Feeling proud of your growing knowledge of business law and your work on the Blu
Feeling proud of your growing knowledge of business law and your work on the Blue Mood Clothing case, you move on to your next assignment. You open the Carz Bazaar case file to review the facts of the situation.
Once you have fully assessed the situation in the Carz Bazaar case, proceed to the next step, where you will gather the information you need to analyze the legal questions of the case.
Step 7: Gather and Analyze Information
As you read through the materials, try to begin answering the questions posed below.
You will likely encounter many new legal concepts, so take notes about which sections apply to this case so that you can easily refer back to them when you begin to write your analysis.
In all legal cases, there are disputes about the facts and the law. In this case, we can assume the facts stated in our case file are accurate, so we just need to decide what law applies and how the law can be interpreted to support the plaintiffs’ and defendant’s arguments. The issue of who caused the accident has been settled. Wilson caused the accident, so the issue before us is whether Wilson’s employer can be held responsible for his actions.
What are the arguments in favor of the plaintiffs (the accident victims)?
What are the arguments in favor of the defendant (Carz Bazaar)?
Read about legal responsibilities of agents and employees to help you answer these questions.
In the next step, you’ll formalize your thoughts so that they are ready to put into your presentation.
Step 8: Create and Submit Your Legal Analysis
As you begin to finalize your findings from the Carz Bazaar case, you receive an email from Vice President Dodger:

From: Kenneth Dodger, Vice President, Colossal Corporation
To: You
Good to see your continued progress on these cases.
As you prepare to submit your findings for the Carz Bazaar incident, I wanted to give you some clear delivery instructions.
As in the previous case, I’d like you to use your outline and research notes from your work on this case to prepare your written analysis.
Maintaining company procedure, I’d also like you to meet the following requirements for this deliverable:
Please divide your analysis into two parts: Part I: Arguments for the Plaintiffs and Part II: Arguments for the Defendant.
Support your conclusion with references to legal principles and laws. Cite references to course materials and cases using APA format.
The analysis should be no more than seven pages (double spaced, 12-point font; the reference list does not count towards the page limit).
Title your file using this protocol: yourlastname_CarzBazaar _date.
Following this submission, I would like you to participate in a discussion with your fellow Colossal Company colleagues to see if we can reach a consensus about the winner of this case.
I hope your work to this point has been rewarding. I’ve always found that consideration and appreciation of ethical practice in a global market is the key to successful business.
Best,
Ken
Submit your Carz Bazaar analysis to the Assignments folder. You should have your analysis completed and submitted by the end of Week 2.
Step 9: Discuss Carz Bazaar Case Outcome
DISCUSSION WITH COLLEAGUES
After your careful analysis of the case in the previous steps, Vice President Dodger would like your opinion on the likely outcome of the case if it were to be brought to court and decided by a judge. Provide a full legal analysis and explanation for the outcome you expect. Discuss your opinion with your colleagues so the VP can evaluate any consensus in the assessment of the facts.
Go to the discussion entitled Carz Bazaar, and create a new topic entitled “Carz Bazaar [insert your last name].” Decide in favor of either the plaintiffs or defendant and explain why you made this decision. To complete this step, post your own decision, read the opinions of your classmates, and respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. These posts can be as long or as short as you need in order to effectively make your points. See MBA Discussion Guidelines before you begin. Participation in the discussion is due no later than the end of Week 3.
