the post has two assignments

1:Media giants

Order Description

Rationale: In class, we watched a CNBC documentary about Ted Turner and his media empire. For this assignment, you will watch another documentary about a media giant. Below you will find a list of documentaries you can choose from as well as likely places to access that content. You can watch the documentary with friends, so grab some popcorn and split the cost of the download. But, all of your research and writing must be done independently.

Directions: Below, you will find links to five documentaries on Media Giants from various industries. If none of these suit you, you can propose another documentary to the professor in writing no later than noon, Sunday March 29 for approval. After watching your documentary, you will engage in outside research on your Media Giant, gathering 5 additional sources about your Giant or his/her media innovation. You will write a 2-3 page paper using your research as outlined below. In addition, you will provide complete citations for all 5 sources that you have referenced in your paper.

This is an individual assignment. You will need to do outside research (as described above) to complete this assignment. Additionally, you partner must properly attribute and cite any ideas that are not your own — whether you are paraphrasing content from the class textbooks or directly quoting material using the APA Style citation skills you learned in class. You are responsible for every aspect of this project, including ensuring that it complies with NUQ Academic Integrity standards.

All assignments are submitted to TurnItIn, a plagiarism detection software program. Violations of academic integrity (intentional or unintentional) will be referred to the NUQ Academic Integrity committee.

Questions to Consider:

What struggles did your “Giant” overcome? How have his/her contributions changed the media industry? What is the significance of those contributions? What were the keys to his/her success? How can you apply lessons learned from the “Giant’s” success to your own career path?

Grading Rubric:

20 points: Quality of the outside research you do on your “Media Giant.” Use strong sources that Rovach and Rosenstiel would approve of based on The Skeptical Way of Knowing. HINT: Wikipedia isn’t on their list. Correct citation to sources in proper APA style is key.

20 points: Your discussion of your “Giant,” his/her innovations in the field and how those innovations will impact your future in media.

20 points: Connect your “Giant” and his/her innovations to the material we’ve covered in lecture and readings.

15 points: Writing matters. Proper usage, syntax, capitalization, punctuation and spelling are important. Organizational structure and professional tone are also key.

General Reminders about Written Work in INT 201:

All written work prepared outside of class is expected to be typed in a standard font (Times New Roman or similar) in a standard size (12 pt). It should be double-spaced with standard margins (2.5 cm). All written work prepared outside of class will be submitted electronically via Canvas by noon on the due date listed in the Course Schedule.

COURSEWORK ASSIGNMENT

SCENARIO

Happy Construction Ltd is a small construction company registered in Aberdeen, UK; it is 100% subsidiary of a major international company Sunny Construction Group Holdings registered in Estonia. Happy was created in 2014 with a modest capital of ?10.000 in order to enter the highly competitive Scottish market. It keeps its own books and has its own employees, mostly former employees of Sunny. The majority of Happy?s assets are either on loan directly or indirectly from Sunny, or directly financed by the latter. Mr Smiley the CEO of Happy is also the former employee of Sunny; Mr Gentley the CEO of Sunny often visits Aberdeen and advises Mr Smiley on business matters.

In January 2015 Happy Construction secures its first ever contract with Gloomy Granite Ltd, one of the major players on Aberdonian market. The
contract is for the new multi-storey headquarters of Quahog Oil and it has very tight detailed deadlines. The negotiations from Happy?s side were conducted jointly by Mr Smiley and Mr Gentley who made it clear that Sunny Construction Group Holdings plc is fully backing the activities of
Happy, and is prepared to provide it with any required assistance in the performance of the contract. Mr Banshee the CEO of Gloomy Granite
strongly insisted during negotiation that either Sunny Construction becomes a party to the contract itself, or at least it must provide some
financial guarantee; Messrs Smiley and Gentley insisted that Happy should become a sole party to the contract. In the end the parties signed the
contract on 21 January 2015 and agreed to this solution: only Happy and Gloomy Granite are named as parties to the contract, but Sunny
Construction will make an endorsement on the contract under the parties? signature. Neither of the parties was very clear on what this
?endorsement? entails in legal terms, but they shared the same vague idea that it constituted some kind of financial guarantee. Article 21 of the
contract provided for arbitration in London in accordance with ICC Rules.

Happy Construction started performance of the contract, but parties? relations soon deteriorated, despite Mr Gentley?s efforts to find a solution;
Sunny even made several small payments by way of liquidated damages that were due from Happy. In a month after the works started Gloomy
Granite came to the conclusion it can now lawfully discontinue the contract and is entitled to compensation from Happy Construction in the
amount of ?4 million. It was clear to Gloomy?s lawyers that Happy does not have enough assets to pay such an amount, even if claimants are
successful on the merits; Sunny, on the other hand, had sufficient funds.
Therefore they decided to name Happy and Sunny as joint respondents in the action. Sunny?s lawyers strongly opposed the idea of being bound to arbitrate in this matter.

QUESTION

Advise the parties whether Sunny Construction Group Holdings can be validly joined in this arbitration.
