Week 3 Discussion 1
“Electronic Commerce” Please respond to the following:
As electronic commerce has grown, the inevitable fallout
from failed transactions and business relationships has resulted in a
developing body of case law. Assess the practicality of using electronic
commerce by federal agencies. Then identify a barrier that exists at within
federal agencies that is not presented in free enterprise and discuss how this
difference affects management. Support your answer.
Speculate on whether the government should be wary in
relying on electronic commerce. Explain why or why not. Then present an
argument that address how the concerns of e-commerce are paired against those
of a corporation.
Week 3 Discussion 2
“Whistleblower Protections” Please respond to the following:
From the e-Activity, analyze the degree and form of
protection a “whistleblower” can expect to receive after disclosing information
to a member of Congress or an authorized official of an agency. Note: This
refers to a situation where a substantial violation of law relating to
contracts (including competition for negotiation of a contract) is suspected.
Consider yourself to be the whistleblower and explain the factors you would
weigh in your decision to take action.
Take a position on whether the concerns about whistleblower
protections is a factor that inhibits one’s decision to come forward about a
substantial violation of law relating to contracts (including competition for
negotiation of a contract). Suggest at least one alternative that could
alleviate such concerns.
