Purpose of Assignment Why do businesses enter into agency
relationships and hire independent contractors instead of
employees. Is it simply cost? Is it a question of liability, or is
it a combination of the two? As you approach this week's
assignment, consider these questions and think about how they
impact risk and what factors in that business create the most risk
for the employees and executives. Is it always the same? Assignment
