Abstract
The paper challenges the assumption that the Visual Basic self-help book can teach some of the most complex programming skills in a short 24 hours. The paper discusses the major drawbacks of this book, including the faulty assumption that each chapter is just one hour, the fact that it doesn't go into great enough depth on advanced functions and that there is nothing on data integration or XML. The paper explains that this book needs to be at least four books in a series, but the publisher wanted to drive up the perceived value to the reader and therefore the price of the book. The "Teach Yourself in 24 Hours" has alluring and broad market potential. The paper concludes that the book should be called "Mastering Visual Basic" instead and the key points on programming and integration should be included.
Outline:
24 Hours Assumes The Perfect Storm for Learning
The book's Most Major Flaws
Summary
From the Paper
"Even the most advanced students who are ready for tackling this book would take at least a week's worth of accumulated time testing, verifying, and learning the concepts of the book. When the publishers state learning the subject in 24 hours, they are only speaking of time-on-task, not the ability to comprehend and use the insights gained.
"If this sounds like the publishers are over-committing and under-delivering, they are. It may take an accumulated time of 24 hours to read the book, yet comprehending and applying the complex concepts of this book will take at a minimum days for the most advanced students, to weeks for those just learning a programming language."

Abstract
This paper looks at Long?s Drug Stores which has catered to markets in the western United states since 1938. It currently has over 400 drug stores in six Western states: California, Hawaii, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, and Washington. It examines how the company went public in 1971 and trades on the NYSE and how despite steady sales growth, the company has faced problems over the last year as the market for consumer pharmaceuticals has changed to reflect a greater number of generic drugs and an increased presence of third party health plans, which act to reduce margins by demanding favorable prices. It analyzes the resultant crisis for Long?s which has been characterized by staff cuts, a 2/3 decline in quarterly revenue and the resignation of the company?s Chief Operations Officer.
From the Paper
"Long?s board of directors approved a program to upgrade its supply chain practices in February of 2002. These measures were designed to enhance profitability and to increase efficiency and relied on measures designed to increase front-end sales and pharmacy margins, increase customer service, and improve operational efficiencies. Long expects to expend approximately $60 million for supply chain improvements over a four year period. As of October 31, $12 million had already been spent. (LDG 10-Q, December 2002) Long?s is relying on these efforts to increase profit margins. In order to overcome its problem maintaining a staff of qualified pharmacists, Long entered into a joint venture agreement with AmerisourceBergen to operate a central prescription fill center. Hopefully, this will help alleviate the need for pharmacists."

Abstract
This paper explains that, for the retail industry, globalization, the integration of the global supply chain and improvements in transportation and logistical planning are making it easier to ship products from different facilities and warehouses to any outlet point around the world. The author points out that the Wal-Mart stores use centralized warehouses, electronic data interchange (EDI) systems and a cross-docking strategy to maintain the required inventory levels. The paper relates that Wal-Mart uses high technology (1) to plan effectively and schedule workers shifts, which permits a larger usage of part-time workers, and (2) to identify products that are preferred by the customer and offering them at prices much below departmental and specialty stores through consumer information systems.
From the Paper
"Technology and common platforms for information transfer also require greater transparencies in operation from the supplier. In turn, this allows retailers greater knowledge of the operations and the costing offering them insights into the manner in which the supplier conduct their business and in some cases forcing some changes to better suit their own retailing operations. Wal-Mart mandates that all its suppliers ship their products with radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags on them to the three Wal-Mart distribution centers in the Dallas, Texas. Kerry Pauling, director of Wal-Mart Information Systems Division, pointed out that the new RFID tags would "determine simply if we have merchandise that is in the back room of a store, or if that merchandise has been moved out to the sales floor and what the status of that is."

From the Paper
"Heller (2002) reviewed that Walgreens is a unique phenomenon that employs style and innovation as the main strategy. Walgreens never change its original image as the ?old-fashioned retailer?; it keeps each store in the chain independent, working on its own potential although keeping firm on its central strategy. It helps keeping each store away from financial constrain due to promotional and extra strategic development and preserves the tradition. On the other hand, Walgreens is famous for the boldness for new look. For years the store management invented new approach to survive depression and make use of the resources, for example, the ?sell hot food during cold weather? and ?two minute drill? strategy that no other business attempted before. Now they still apply similar thoughts with the automatic system and first employ latest technology."
