There are a handful of basic labor laws that do generally protect U.S. workers. It’s probably fair to say that most employers adhere to these basic labor laws, because they’d be darned foolish if they do not apply it and if they want to stay out of court. But, that’s typically the job of those in the HR and legal-department levels, where the employees are properly trained in such matters. The companies are also made up of other employees, who might never have heard of these basic labor laws or fully understand their significance. That’s one way problems occur, especially if HR and legal departments don’t bother to properly train those in control, like jerky bosses. Another way problems occur is that, for obvious legal reasons, HR and legal departments are unlikely to openly admit that employee complaints and accusations have merit, and the company is liable. Worse, they might even protect the perpetrators more than the victims.

The Federal Trade Commission focuses its enforcement and education efforts on novel schemes as well as traditional scams to fight consumer fraud. The FTC has orchestrated 11 major “sweeps” and filed over 50 cases and with law enforcement partners in other federal agencies and the states. These efforts resulted in an additional 374 federal and state actions. The Commission also has the objectives to achieve greater international cooperation to combat cross-border fraud, broaden its education programs for consumers and business and step up criminal enforcement against those violating FTC orders.During the year 1997, cyberfraud only accounted for a relatively small percentage of total consumer complaints. But, with the surge of electronic commerce, it is taking on increasing importance for consumer protection authorities.

The marketing industry is continuously growing and evolving. As long as a need can be created, marketing will exist. Marketing firms use marketing plans to outline and achieve their goals.

Every marketing plan is evaluated to know if the marketing strategies employed by the company are effective. From here, the company is able to know the strengths and weaknesses of a particular marketing plan.

There are several indicators that tell if a marketing plan is successful. One of them is the sales or income. If it is going up, then it means you got it right. There are also the direct responses and repeat business of clients. If the numbers are high, then it’s a sign that the marketing strategy is living up to expectations.
