BUS 115 module 5 discussion

The discussion post topic for Module 5 is focused on non-compete agreements, specifically from Chapter 14, Section 14-2a in the textbook.

Module 5 Discussion Topic:

Conduct some research (textbook and external research) on the topic of Non-Compete agreements. From your research and learning, please share the following information with your classmates:

1. What surprised you the most about non-compete agreements?
2. Do you consider non-compete agreements ethical or unethical being true restraint of trade? Share with the class your reasons why non-compete agreements are either ethical or unethical. Just providing statements like “they are ethical or unethical” without any substance behind that qualifying statement is not acceptable.
3. If you owned a business, how would you draft a non-compete agreement to protect your company’s interest? What restrictions would you consider to be not too onerous or restricting on employees who leave the company?
