Abstract
This paper discusses and shows how businesses use the innate and psychological human thought process to exploit, as well as help, their customers. According to the paper, identity and the question of who and what we are, is largely determined by two main factors. These two factor are our genetic and innate psychological makeup and the influence of our environment, society, family and peers.

Negative and Positive Influences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Advertising and business today is often critically associated with having a negative impact on society. It should also be remembered however that businesses also sell products based on positive as well as negative selling points. For example the Audi car is promoted and sold to the public on the basis of its design quality and good customer communication. Not only does this make us more are of the positive aspects of good design but Audi has also based their marketing on establishing communications and trust with their client base using the idea of quality and innovation. The company developed a 'communications platform' which was centered on the theme of expert and sophisticated design. (Audi.) This therefore promotes the value and importance of good communication and cordial business ethics."

The Computational View of the Human Mind, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how the computational view of the human mind is a philosophical and biological approach to the human mental processes, whereby the mind is likened, quite literally, to a digital computer. In particular, it looks at how philosophers of language and learning theory, such as Jerry Fodor, have since developed its central philosophical and biological assumption and how the attraction of CTM for philosophers and scientists may initially have been because of the seductive simplicity of the digital computer model for explaining cognitive phenomena. It discusses how working out the epistemological difficulties of the linguistic component of CTM has proved problematic since the early, heady days of its origins and has since been contrasted with the ?neural net? model of connectivist philosophy.
From the Paper
"The attraction of the computational model for students of linguists rests in its connections with Chomskian linguistics. Noam Chomsky argued that rather than children simply being ?conditioned? to learn language, the mind of a child?s ability to latch on to grammatical rules, and to be able to apply them in indefinitely many novel contexts, required an ?inner language of thought.? Chomskian linguistics was thus viewed as requiring, according to computationalists that the human mind must have a computational element, or a kind of hard-wiring for the ability to receive language that transcended any Skinner-like ideal of conditioning. (Chomsky, 1959)"

Discussion
From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Abstract
A report on B2B (Business - to - Business) models. Reviews the web sites of merisel.com, kellypaper.com and intellibusiness.com. Evaluates how these sites are set up for value-added suppliers and other business users. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on to the information technology train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling. In addition to simply sharing forecasts and products, successful B2Bs work jointly to provide greater supply chain services, and ultimately larger profits for all partners involved.
From the Paper
"Although business-to-business activities occur both offline and online, the acronym B2B has come to be known and described as the online version. There is much hype given to the potential size of B2B markets and how much bigger it may get than the online business-to-consumer (B2C) world. The gravy train that drives these expectations is the hopes that information technology (IT) will deliver an inflection point in productivity and economic growth. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on this gravy train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling.

Abstract
This paper explains that business-to-business (B2B) enterprises were characterized by business owners seeking more efficient methods of buying and selling their products and services to other similarly situated companies. Today, B2B companies recognize the constraints inherent in these approaches and are refining their supply chain management practices. The author points out that when products have both low demand and supply uncertainties, the basis of competition is efficiency. There are two dimensions of efficiency: Cost and the coordination of information. The paper relates that the ability to provide predictable demand patterns and a stable supply process will allow companies to improve their supply chain efficiencies so that the cost of providing the product to the customers is the lowest possible.

"As a result, supply chain management has emerged as one of the major areas for companies to gain a competitive edge. The supply chain refers to the linked set of resources and processes that begins with the sourcing of raw material and extends through the delivery of end items to the final customer. The supply chain includes vendors, manufacturing facilities, logistics providers, internal distribution centers, distributors, wholesalers and all other entities that lead up to final customer acceptance; however, the extended supply chain for a given company may also include secondary vendors to their immediate vendors, and the customers of their immediate customers."

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

The author describes what he learned about the book by studying its jacket cover and the illustrations on the tittle page and then relates how he was surprised to find out that the first thing the book discusses is how to sit. The paper concludes by presenting a creative dialogue, based on the book, situated at the middle class home of a Zen Buddhist named Zooey and a Jehovah's Witness evangelist named David.

Creative Dialogue Based on the Book
From the Paper
"I decided not to worry, but to keep reading with an open beginner's mind. Perhaps if I try every day, I will become flexible enough to get into the full lotus position. I was interested to learn that Zen seems to be a religion that is focused on the body. For example, breathing is also very important. Also, Suzuki (1997) recommends that we must own our own bodies (p. 27). I think I understand what this means. I think this means to really pay attention to our own bodies. This is quite easy to do when one is in pain from trying to get into the lotus position."

Abstract
This paper explains that Shunryu Suzuki's book, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" is divided into three parts: right practice; right attitude; and right understanding.. The author of the paper then relates that a lot of Zen Buddhism is non-intellectual and hard to grasp. Therefore, she set out clinging to these basic concepts like a drowning person clinging to a life jacket. The author also claims that the book is challenging and resulted in the biggest, most significant shift in her thinking. The paper concludes with a creative dialogue, based on the book, which is a debate about the different religions of an American, Republican, born-again Christian (Andy) and an American Zen Buddhist (Mike).

From the Paper
"This all sounds very attractive - and makes more sense to me than suchness, thusness, or emptiness! The condition of being a roshi sounds so attractive that I can understand why people would pursue it. It offers, it seems, the possibility of living happily in the reality of the present. I therefore set out to learn the mysteries of Zen, through the answers of the great teacher Suzuki.
"In the first part of the book, I learned that according to Suzuki (1997), posture and breathing are essential in order to practice Zen. Suzuki believes that these are vital for right practice."

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."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the differences in the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) business models on the Internet. It describes how different marketing methods would need to be employed by different commercial models and then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each model (B2B and B2C) for particular business situations.
From the Paper
"However, the advertising style on a B2B site is different to that of a B2C in that there is less need to attract spurious clients and the general public. There is a less ostentatious and more low-key approach to the method of advertising. "The web sites usually are rather plain, with no flashing graphics or animation. The presence of links to examples of other businesses is found most often in a B2B site. They are focused on attracting businesses to hire them for a job or to promote the great work they have done with another company." (How to Market Your B2B/B2C Web Site) On the other hand, the success of a B2C site depends on getting browsers to direct customers to the site, building customer relationship loyalty by creating an easy-to-use customer service application, offering personalization and making the site quick and easy to navigate. Another vital aspect is to ensure that customer orders are promptly carried out."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The introduction of the Internet and electronic commerce (E-commerce) is fundamentally changing the way businesses engage in marketing strategies. "Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals" (Kotler and Keller, 2006, p.16). The key components of a solid marketing strategy include a comprehensive analysis of the marketing mix, which includes product, place, price and promotion. Including all elements of the marketing mix optimizes an organization's opportunity for success and is essential to developing tactical plans for selling products and services in a B2B or B2C setting. E-commerce and electronic marketing (E-marketing) is prevalent in business-to-business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2B) settings. This paper provides an explanation of how marketing differs on a B2C site compared to a B2B site."

Abstract
This paper examines how effective business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing strategies account for the differences between these two types of industries and how both are faced with the difficulty in predicting the behavior of their potential customers and marketing accordingly. It looks at how the marketing mix that a company chooses to use should include a combination of strategies to achieve the goals of selling their products and services and how a company website is an integral part of this marketing strategy.
From the Paper
"Companies commonly divide customer types into segments based on characteristics such as demographics, geographic location, or a particular approach to life and advertise specific messages for each group accordingly. B2B firms are learning from B2C companies the importance of identifying particular groups of customers by segmenting the B2B customer base via aspects such as SIC codes (Ojala, 2005). However, the B2B industry's audience is more targeted and also more difficult to reach (Vence, 2002).The Internet facilitates segmentation as a company's website can be customized for specific groups."
