Businesses are under attack. State and non-state adversaries are assaulting companies using drones, mercenaries, cyberweapons, sanctions, and restrictions. Instead of military installations and government institutions, private firms are often the preferred targets in this mode of warfare. Instead of soldiers and squadrons with bullets and bombs, the weapons of choice are frequently economic hostilities and cyberattacks. This is the new war on business. This Article offers an original examination of contemporary business warfare, its growing importance to national and corporate affairs, and the need for better pragmatic approaches to understanding and addressing its rising threat to our economic stability, national security, and social welfare. It begins by providing an overview of the business theater of war, investigating the combatants, targets, and weapons. Next, this Article analyzes recent episodes of business warfare involving the United States, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China to ground the theoretical discussion in the real world. These case studies illustrate the complex matrix of considerations posed by business warfare. The Article then contends with the fundamental legal and practical tensions of economic impact, business hostilities, cyberattacks, and non-state actors that emanate from business warfare. Finally, moving from problems to solutions, this Article proposes three workable initiatives to better protect firms and nations against the risks of business warfare. Specifically, it argues for robust business war games, smart cybersecurity guidance and incentives, as well as greater supply chain and market diversification. Ultimately, this Article aspires to provide a practical blueprint for government and corporate leaders to reflect, plan, and act with more urgency about the consequential realities of business warfare.

Set in Victorian London, Mean Business draws its principal character, Arthur Yeoman, into a world of violence, intrigue and dangerous pleasures. A brave but unworldly Army Officer, his mission demands that he work alongside the notorious Valentine Fanshawe. Outwardly cruel-mannered and debauched, Fanshawe secretly leads an unusual team who carry out risky operations for the British Government. Tasked with infiltrating a revolutionary cell, Yeoman is quickly out of his depth trying to manage a double life that combines licentious high-living with the acquisition of new and deadly skills. Keeping company with aristocrats, prostitutes, schemers and killers in an increasingly complex web of friendships and betrayals becomes the daily business for a hero who really wants either a straightforward battle or a quiet evening with a good book.

Section 23B.08.300 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) defines the general standards of conduct for directors in discharging corporate duties. The Washington State Legislature developed these standards to govern the manner in which directors perform their duties, rather than to impose liability on directors for negligent business decisions under the business judgment rule. Indeed, the business judgment rule, as defined by leading corporate-law jurisdictions and the American Bar Association, generally protects directors from liability associated with negligent business decisions so long as the director makes decisions in good faith, on an informed basis, without self-interest, and in accordance with the director's belief of what is best for the corporation. Nevertheless, the Washington State Supreme Court has suggested in dicta that the ordinary due-care standard of conduct included in RCW 23B.08.300 is an element of the business judgment rule standard of liability. Under the court's interpretation of the business judgment rule, the quality or substance of a director's business decision will not be protected from liability unless an ordinarily prudent person would have made the same decision under like circumstances. This Comment first argues that the standards of conduct set forth in RCW 23B.08.300 are separate and distinct from the business judgment rule standard of liability, and should not impose liability on directors for unfavorable business decisions. Second, this Comment proposes a legal framework for applying the business judgment rule in Washington state that is consistent with court precedent and the legislative intent underlying RCW 23B.08.300. Finally, this Comment proposes that Washington state courts adopt section 8.31 of the Model Business Corporations Act to provide the judiciary, directors, and the corporate bar with additional guidance in applying the business judgment rule.

A ZLRev article on the parliamentary legislation Private Business Corporations Act (PBCA) that governs company operations. ; This article looks at the provisions of the Private Business Corporations Act [Chapter 24:111 of Zimbabwe (Hereinafter referred to as the PBCA). One of the criticisms of the companies legislation as it exists is that it is lengthy and too complex to understand. Its demands are too many and rigid, that it is not appropriate for the small businessman. It is important to look at the provisions of the PBCA Chapter 24:11 to establish whether the provisions available offer any added advantages to the small businessman than what was currently on offer then. It is also necessary to compare these regulations with the law governing companies, partnerships and co-operatives in order to conclude whether there was an actual need for such new regulations in the form of a new Act or whether it would have been easier and even more advantageous to incorporate these rules or regulations in the Companies Act. The PBCA creates the latest business entity in Zimbabwe.1 The intention of the Act is to provide a new form of enterprise which is most suitable for small businessman. This enterprise would enjoy liberalised regulations. It would be simpler to incorporate and at the same time enjoy the benefits of limited liability. Limited liability is a very important concept in business. It protects the investor from possible personal financial ruin if the business fails. However, it must be accepted that where there is such protection, it is essential to put in place some regulatory provisions for the protection of the other players in the field.

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The federal government has an annual, governmentwide procurement goal of at least five percent for small disadvantaged businesses (SDB). SDBs are eligible for various price and evaluation benefits when being considered for federal contract awards. SDB firms must have their SDB status certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Because of concerns over reports that fewer businesses were receiving SDB certification than expected, GAO examined the SBA certification processes to (1) determine the number of businesses that SBA had certified as socially and economically disadvantaged since the implementation of the Small Disadvantaged Business Certification program and (2) obtain views on reasons for the current difference in the number of SDB certifications from the number that had previously self-certified as SDBs. SBA records show that 9,034 small business firms were certified as SDBs as of August 24, 2000. According to SDB officials, 6,405 of these were automatically certified because of their 8(a) certification. The number of SDBs that have been certified by SBA is significantly lower than the 30,000 projected by SBA based on the number of firms that had self-certified as SDBs. Possible reasons for this discrepancy include (1) company reluctance to participate because of their uncertainty as to when or how the program would be implemented, (2) the perception by businesses that the application process is burdensome, and (3) the belief by some companies that the benefits do not justify the effort."
