Questions:
On Saturday Fernando sees an advertisement in the local paper,
First edition of Lord of the Rings, signed by JK Tolkein
for sale £7000 Telephone Simon on 01234 – 60000
or e-mail simon @barad.co.nz.’
Fernando, who knows Simon’s address, immediately puts a cheque in the post for
the full asking price together with an additional sum to cover postage and package,
with a note asking Simon to send the book directly to him.
On Sunday evening Arthur e-mails Simon and asks if Simon will accept £6,500 for
the book. Simon replies that the book is offered for sale at £7,000 and if he wants
it he must email him back. Immediately Arthur emails Simon back saying he does
want to buy it for £7,000 and will put a cheque in the post to him that day. This email
arrives in Simon’s inbox but he mistakes it for spam and so deletes it without opening
it. Arthur puts a cheque in the post that evening.
On Monday morning having received nothing in the post Simon sells the book for
£15,000 to Gollum Books Ltd. and emails Arthur saying the deal is off.
Simon’s wife Fern, runs a coffee bar in Southsea. She goes to Good Buys, the local
supermarket to purchase some coffee for her business and whilst cycling through
Good Buys’ car park she is hit by Joe, a fork lift truck driver working for Good Buys.
Joe has only recently passed his test. As she entered the car park Fern had seen a
notice which stated ”Good Buys accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage to
property or persons however arising”. Fern is knocked unconscious, gashes her
head and damages her bicycle. She was not wearing a helmet. There is evidence
showing Joe was driving too fast and showing off to his friends.

(1) Advise Simon if he has any contractual liability to Fernando and or
Arthur

(2) Advise Fern on any contractual and or tortious claims she may have
against Joe and or Good Buys, including a discussion on whether the
notice will prevent her making any claim against Good Buys.

Sports and Human Rights – a critical analysis of the issues faced and how they are being addressed

You will need to explore literature on human rights to underpin and set the context
There should be an overview of sports and human rights; the key issues and how they are being addressed and then I want to use Qatar and the world cup 2022 as a case study primarily regarding the welfare of migrant workers – there is no shortage of literature and reference to the bad side of things but also the positive steps being done to address this should also be mentioned – I have put some weblinks to some interesting articles and sites that could be referenced. Of course relevant literature such as journals and books should also be referenced.

Management,Innovation and New Technology

Question: How does the social shaping perspective help us to understand the social and organizational implications of technological change? Answers should draw on either Ruth Schwartz Cowan’s account of the industrialisation of housework or Janet Abbate’s work on the origins of packet switching technology.

(This question invites students to draw on empirical examples to consider the idea that technological change is socially shaped in accordance with complex social/cultural choices. Students should familiar with the social shaping perspective with the critiques of technological determinism offered by authors such as MacKenzie and Wacjman, and Langdon Winner. They should also be familiar with both Schwartz Cowan’s work on the industrialisation of housework in the C19th and early C20th and on Abbate’s account of packet switching during the 1960s.

Basic answers will show how apparently ‘technological’ developments were in both cases shaped by a) the broader social/political context of innovation and b) the social/political agendas and choices followed by particular actors. Better answers will draw on the empirical accounts to show how technologies are crucially influenced at critical junctures. Better answers may also show how the innovation process is informed by multiple actors working within societies, institutions and organizations. The very best answers might note that apparently technological developments are informed by particular ensembles of technical and non technical factors, thus questioning inherently determinist and quasi-unversalist notions of ‘technology’ as an inexorable force for change. )
