This document discusses copyright law and what educators can legally use in their classrooms without obtaining permission. It notes that copyright law is complex with over 300 pages of regulations. Under fair use, educators can display and perform copyrighted works for educational purposes. The document outlines exceptions for educators under the TEACH Act and explains resources like public domain works, Creative Commons licensing, and collective rights organizations that allow more flexible use of copyrighted material. It provides guidelines for determining fair use and notes that widespread commercial use or use that replaces the original work would not be considered fair use.
The state of entrepreneurship in ugandaShakirah Ali
ย
Entrepreneurship in Uganda has evolved over time from a subsistence economy in the early 1900s to one with a growing number of entrepreneurs today. While entrepreneurial activity is high in Uganda compared to other countries, African businesses often remain small and informal. To further support entrepreneurship, Uganda needs improvements in its education system, infrastructure, legal framework, and adoption of technology and skills to increase productivity and the quality of entrepreneurial opportunities.

Do boards have a role in family businessShakirah Ali
ย
The document discusses governance issues in family businesses, specifically regarding boards of directors. It finds that while most family businesses have boards, they are often not functional and dominated by family members. Only 3 of the 10 Ugandan family businesses studied had boards that focused on monitoring, strategy, and control. Most boards lacked independent outside directors. The document concludes that family businesses are reluctant to appoint independent directors to maintain family control, which can increase agency costs.
A board of directors oversees the activities of a company and is made up of individuals with relevant expertise. They play an important governance and oversight role. Different types of boards include policy boards, collective boards, and working boards. Effective boards are team-oriented, independent, and encourage open discussion to achieve results. Board performance should be regularly evaluated to assess achievement of objectives, skills, and individual member contributions.
