From the Paper
" For many companies today, establishing a presence online has become part and parcel of doing business; however, e-business opportunities and initiatives are frequently regarded as being both risky and challenging, particularly for bricks-and-mortar companies confronting new challenges such as a lack of e-business skills, resistance to process redesign, and the ambiguity associated with changing the information technology (IT) infrastructure of the company (Daghfous and Al-Nahas, 2006). In this regard, Jackson, Harris and Eckersley (2003) emphasize that, "As managers increasingly recognize, the Electronic Age calls into question many established 'good' business practices while also creating new challenges and dilemmas" (p. 4). Likewise, Galagan (2001) cautions, "In such a fast-moving competitive market, there are many ways for companies to take a wrong turn. Bad business models, narrow market niches, low margins, premature entry into a market, and going with the wrong technology have finished off many companies and made others targets for acquisition" (p. 33). In this environment, identifying relevant current e-business theories, real-word applications and the potential for future applications represents a timely endeavor."

"In the 2007 ranking of Forbes Fortune 500, the retail giant Wal-Mart Stores (traded on the TSX as WMT) occupied the number one position with net sales of almost US$350 billion (Wal-Mart Annual 2007 26). In this context, the prime objective of the company is to retain its dominance in the global and the Canadian retail marketplace. In fact, Wal-Mart Canada has in recent years consistently outperformed its US parent company, and today accounts for almost half of all household goods sales in Canada. As Wal-Mart Canada's new CEO Mario Pilozzi contends, the key to attaining this objective is continuing innovation in all areas of the enterprise (Flavelle). To this end, Wal-Mart Canada has adopted two prime strategic goals for the short term future. These goals lie in the areas of structural expansion and e-business innovation."

From the Paper
"Managing the E-businesses Image is not an easy thing to do this day in age. Especially because of the reactionary fallout associated with the failure of so many e-commerce companies. However, the e-business model, especially form the business-to-consumer standpoint, is still in its infancy. There, of course, are some old economy philosophies that still need to be adhered to. However, there is still tremendous opportunity and growth over the Internet. But with all of the bad publicity, and the greenness of the industry and its pioneers, there are some rather large hurdles for a newcomer to implement a new e-commerce plan. But, there are some things that can be done to alleviate this."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the similarities and differences between the three main types of e-business models prevalent on the Internet today. The writer explains that there are different e-business business models and then relates that these include business-to-business (B2B) like Intel, business-to-consumer (B2C) like Eddie Bauer, and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) like eBay. Each example website is evaluated in terms of target audience, functionality, and capability characteristic and unique to each model. After assessment, recommendations for each example company are provided. The paper also identifies and assesses the differences and similarities between these e-business models.
From the Paper
"Regarding the methods in which these businesses reach their target audience, although Intel offers lengthy and thoroughly detailed product information, it does not offer any products for sale directly from their main website, thus no shopping cart, pre-order, wish list, or order status. Rather, the website provides a tool in which the customer can choose the right product for their needs through a selectable question and answer method, and provides links to suggested online retailers. It stands to reason that these online retailers have an ongoing relationship with Intel as they provide links to their websites. Intel must not have a department in which to do this. These characteristics signify the likelihood that Intel's main focus in on B2B marketing and sales. "

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."

This paper presents a detailed examination of e-mail in the business setting and its use for the purpose of communication. The writer takes the reader on an exploratory journey through the uses of e-mail in the business world for communication and presents an overview of the positive and negative aspects of its use.
From the Paper
"Today, with the click of a mouse one can manage their own stocks, plan and purchase vacations, chat with others around the world and make purchases of anything they want or need. Another positive advent stemming from the technological boom is the invention of e-mail. Electronic mail is the process by which one can send message to another or many others with the click of a mouse. With the invention of e-mail many problems that were an everyday part of business have been alleviated. Time constraints, the ability to communicate nation- or world-wide and the need to address large numbers of people in many areas at once have all been taken care of with the invention and use of e-mail. While it has had a positive effect on the world of business, there have also been negative aspects of its use that have come to light in recent years. Employees using it for personal use, legal battles over who owns the e-mails and other questions have been the focus of media attention of late."

Abstract
The paper explains that the company discussed in this paper is a service repair and parts installation company for businesses and individuals in the farming sector. The paper then briefly dicusses the company's markeing plan, its enterprise resource planning (ERP) or software 'architecture' and its supply chain management process.
Next, the paper discusses what creative steps need to be undertaken if the e-business is to advance the interests of the company. The paper concludes that while online business is far from perfect and an e-business plan is always daunting for fledgling companies, it is certainly needed in the hyper-active business world of today.
From the Paper
"To begin with, the company in question is a service repair and parts installation company for businesses and individuals in the farming sector. The company itself is not large - it has less than 50 full-time employees - and its yearly sales total about $45-50 million per year with its income from repairs and service work totaling a little less than that. Additionally, it is located in the U.S. Midwest and lies near a number of community colleges that have strong electronics and computer programming departments. Proceeding further, the company is family-owned and wholly private; it has been in business since 1946 and enjoys a loyal customer base. In recent years however, developments within the farming industry have forced the company to re-evaluate its basic operations and whether or not it needs to implement an e-commerce package for its website."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of e-business and its implications, an analysis of three potential ethical problems facing e-businesses today, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Target marketing is a common practice used by a number of large producers, wholesalers, service institutions, and retailers in the United States (Peterson, 1991). According to Choudhury and Cui (2003), "The increasing efforts by marketers to target diverse groups of consumers call for a closer examination of the ethical implications of market segmentation and differentiated marketing" (p. 364). The practice of target marketing refers to the concentrated marketing of a product to a segment of consumers based on the attractiveness of the group in terms of such factors as its size and growth rate. "Theoretically speaking," Choudhury and Cui suggest that "there is nothing inherently wrong with targeted marketing" (p. 364). Increasingly, though, more and more cases of targeting potentially harmful products at vulnerable consumers have raised ethical concerns in terms of justice and fairness, such as targeting sweepstakes at the elderly and handguns at women. According to Choudhury and Cui, "Even indirect and subtle targeting of potentially harmful products at vulnerable consumers has received criticism, such as targeting children with R-rated movies and using animal characters to promote cigarettes and alcohol" (p. 365). Even assuming that consumers are not the targets of such marketing practices, though, they are still far from being completely secure in sharing their personal information online, which brings us to the next ethical issue for e-businesses today: security of personal information."

This saved a great deal of time for customers as they did not have to lose valuable time in their busy schedules, the food would be waiting for them when the returned home and for a fee, was profitable for WebVan."
