CRITICAL THINKING ASSIGNMENT

Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.

Option #1: Professional Contract Formation

After reading the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) article, "How to Create a Legally Binding Contract" and reviewing the resources available at the Student Career Center, you will create a professional contract that contains the definite and certain elements as discussed in Chapter 6 of your textbook.

Your contract will be written for your family-owned, small business. The agreement will be for employees to sign who wish to further their education while working for your company.

Be creative, yet professional. The following components must be present in your contract. For each element you must demonstrate your ability to write clearly, concisely, and with advanced communication skills.

1. Distinguish the type of contract (e.g. bilateral, unilateral) and include the six elements of contract formation.

2. Develop the factors of time, tasks, goals, potential clauses, assignments, and restrictions into the contract.

3. Use and define legal concepts by incorporating the legal terminology from your textbook where appropriate and relevant.

4. Use academic or legitimate news sources, such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc.

5. Identify any ethical issues that exist in this alleged contract and result.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Include at least two academic or legitimate sources to support your findings.

Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Module 4 folder, and make sure to follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Be sure to reach out to your instructor early in the week if you have difficulty creating an appropriate contract.

Option #2: Contract Law Agreements

After reading the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) article, "How to Create a Legally Binding Contract," and reviewing the resources available at the Student Career Center (particularly the "Organizational Culture" section of the "Becoming a Great Employee" page), you will create a contract.

In order to develop this contract, you will adopt the role of employee at XYZ Manufacturing. The purpose of this contract is to resolve a conflict between you and one of your coworkers regarding a parking space.

The conflict has become serious and has affected production and morale in the workplace. Your manager has asked you to settle this disagreement by creating a contract, which will be signed by you and your coworker. Compose an agreement that does the following:

1. Present a summary of your contract in the form of an email communication cover letter to your manager for approval - keeping in mind appropriate and professional email etiquette.

(Visit the Career Center and review "Drafting a Cover Letter" for information regarding the development of a cover letter to be sent via email.)In your email,explain to your manager how this contract would benefit both you and your co-worker. This will represent the first page of your paper (after your title page).

2. Present your contract, which should include the factors of time, tasks, goals, potential clauses, assignments, and restrictions.

3. Use and define legal concepts by incorporating the legal terminology from your textbook where appropriate and relevant.

4. Use academic or legitimate news sources, such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Include at least two academic or legitimate sources to support your findings.

Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Module 4 folder, and make sure to follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Be sure to reach out to your instructor early in the week if you have difficulty creating an appropriate contract .
