Explanation / Answer

For-profit businesses are usually of three primary legal forms, including unincorporated, corporations and limited liability companies. There are other forms of businesses, too, for example, nonprofit, franchises, government-owned corporations, cooperatives, limited liability corporation ("L3C"), etc. The three primary forms are explained below. (More information is available in the topic Enterprise Law.) A corporation is a privately owned corporation or a publicly held corporation, depending on whether the corporation is owned privately or by the public at large. Business people should seek the counsel of a lawyer when determining what legal form of business they should choose. The tension between hardware and software engineers has led to an interesting relationship. The two types of engineers must learn to work together because software and hardware engineers need each other in proper communication to achieve separate goals. "The types of hardware that are being developed have to keep up with and continually inter phase with software developments for all types of applications across the board in all different fields of study. As CPU's increase in their capacity, the software created will continually take up more than enough room which allows the continual growth of CPU's within the industry" (Sauer, 2004). From research completed, the balance between software and hardware engineers must stay of equal importance in order for optimal work completion. When engineers do not line up with similar objectives, problems with the plans hardware engineers have established cannot be met because of the lack of software development for hardware projects. John Bruggeman, Chief Marketing Manager of Wind River, points to the real problem behind this exact scenario that the "hardware guys pushed forward and the software did not keep up" (John Bruggeman and Wind River, 2008). Bruggeman contributes a lack of communication and connection between software and hardware engineers created this problem, and an increase in communication and connected goals achieved can correct and prevent this problem. The latest trend in software development is called "Cloud" development. It is referring to software that runs on the Internet rather than on your computer. Another trend in software development is "personal computing" (there may be a better word for it) where software is written for handheld devices rather than a PC.
