“Intel Centrino in 2007: A New “Platform” Strategy for Growth” discusses an extremely important strategic and organizational change for Intel by the creation of Centrino. The development of Centrino was part of Intel’s right hand turn toward different performance measures. It required the company to alter its strategy away from optimizing only on clock speed as the performance method for discrete processors, toward interrelated features that sought to balance features including reduced power consumption and wireless communications. This strategic shift, together with the introduction of new multi-core architectures, fundamentally changed the company’s definition of success for the future.

Scheerer, a licensed real estate agent, and Fisher, a manager of commercial real estate, worked together on past real estate deals and knew each other from their business relationship. Scheerer gave Fisher a tip that some commercial real estate was on the market that Fisher might be interested in purchasing. Fisher made an offer to buy the properties and, with this offer, orally contracted for a 2 percent commission for Scheerer from the seller and another 2 percent commission from himself. Unfortunately, that deal fell apart. Shortly thereafter, however, Fisher formed another company that purchased real estate and bought the very same property. Scheerer was not paid a commission on the deal and sued, contending that he was an agent for Fisher and that an implied contract for his services had been breached. Fisher argued that no formal contract in writing regarding the commission or Scheerer's agency relationship was ever created.

[ Scheerer v.Fisher, 688 S.E.2d 472 (2010).]

Did the authority of the agent in this case need to be in writing to be legally binding? Does the fact that there was no separate, written agency contract between Fisher and Scheerer mean that an agency relationship did not exist?

Susan runs a store that sells furniture. One day, Brittney, a customer, walks in the store. After looking around the store, Brittney approaches Susan to buy an expensive wooden chair for $1,200. Susan gives Brittney a written contract for the purchase of the chair, which Brittney reads. While Brittney is reading the contract, Susan tells Brittney, “If you sign now, we can also deliver to you a free luxury wooden table to go with the chair.” Brittney tells Sarah, “Oh that would be perfect,” and signs the written contract for the purchase of the chair. A week later, Brittney receives the chair by delivery, but not the table. Upset, Brittney goes back to the store to confront Susan. Susan tells Brittney that, “Sorry, we ran out of luxury tables. And our written contract only mentions the luxury chair which we have delivered, and the $1,200 which you have paid.” Susan refuses to give Brittney the luxury table. Advise Brittney if she can enforce Susan’s oral promise to give Brittney the luxury table. Please only use the material in Contracts 2 to answer the question.
