BUS 315 Buy American Requirements

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which
you:
1. Specify the main points of the Buy American Requirements in one page
or less.
2. Determine the substantive means by which the Buy American
Requirements would benefit both VectorCal and your new company. Provide a
rationale for your response.
3. Analyze the fundamental ways in which the Buy American Requirements
are contradictory to a capitalist ethos, given that the U.S. government claims
to promote competition and the U.S. espouses a free market ideology (i.e.,
capitalism). Support your answer with two examples of such a contradiction.
4. Debate whether or not you believe that the exceptions to the Buy
American Requirements set forth by the government are fair and advantageous to
the US economy. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Determine the key advantages and disadvantages of using the Buy
American Requirements with the navigation system that both VectorCal and your
company produce. Justify your response.
