Any contract for the sale of goods between international commercial traders may be subject to the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If a buyer suffers damages as a result of a breach of contract, she is entitled to damages under the Convention. The issue in this thesis is whether a buyer may also invoke product liability actions under national tort law if a defective good causes bodily injury or property damage. The provisions of the CISG generally displace national law governing the rights and obligations deriving from a contract of sale. Despite the desirability of removing the uncertainties of foreign liability regimes from international trade, domestic rules of product liability remain, in general, applicable. Only if national tort actions interfere with the core of the Convention's liability regime, must the domestic law be modified.

Despite the importance of SMEs and increased knowledge in the area of strategic management, empirical research on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in this area of management has not only been limited but also neglected. In an attempt to investigate the strategic factors that can influence the performance of SMEs, this study focuses on Malaysian exporting SMEs. This study adopts the conceptual framework in the context of strategic management. The conceptual framework is developed based on the strategic management variables; business strategy, distinctive capabilities and performance. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the business strategy, distinctive capabilities and performance of Malyasian exporting SMEs. The study was based on a sample survey consisting of 150 Malaysian exporting SMEs, which is based on the listing provided by MATRADE. Using structured questionnaires, the data were collected through mailed questionnaires to the managers and owners of exporting SMEs throughout Malaysia. There were statistically significant differences in the performance of Malaysian exporting SMEs that adopted different business strategies, and there is a relationship between distinctive capabilities and performance of Malaysian exporting SMEs. / In general, all of the strategic variables used in this study significantly influence the performance of the exporting SMEs in Malaysia. Although there are different impacts of strategic factors on the various performance measures, in general the strategic factors used in this study seem to significantly influence the business performance of the Malaysian exporting SMEs studied. / Thesis (DoctorateofBusinessAdministration)--University of South Australia, 2005.
