"New England was destined to become a harbinger of trade due to its geographic features and location. It had no coastal plain and was covered with rocky hills that extended to the ocean. Several rivers contained roomy harbors that larger ships could navigate with ease. The soil in New England, however, was very poor since much of it was stony and full of gravel. The area soon became a hub of trading furs, fish, and lumber, while delving into the slave trade as well, although not as much as some of its Southern counterparts. Nonetheless, maritime commerce and trade had a massive effect on the growth and development of ..."

From the Paper
As an apologist for luxury, David Hume emphasized that the necessity of earning a living in a free-market environment requires people to conduct themselves in an acceptable manner, especially with their trading partners. This phenomenon has been defined as "doux-commerce" and reflects the consensus that in a market setting, self-interest is the primary motivation for conducting oneself with politeness, sophistication, and cordiality.

Abstract
This paper opens by tracing the roots of America's commerce back to the Boston Tea Party. This paper details the manner in which the harbors on America's east coast accommodated both shipping and fishing from Nova Scotia to the Florida Straits. This paper delves into the booming economy on America's west coast which brought about the California Gold Rush and the fur trade which originated on the northwest. This paper examines the impact of various industries on America's growing economy including logging, agricultural and the railway system, which, by the 1880s connected the east and west coasts. This paper also focuses on North America's current natural resources and their contributions to the economy including natural gas, which is supplied primarily via Canada.

From the Paper
"The bases for antique economies on the North American continent are simple to define. They were economies of continuous expansion right up to the present, in many ways. Every schoolchild knows that the abundant rivers and rapids on the East Coast allowed the development of knitting mills and the clothing industry. As farmland grew more expensive, people moved westward. The Erie Canal, completed in 1825, linked the waters of Lake Erie (and the lands beyond the lake) and the Hudson River (and New York City, and the world) to the east. It opened up the nation west of the Appalachian Mountains, creating the midwestern breadbasket."

Abstract
The Commerce Clause often referred to as the Interstate Commerce Clause was adopted into Article I, Section 8, of the United States Constitution in 1787. The writer discusses the Interstate Commerce Clause and looks at how the courts have interpreted it through time. This review focuses on the early legislature and court cases that helped shape the current interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause. The authority to engage in interstate commerce is discussed, as well as federalism in regards to commerce. Finally the direct shipment of alcohol is analyzed as it pertains to the regulatory aspect of the Commerce Clause and the federal code that accompanies it. The writer concludes that the Commerce Clause will continue to be interpreted differently by courts in the United States.

From the Paper
"Cook states that the most evident transportation under special privilege is transportation via railroad. This is because all railroads are run by corporations, therefore they need governmental authority. The author goes on to suggest there are four classes of special privilege. These classes include interference by state, whereas authority is derived from a state, by Congress whereas it is derived from a state, by a sate whereas authority is derived from Congress, and by Congress where it is derived from Congress. Out of these four classes it is only Interference by Congress, where authority is derived from Congress that it is clear that Congress can regulate transportation under conditions of special privilege. The other three classes at the time were yet to be made clear by the Supreme Court."

From the Paper
"There have been many various innovations focused toward attempting to make the wireless devices used for mobile commerce user friendly and with an interface design that is effective in transference of meaning in communication. The work of Peter Tarasewich (2002) relates the fact that a "well-designed and usable interface to any application is critical." Websites that are designed properly "help ensure that users can find information that they are looking for, perform transactions, spend time at the site, and return again."

Abstract
This paper compares the application of m-commerce, which is the use of the wireless handset or mobile phone to conduct business, in the developed country of South Korea and the lesser developed country of South Africa. Next, the author reports that almost all people in South Korea have mobile phones, which are used for m-commerce; whereas, the South African m-commerce is less integrated but growing especially in the area of banking. The paper predicts that the use of mobile phones to conduct business will not only expand greatly in both countries but also globally.

From the Paper
"The advancement of M-Commerce in South Korea is attested by the fact that Tesco, a retail supermarket, has launched virtual supermarkets in the country. It put up posters in subway stations in Seoul displaying pictures of its goods that resembled a store and shelves. The posters had codes that consumers could scan using their mobile phones. The consumer can then build his/her basket and make delivery plans which would be done that same evening. The number of transactions has been increasing ever since, more than doubled in just three months. This simply means that many residents of Seoul are now doing their shopping using phones. In those three months that Tesco tried the virtual supermarkets, the number of people registering for online increased by 76%.
"Other areas where M-Commerce has become of prominence in South Korea is in M-banking, sopping (purchasing, reservations and tickets purchasing). These mobile transactions have been facilitated via mobile services MONETA and K-MERCE. Mobile operators have formed alliances with banks to enhance these services (Park et al, 2004). The country has also seen an increase in mobile advertising in the past few years. In the year 2010, the mobile advertisement requests increased by 5139%, making it the fastest growing nation for web traffic."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the information age has been manifested through the explosion of on-line commerce or ecommerce. The writer also points out that the online environment has provided new opportunities and challenges to business-to-business (B2B) commerce and business-to-consumer (B2C) commerce. The writer then discusses the commonalities as well as the differences in BSB and B2C commerce. Specifically, the writer provides a general idea of online B2B and B2C supply chains, and discusses the differences between the two. The writer concludes that customer service is important and even though it could not be considered "marketing", bad customer service could render all the company's marketing efforts futile.

Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"There are some observable commonalities between operations and behind-the-scene activities in online B2B and B2C. This could be particularly attributed to the nature of the internet. Nonetheless, online B2B supply chain and online B2C supply chain could be considerably differentiated with each other, in the same manner as observing their differences between their non-online counterparts. The great amount of products that require transportation due to the international nature of the internet demands B2B and B2C supply chains that could manage such large traffic and incredible logistics challenges, in this case B2C and B2B supply chains have worked on the characteristics that make them notably different from each other."
