However, over the past several years Google has begun diversifying its services to include other web-based enterprises such as GoogleEarth, Froogle, and GoogleDesktop designed to capture more of the user's time and attention online. China is a growing market with the potential to overtake the United States as the leading market for internet users based on quantity or number of users."

Abstract
The paper discusses the business-to-business (B2B) and the business-to-consumer (B2C) website supply chain characteristics such as scalability. The paper explains how traditional and e-business supply chains are being combined. The paper shows how while the business-to-business websites and enterprises might have a shorter and more transparent supply chain with greater consumer integration, both employ many of the same technology solutions to complete or enhance their supply chains.

Scalability
Internet Technologies
Business to Business
Business to Consumer
From the Paper
"E-business and e-commerce initiatives require scalability because of the rapid growth such business models are capable of. Cunningham states that e-enabled businesses can grow and expand so rapidly that if scalability is not built into the system, technological infrastructures can become antiquated within a period of months because of the wide exposure that internet based operating platforms provide (2001, p.93). Additionally, scalability is a quality that enhances the geographic diversity that many organizations exhibit in the contemporary business environment. Scalability ensures that any remote addition to an operation can simply plug-in to the existing IT infrastructure without burdening the overall system."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Data and information security, both in the private and public sector, has launched information and technology (IT) to the forefront of business operations across all industries. Where IT previously fulfilled a quiet but vital support role in most organizations, it now occupies a seat in corporate boardrooms where core strategies are formulated. IT solutions to data and personal information security are front and center in numerous state and federal laws and regulations passed recently such as SP 1386 in California, the HIPAA provisions, as well as related issues contained in Sarbanes-Oxley legislation targeting public corporation oversight and regulation. Determining the appropriate and most effective IT solution to data integrity and protection is a driving concern across most industries today and fully understanding the issues involved is requisite to risk mitigation and compliance."

Abstract
This paper discusses i2 software used in supply chain management. The paper begins by describing the process of supply chain management and then discusses the advantages of using software specifically for this purpose. It describes the advantages to the Nike company of using i2 software and also analyzes the unique supply chain problems that were created for the company by using this software.
From the Paper
"The i2 approach allows a company to keep ahead of structural changes taking place in an industry and to control operations from start to finish. The software enables companies to keep up with changes such as reducing costs and increasing quality through more lean supply chain strategies. The company offers solutions for different specific needs, such as retail transportation, data management, and business processes that must be controlled. Certain specific possibilities are held out by the company for the retailer, notably the ability to streamline the system and to take cost out of the supply chain as a way of maintaining margins and competitiveness through better utilization of assets, inventory visibility, and assuring that each division and supply chain partner will have access to a uniform source of product and supply chain data. The software also enables any company to increase its revenue over simply opening new stores and rather allows for assortments tailored to each store."

Canon's Marketing Battle with Xerox, 2007.
This paper discusses Canon's marketing strategy to compete with Xerox.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explores how Canon "planned" a deliberate, well-conceived marketing strategy that successfully secured market share for the company during the course of its ongoing battle with Xerox. Specifically, this paper looks at the details of the company's marketing plan with an eye towards determining what perceived consumer needs it addresses. In the final analysis, while a number of things may be said about Canon's new, aggressive approach to marketing, the writer maintains that it appears clear that the company has hit upon a strategy that will allow it to revisit its halcyon days of industry dominance.
From the Paper
"Naturally, Canon's general movement towards penetrating into a younger market was only one part of its deliberate effort to gradually attenuate Xerox's position. To wit, in late 2004, Canon's Imaging Systems Group launched a multi-million dollar TV, print and radio ad campaign touting its office equipment as being "user-friendly" in a way that the products of its rivals were (and presumably are) not. The much-ballyhooed "New Day" campaign was highlighted by a "Not Business as Usual" tagline and was the third installment in a multi-pronged marketing blitz that actually began in early 2003. Notably, the "first and second legs" of Canon's long-range marketing campaign emphasized the imaging problems customarily faced by employees in the workplace and Canon's solutions to those problems."

Museum Anthropology, 2007.
This paper discuses the impact of new technologies on the practice of museum anthropology.
1,610 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that new technologies are impacting the practice of museum anthropology by making possible a more accurate interpretation of what ancient objects are really saying, by removing long-held misconceptions, and by enabling museum anthropologists to get much closer to the real story told by these silent artifacts. The author points out that the invention of photography has made possible different kinds of exhibitions, while the invention of x-rays, combined with sophisticated computer analysis of these x-rays, has made possible a more informed understanding of what exhibit artifacts really mean. The paper relates that archaeologists, anthropologists, engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists are working together at the ancient site of Tiwanaku, Bolivia, to develop a large, subsurface surveying project that will attempt to identify artifacts before they are actually collected.
From the Paper
"Yet this was just the beginning of the ways in which technology would shape and frame the discourses engaged in by museum anthropologists. While the possibility of collections of photographs made possible a particular kind of exhibition, more recent advances have made possible a deeper insight into what the exhibitions actually mean. For example, the Krapina Neanderthal fossil bone collection was found in August, 1899, in caves in Croatia. It has long been thought that the collection was a relic of an ancient group of hominids that died out because they were weaker than other groups."

Video Game Violence, 2007.
This paper examines the effects of video game violence on children.
1,081 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores whether violent video games have a detrimental effect on children and how they cause behavior changes. The paper examines various research studies and concludes with the consensus that violent video games can contribute to violent behavior for some players, notably for young males who play for many hours at a time. The paper also emphasizes, however, that the games are not creating an entire generation of violent people as some have claimed and the degree of effect will differ greatly from one person to another and one group to another.
From the Paper
"Concerns about the effect of media violence on children extends back at least to the beginning of the mass media, with the issue raised with reference to films, radio, television, comic books, and so on. As technology brings new types of media to the fore, the issue shifts to depictions of violence in these new media. Both popular sources and scholarly address this issue, asking in effect how violent video games change children's behavior and make them more violent, assuming that it is believed that this is the case."

Without Integration, e-Commerce Is Not Possible
The Commercial Implications of Content
The Heart of the Customers' Online Experience: Personalization
From the Paper
"Best practices in e-commerce are made possible through the integration of dissimilar and often isolated systems together to form a common foundation by which the many customer-facing processes can be made more efficient. Integration is so critical that for any company to fulfill customized orders there must be links to pricing, production scheduling, inventory operations, and fulfillment. This is a cornerstone of any effective e-commerce program as a result."
"The high level of integration requirements necessary for the Dell business model to consistently deliver product orders on time, in the right configuration, to the right location necessitates a multiple of systems working on synchronization with one another. Figure 1 graphically illustrates the Dell Computer Corporation value chain requirements overlaid to their most critical IT systems. One factor contributing to Dell's success in the market is their ability to align IT resources to value chain requirements, all in support of the company's mission."

Abstract
The paper explains that computer aided design (CAD) involves the application of computer technology to the design of the cockpit so that it is more ergonomic and more sensitive to the characteristics of different pilots. The paper relates that, on the whole, CAD technology is an enormous improvement on older aviation design because it allows designers to visualize situations in three-dimensionality throughout the design process. The paper discusses the CAD-based ergonomic analysis programs that allow researchers to create accurate 3-D human models that measure the impact of ergonomics on the safety and reliability of products, equipment and facilities. The paper includes graphs, tables and illustrations.

Chapter VII: Recommendations
From the Paper
"Aircraft accidents that lead to loss of lives receive the highest level of attention in the aviation industry. There are many different causes for aircraft accidents that occur on an everyday basis in the aviation industry, which range from pilot errors to mechanical challenges. Some of those errors are minor, but others can have devastating effects. Pilot errors can be minimized by utilizing adequate tools and various analyses. Human factors are one of the methods that would improve safety. The term "human factors" has grown drastically, and has become more popular as the commercial aviation industry realized that human errors underlies most aviation accidents and incidents, rather than mechanical failure (Greaber 1999)."

From the Paper
"- Only after all the integrations are in place, and the state engines created to specifically track the performance of these systems in synchronization with one another should Dell attempt to re-design their website front-end. What is immediately clear from evaluating their website however is that the approach to managing product selections that invoke a rules-based model needs to be changed to be much more efficient,. Dell needs to move away from a rules-based model driving their site to a constraint engine that is faster, more accurate and does not take so long to react to a specific products' definition."
