After viewing the Chinese Imports & Food Safety Video, consider whether U.S. retailers that utilize products or raw ingredients that are imported from China and that are poorly regulated should be liable in tort for injuries to consumers who are harmed by those products. Answer parts 1 and 2 of the following question:

1. Answer part a or part b

a. If U.S. companies should not be liable, then they could be legally exempt from tort liability. Discuss the consequences of such a policy to U.S. consumers.

b. If the U.S. companies should be liable, then those companies would not be legally exempt from tort liability. Discuss the consequences of such a policy to U.S. businesses.

2. Regardless of your response to part 1 of this question, assume that U.S. retailers do have legal liability for defective products. What steps could U.S. retailers and manufacturers take, when using products imported from China that would minimize their liability exposure? For example, they could warn consumers about the potential, though speculative, dangers when using products comprised of poorly regulated ingredients or components. Given your strategy, what challenges would exist for U.S. businesses that implemented your strategy?

Format and Guidelines:

First and foremost, please refer to the course syllabus and the readings listed on the course website and class notes and discussions.

The purpose of a Critical Review Essay is to evaluate the work/film and provide a critical commentary on its contents. A synopsis is not necessary.

Format of the Review.

1. Introduction: Identify the film you are going to review. The director, title, date and place of production may be placed at the beginning of the essay in the form of a “bibliographic” citation. Then state what the director’s goal was in writing and or directing the film. For example, Why did the director choose this specific subject? What contribution to our understanding of history, culture and society did the director, and actors intend to make? How do we appreciate more Japanese culture? And …

2. Brief Summary:   In the main body of the review, you should begin by briefly describing content and organization, along with the most important evidence used. Do not get bogged down in details here; this section is only intended to prepare the reader for the critical assessment to follow. Again, a detailed synopsis is not necessary.

3. Critical Assessment: Evaluate the work’s contribution to our understanding of history, culture and society. There are several things you should look for:
4. a) Identify a central argument, or thesis. The thesis is not the topic of the film but a specific argument that the author/director has expressed about the subject. Sometimes, it is stated in the introduction, sometimes in the conclusion. Feel free to review these sections first to determine the main argument. Knowing the main argument will help guide you through the rest of the film. The focus at certain points highlights the director’s intentions.

1. b) Identify perspective, point of view, or purpose. This can be approached in a number of different ways. Ask yourself whether there is a particular emphasis, such as economic, social or humanitarian. Is the film informed by a social, historical, or political ideology? If the film describes a conflict, does the director, either explicitly or subtly, favor one side over the other?
2. c) Look at the director’s evidence: what sources are used? Are those sources balanced, reliable, and legitimate?
3. Conclusion: Assess the overall quality of the film. Does the style or content of the film recommend it to a specific audience? Offer a final evaluation: How valuable is it? How important is it? Please do not “recommend” the film.

5. Final Evaluation: How does this work contribute to the field of study? Was the film successful in realizing the objective and targeted audience?

You will assume the role of an entrepreneur, and you will conduct an analysis focusing on an investment opportunity of your choice. In your analysis you will
carefully evaluate key factors influencing the demand for the product, cost and supply issues, the role of market structure, and competitive analysis on firm
strategy. You will also analyze the effects of government regulations and market intervention on potential profitability, and you will use price and non-price
strategies to support product introduction. You will then evaluate the potential financial viability of the proposed new product using approximate figures and
determine whether or not to recommend investing in the development and commercialization of the investment opportunity to your business partners.

1. Market Structure:
a. Market Competition: What is the existing and potential market competition? How do these companies affect the firm’s strategies and
profitability? This is where you would discuss the type of competitors, number of competitors, and barriers to entry.
b. Firm Strategies: What are potential price and non-price strategies that the firm might use and what are their relationships to the market
structure? For example, discuss a strategy that would support the success of your product. Depending on how the industry is structured you
might discuss how it is consistent with the market structure. Perhaps you would address how it is different. Once you address this, you would
discuss how your choice provides an advantage in the market.

a. Policies: Identify policies or regulations at the local, state, or national level that could potentially affect your business. What are the reasons for
these policies or regulations?
b. Effects of Intervention: How do these policies or regulations affect your ability to compete and profitably operate in your business? Include
examples specific to aspects of market performance to support your conclusions. For example, some forms of regulation, such as patent
protection, may afford more profit opportunities while others, such as environmental regulations, may add to your costs.
