From the Paper
"The Canteen Corporation's Canteen Vending Services (CVR) is implementing a Total Quality Management (TQM) program with the specific intent of improving its internal operating processes. Quality research stipulates that executive leadership must champion the need for change which is spearheaded through the TQM program and CVR is no exception (Avery & Zabel, 1996). The TQM implementation project is going to utilize the standard DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) format in both structure and content and will result in a more efficient process that can be modeled for other business process reengineering (BPR) initiatives planned in the future. The specific tools used are the as-is and to-be flowcharts in tandem with Gap analysis."

Abstract
The paper is a literature review providing an overview and background of the resource-based view of business management theory. The paper refers to this as the RBV or resource-based theory model of business management and focuses on how an organization can utilize assets and resources within the organization to gain a competitive advantage in the global market. The paper concludes that the results of the preliminary research review suggest many organizations are interested in implementing and using RBV theory. However they must first take time to evaluate their resources and assess the cost-to-benefit ratio if RBV theory is translated into action and policy within the organization.
From the Paper
"Arend (2006) outlines four basic "tenets" of RBV theory to assess whether empirical tests of the RBV are adequate to assume this theory is applicable to organizations as a whole. While ultimately Arend concludes there is not enough satisfactory empirical analysis providing data supporting RBV, there is much in the way of qualitative analysis supporting the use of RBV as a strategic management tool for growth and sustainability (Barney, 1991). The four tenets described by Arend (2006) suggest for RBV theory to be successful it must meet the following criteria. First, any test of the success or failure of RBV must "measure the benefit predicted by RBV theory" (p. 409). Barney (1991) suggests the "benefit arising from a resource-based philosophy" is that of a competitive advantage, one organizations can sustain if they maintain their resources, or adapt their resources to maintain competitive with other organizations ."

Abstract
This paper defines risk management and assessment and discusses their importance to corporations and the public. The paper then focuses on effective risk management tools. It describes three websites and discusses their understanding of risk management. The paper also discusses specific websites that do not display a thorough understanding of risk management and assessment.
From the Paper
"Risk management needs to be understood from a variety of angles. Firstly, risk should be defined for its nature and effect upon not only the company, but also all possible stakeholders. Risk management procedures exist to protect both the workplace, the workforce, or the public. Risk to the corporation is anything endangering the vision, mission and profitability of the company. Secondly, risk to the workforce entails those risks that may result in injury or death to the employee, or that may lead to health or other physical hazards. Employees may also incur risks from non-physical sources such as long work hours or a highly stressful job situation, which could be brought about by a variety of factors. Thirdly, risks can also be posed to the public, in terms of health, safety and financial well-being. A gas company may for example risk the health of the surrounding population by exceeding legally allowed gas emissions."

Abstract
This paper looks at the study of entrepreneurial business strategies in China. This paper focuses on investigating the significance of smaller forces in order to assess the current management and business strategies in China. The paper also looks at the forces of globalization and information technologies and how they have proven to be fundamental in shaping modern entrepreneurial business strategies in China. The author argues that Chinese business strategies have embraced both elements both independent from the other as well as in conjunction with each other and that the move to incorporate these forces has had an impact on business and management strategies in the Chinese workplace environment.
From the Paper
"Arguably, the point of discussion that is of the most interest, however, is that the alterations in Chinese business strategy have not been imported from Western business strategies. This is to say that the Chinese businesses did not simply set out to acquire successful management strategies and apply them to their native businesses. Rather, the business strategies that are currently employed by China are extremely different from those of the West and focus more on the strategies of employment and occupation rather than mechanization, as well as comparable labor- related practices. Indeed, business practices in China are currently a matter of profound interest for both the United States and the rest of the world's economically- developed countries, as the business and management strategies found within this country are relatively unique in terms of a traditional business sense.

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.

1,715 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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.

From the Paper
"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."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies how German businesses are managed, focusing on the personalities and work styles of German managers. The paper begins with a general discussion of the present German economy -- including the recent downturn -- and the negative impact of reunification. Then the paper assesses German management culture, which it says prides itself on customer service and product quality. The paper also analyzes how managers in Germany -- most of whom are men -- rise to positions of power within their companies. This "man's world" is a large focus of the author's assessment. Other influences the paper examines are education levels and the role of labor unions.
From the Paper
"The new government is fairly leftist, combining the Social Democrats with the German "Green" party. Schroeder, in one of his first pronouncements, made it clear that he was going to create a plan whereby business and labor would come to some sort of agreement, including a revision of the current tax codes, and perhaps a reduction in the very excessive number of paid vacation and holidays that German workers now receive (by far the most generous in all of Europe). "With only the basic frame work of new tax regulations hinted at, already critics are complaining that these new regulations would place an unfair burden on family-owned businesses, and hurt the economy in general. Before leaving office, Kohl did get some measures passed, such as cutting pensions and sick benefits. Schroeder seeks to restore these and find some new revenues elsewhere."

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.

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."
