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."

Conclusion
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."

Management Leadership, 2002.
A paper which discusses the merging of the roles of manager and leader within a business to improve the organization.
856 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Traditionally, management and leadership have been described as two separate roles with distinct characteristics. The paper describes how the manager follows procedure and exerts authority, and ensures that the organization follows a given set of rules. The leader creates a strong desire in those around him or her to follow or emulate, but may be more radical in approach than is consistent with the stable operation of the business. This paper examines ways for the present-day manager-leader to integrate the best of these polarized functions into one role, and to minimize the dangers of each.
From the Paper
"This division of skill in management versus leadership exacerbates the fundamental problem that one person with both roles faces. Management as traditionally defined is fundamentally conservative; it seeks to understand the situation and devise means of functioning effectively within the parameters selected. Leadership is inherently radical, and may arise from those in subordinate positions. Because it is based on personal charisma, it can be deeply flawed at a logical or moral level. By polarizing the functions of decision-making and implementation into these two extremes, the traditional approach to governance makes synthesis of both skill sets difficult."

Abstract
This study examines leadership ethics as an essential right of passage for leaders/managers working in the transit industry. The paper shows the need to examine the importance of understanding and teaching ethics to leaders in the transit industry and looks at why ethical considerations are necessary for transit leaders. First, the writer develops a theoretical framework for defining ethics as a right of passage for leaders in the transit industry. Then the paper develops a framework for establishing leadership training programs for transit authorities that includes and outlines appropriate ethical standards for the given population.
From the Paper
"A leadership strategy founded in ethics that is rule-based and dictated by procedures will likely be ?insufficient in capacity to engage employees and the public because it will fail to understand the true nature of business? (Keen, 2000). Ethics need be embedded in ?a foundation of virtuous behavior in order to authenticate business and corporate integrity and encourage trust to maintain stability within operation and business practices? (Keen, 2000). Therefore, it is critical that this study ascertain the true nature of the transit industry, and thus build an ethical foundation for success in leadership based on sound governing principles that will engage the public. The resulting framework to be develop will not be dictated by extraneous rules and procedures, but rather formed as a result of the insight provided by consumers and leaders through surveying of the population."

Abstract
"This is a critical analysis of a journal article by A. Gini (2004) that discusses ways in which corporations can regain the public trust after massive public scandals such as Enron, Arthur Anderson, and the Martha Stewart fiasco. The article argues that ethical behavior within the corporation will follow ethical leadership of the corporation's executives, a conclusion born out by other critics and by the popular news media."
From the Paper
There can be no doubt that the public's confidence in corporations has plummeted in recent years, most notably following the much-publicized scandal an Enron. Subsequent examples of corporate greed and corruption - like Martha Stewart for example - have only served to further erode the public's faith that big business is anything more than a pack of high paid thieves and shysters. So then how can businesses respond in this anti-corporation atmosphere in order to regain the public's trust? The purpose of this essay is not to fully answer that question, but instead to present the conclusions and determinations of A. Gini (2004) who argues that corporate ethics is the foundation for public trust, and that corporate ethics arises from ethical leadership at the executive level.

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.

This paper examines the management of business-to-business (B2B) promotions by reducing transactional costs and associated supply chain management requirements.
1,715 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 55.95
»

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."

Introduction
Online Pharmacies
Online Pharmacies and Ethical Issues
Healthcare Computer Systems Security
Healthcare-related Websites
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."
