige want their investment returned to them. Who should Katherine, who is winding up the business, pay first, Brianna and Paige, or the creditors? How much will Brianna and Paige receive? How about Katherine?
According to The History of Danone (2009), Isaac Carasso was inspired by the research of Elie Metchnikof, and in 1919 he began using ferments from the Pasteur Institute to manufacture yogurts to sell on prescription to pharmacies in Barcelona, Spain. Carasso began this work, because he saw an opportunity to help the number of children suffering from intestinal disorders, due the lack of healthy nutrition following the First World War. By 1929, Daniel Carasso, Isaac’s son, continued to grow the company by launching the company Danone in Paris. Business for Danone continued to prosper in Paris until 1941, when Daniel
As stated in the Partnership Act, “Each partner in a firm…is liable jointly with the other partners for all debts and obligations of the firm incurred while the partner is a partner, and after the partner’s death (his or her) estate is also severally liable in a due course of administration for such debts and obligations so far as they remain unsatisfied..”.

Dan’s Case Study Normal and abnormal coping can be determined through the assessment of a number of issues surrounding one’s life. Taking a primary focus on the mental state, psychosocial development study, deviance, and the social functioning degree of individuals determine whether one’s case is abnormal or normal. In Dan’s case, the analysis comes in handy in helping him cope well with individuals in his environment. Mental Disorder
As of 2007, Danone, the French multinational food company, was in a fierce battle with China-based Wahaha Group (the largest beverage producer in China) to win control of their joint ventures (JVs) in China. The fight is reported to have started in 2005 when Danone uncovered some unusual financial figures at the JVs, but this did not become known to the public until 2007, when Danone and Wahaha Group failed to resolve their disputes on the selling price of Wahaha-related non-joint ventures (non-JVs). The quarrel between Danone and Wahaha Group has escalated. It involves disputes on brands, as well as on perceived unequal commitments to the JVs. Lawsuits
The parent company Danone, as part of its social activity teaches and educates Corporate Social Responsibility initiative across its subsidiary. Internal and external communication program help blend corporate global culture and shapes the best practices in the U.S where Dannon operates. Dannon views U.S market as a growth oriented with per person consumption, which is much less than other part of Europe. Dannon executives identified this opportunity as a high growth area and used its Corporate Social Responsibility programs in its communication with customers.
