Abstract
This paper explains that the philosophies of Confucius stresses ethics, order, stability and morality; concepts to which business and management should aspire. The author points out that, during the time of Confucius' life, "a gentleman" was expected to be "balanced and should be as good an archer as a scholar"; in today's business world, this translates that an effective leader at work should be a well-rounded person, having addition avocations and talents outside of work and putting effort into his or her family and community. The paper relates that Confucius' universal virtues can help business managers overcome obstacles by using his golden rule (written well before the "golden rule" in the Bible): "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do unto others" or, if you expect your employees to treat you with respect and dignity, rather than with scorn and animosity, then do not treat them poorly.

Introduction
Confucius as Teacher and Statesman: Establishing a Vision; Stimulating People to Gain New Competencies.
Overcoming Obstacles and Helping People to Overcome Failures
From the Paper
"Confucius wrote many important works which are studied and utilized today in a number of societies - especially Asian societies. One of his more poignant and profound works is called the Analects (Lun Yu), in which his teachings - and some of his sayings as well as memorable sayings of his disciples - are to be retrieved. "The Analects is regarded as the most influential Confucian text", and though it is not a continuous story, it covers brilliantly and succinctly the areas of virtue, moral cultivation, education, music and government. "Never disobey," Confucius replied when asked about filial piety."

From the Paper
"More than physical and other resources, changing the mindset and the human factor may ultimately come to represent the new competitive edge for an organization. A mutual pursuit for higher purposes is the fundamental basic through which an individual can manages subordinates and motivate them to work to the highest-level capable. I have realized that leaders who lead by encouraging participation and interest among their subordinates allow lots of interaction between workers and him or her self. Thus, ideas and suggestions are more easily exchanged and discussed. Transformational attitudes in an organizational leadership encourage healthy competition and critical debates among the employees to encourage individual thoughts, so long as the ultimate objective of the organization is met. Intellectual stimulation management style method requires a manager who is confident in his or her capabilities and is constantly seeking new ways to grow and develop the organization. Maintaining the trust and respect of both the clients and the workers in an organization is critical."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer writes of the top five business ideas acquired during a business seminar for managers: leadership, cross cultural communication, business ethics, brand image and business negotiations.
The paper explains that good leadership is the single most important factor contributing to the success of an organization. The paper discusses how successful cross cultural communication is becoming more important than ever before and how the results of unethical business practices can prove catastrophic to organizations. The writer relates that it is extremely difficult to change the brand image after it well established and knowing how to negotiate successfully will improve our interactions with customers and co-workers.
From the Paper
"Good leadership is the single most important factor contributing to the success of an organization. However, most businesses focus primarily on financial results. In doing so, they miss the important fact that their financial results are actually the outcome of the work produced by the employees. The more energized and motivated the employees, the greater the chances of success for the organization.
Good leaders have always motivated their people. Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Gandhi and our own Silicon Valley icons such as Andy Grove and Steve Jobs have successfully motivated their followers and employees to produce their very best work. Indeed, as Twyla Dell so accurately stated of motivation, "The heart of motivation is to give people what they really want most from work. The more you are able to provide what they want, the more you should expect what you really want, namely: productivity, quality and service."

Abstract
This paper discusses three of the five qualities, which the article "Good Managers Don't Make Policy Decisions" identifies that a successful manager is likely to have. It points out that this article indicates that a manager is likely to succeed in a competitive environment if he or she is well-informed with a network of connections at all levels inside and outside the organization from which he or she can both extract and diffuse information. The paper concludes that this article is applicable to any type of organization, which bases its activity on a strategic vision and planning that is developed at the upper levels of the hierarchical pyramid and implemented at all other levels by the operational managers.
Table of Contents:
Talent 1: A Good Manager has to be Well Informed
Talent 2: A Good Manager can Focus Time and Energy
Talent 3: A Good Manager can "Muddle without a Purpose"
From the Paper
"The decision making process needs to take in account not only the business-related aspects, but also human resource issues, including 'politics' in the company etc. In this sense, the manager, in his role as the highest planner, will be able to ensure that the lower managers are aware of the importance of their role in the implementation of the strategic means devised by the top management. The managers at all levels are working together with the upper management, each in their particular field of activity (implementation vs. conception)."

From the Paper
"Starting with the concept of the home base nation and its critical measure of competitiveness being productivity, Porter oversimplifies and obfuscates the true measure of a nation's competitiveness by creating just a single dimension on which a nation evaluates its competitiveness. As many critics have pointed out, a multinational corporation with operating subsidiaries and reach into literally over 100 nations like General Electric drives up productivity in subsidiary nations, like Singapore for example yet does not necessarily translate this into a higher standard of living for Americans. This dichotomy that others point out show that home base productivity is irrelevant to global strength. It is actually the ability of multinational corporations, through a mix of the Porter diamond attributes in addition to tight integration with local, state, and federal or in the case of other nations, their ministries of trade that encompass an entire nations' trade policies that matter most.

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.

Business-to-Business Promotion Management, 2005.
This paper examines the management of business-to-business (B2B) promotions by reducing transactional costs and associated supply chain management requirements.

»

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."

Abstract
This paper discusses how managing a global work force poses challenges on a scale that has never really been dealt with in business and how the adaptability of managers, tailor-made to react and administer to the needs of a diverse cultural workforce, is an ever-broadening goal in today?s business culture. It examines how there is a growing list of personal abilities needed by management that, at times, seems superhuman and how a manager who can work in any environment must be carefully trained and supported.
From the Paper
"Though some would consider sleep of secondary importance in the workplace it is recognized that sleep deprivation severely impairs a person?s ability to function in any setting. In one recent study the exact measurable effects of sleep deprivation on task performance was measured. ?The study reported here provides an initial test bed for this model. We use a simulation of a process control task as the work environment to examine the effects of a model stressor (sleep deprivation) on both overt performance (at a number of levels) and the costs associated with different patterns of performance change.? (Hockey, Wastell & Sauer, 1998) The findings of the study were not all together surprising the study found that workers under the stress of sleep deprivation did things differently and the skills required to maintain functioning were impaired."

A Comparison of Management and Leadership, 2005.
A paper looking at why management and leadership are not necessarily the same thing.
1,248 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that management and leadership are different processes and involve different activities. The paper also compares leadership roles to management roles and the traits of a leader to the traits of a manager. The writer then uses this comparison to illustrate why a good leader is not necessarily a good manager, and why a good manager is not necessarily a good leader.
From the Paper
"Management can be broadly defined as the ability to manage resources to achieve goals. In practice, this refers to controlling both material resources and people to achieve the goals of the organization. Management can be further divided into the tasks of organizing, planning, controlling, and directing. The manager's role is to manage tasks and people on a consistent basis to ensure that goals are met."

Supply Chain Management, 2002.
The paper discusses the concept of a supply chain, the entire production process of a manufactured good from beginning to end, and how to apply it to managing a business efficiently.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper details how a company would create a supply chain to integrate channel partners including suppliers, distributors, customers, end users and service providers. The writer shows examples of companies that have benefited through the use of supply chains, and also brings in the opinion that opposes chains. Ultimately the paper argues in favor of the system.
From the Paper
"Hau Lee, a supply-chain management professor at Stanford University stated that the problems reinforced the concept and need for accurate and collaborative forecasting initiatives. He said, ?The problem is that most companies are doing their forecasting independent of others in the supply chain. If everyone is doing it independently, no one has the full information or demand signals. Uncoordinated BTO is a recipe for disaster.? He further said that companies were reacting, making new efforts to make sure supply and demand remain in some sort of balance."
