Abstract
This paper explains that crocodiles, which are now cold-blooded reptiles that seek water, were once, during their earliest prehistoric days, warm-blooded creatures that walked on land. The author points out that this transformation is observable in changes in the Crocodilian body over time. The paper relates that it is not known why crocodiles grew to accommodate to a water-based environment, but their adaptations helped them survive the Ice Age. The author states that, having once dominated both arid and water regions, today, crocodiles gravitate toward regions, which provide access to water; however, warming global climate conditions and human interference have reduced their numbers to dangerous levels. The paper relates that several small communities of crocodiles living on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in Africa may be a sign of things to come.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The reason for near-extinction of the Florida Crocodile, the Cuban Crocodile and other Crocodilian species is typically owing to environmental and climate changes (i.e. loss of ample wetlands) and loss of habitat due to human development. In Florida in particular, the building of human homes on areas which were once crocodile habitats have affected the nesting range and distribution of crocodiles. True to their modern adaptations and features, crocodiles gravitate towards the remaining wet, swampy regions. However, awareness of their vulnerability has lead to recent conservations acts that have been mostly successful."

Conclusion
Appendix A
From the Paper
"Home Accessories International (HAI) is a provider of various accessories to the home. Traditionally distribution of goods has been performed via a network of specialised distributors across Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Senior management has recently decided to migrate an existing product line, windowsill protectors, to an online distribution system (e-tailing) in order to reduce the costs involved in relying on agents to market the goods to retail customers. This will be a test case which will be closely observed by other divisions of HAI. If successful, implementation will be extended throughout the company. E-tailing is unlikely to attract new customers in the first instance and this is not the aim of the project. Management will be satisfied to maintain the existing customer base during the first year of online operation."

Conclusion
Appendix A
From the Paper
"Gripping Stuff Entertainment (GSE) is an entertainment service provider specialising in movie rentals. Traditionally distribution of videos and DVDs was accomplished via the GSE stores from which they were rented. Senior management has recently decided to migrate from the traditional distribution system to an online version in order to reduce costs resulting from physical storefront rentals and maintenance and also in order expand the customer base. A very real risk is that existing customers will be drawn over to competing home entertainment providers while GSE implements this migration. In order to mitigate this risk and also to increase general customer loyalty to the GSE brand, a loyalty programme will be launched and integrated with the new internet distribution channel. Offering loyalty incentives to those customers who choose to utilise the internet mode of distribution will increase internet sales penetration of the market while increasing overall loyalty to GSE."

Distribution, 2008.
A discussion on whether the LeapFrog company should sell its products through Wal-Mart's distribution network, exploring both the pros and cons of such a strategy.

Abstract
The paper discusses whether the company LeapFrog should choose to sell or not to sell through Wal-Mart. The paper refers to the advantages of Wal-Mart's massive distribution network on the one hand and the disadvantages of the rapid over-distribution of a manufacturers' products on the other. The paper states that, while selling to Wal-Mart does generate exponential growth in unit sales, over-distribution of products and the price erosion that Wal-Mart tends to force on suppliers over time are two critical reasons not to sell to Wal-Mart. The paper discusses the marketing strategic plans utilized by Wal-Mart and concludes that LeapFrog needs to build out its own multi-channel selling strategy versus selling through Wal-Mart.

Executive Summary
Wal-Mart is Forcing Premature Consolidation of the Toy Industry
Wal-Mart's Distribution Efficiency Yardsticks: Setting Loss Leaders In Motion
Evaluating Distribution Strategies in the Context of Pricing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Wal-Mart's purchasing economies of scale and focus on supply chain efficiencies, which are briefly described in this paper, all contribute to their ability to price toys below to wholesale price to other retailers. The flattening of pricing elasticities of new toy products greatly impacts the profitability of toy manufacturers themselves. Taking a loss-leader pricing approach to selling toys also forces other retailers either out of business altogether, or into significantly minimized operations."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
For years, the debate over distribution of contraceptives, mainly condoms, within high schools has been a hotly contested issue among law and policy makers, school officials, parents, and students. New studies and research projects have uncovered indisputable proof of the benefits of condom distribution in schools. This paper examines the above-mentioned data and provides an analysis of the current political, social, and medicinal advantages such contraceptive distribution programs provide.
From the Paper
"At the heart of the debate of Condom Distribution is the fear that, by making condoms available in schools, it encourages increased sexual activity among teens. Several studies have been conducted to examine whether or not this phenomenon occurs. One such study (Blake, S. M., Ledsky, R., Goodenow, C., Sawyer, R., Lohrmann, D., and Windsor, R. 2003) took place in 1991 in Massachusetts. Massachusetts instituted a policy allowing condoms to be distributed in its public schools as a way to prevent the spread of the AIDS virus and other sexually transmitted diseases. Opponents of the program claimed it would lead to a higher level of sexual activity among teens. The results of the study revealed quite the opposite."

The paper discusses Nokia's refusal to relinquish information about various aspects of its business practices that makes information about its means of distribution difficult to obtain.
From the Paper
"Drawing from our course discussions of chapter 11 of Perrault and McCarthy's text, a few things jump out immediately. For one thing, there is no "one way" for a customer to purchase a text directly; he or she can acquire a text a multitude of different ways. For example, in the last decade or so many distributors became enamored with the idea of the internet and with the possibility that it might serve as a low-cost distribution channel permitting distributors to circumnavigate more costly existing channels; unfortunately, these distributors quickly found that an internet-driven approach to distribution was not necessarily a better way of doing things insofar as things like online theft and the difficulty in a consumer returning an item cut into the expected healthy profits and into the amount of "traffic"."

Population Distribution, 2005.
A discussion and analysis of population distribution in the United States.
1,025 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses several aspects of the United States population distribution and how the population may change in the next five to ten years. It explains that the population distribution in the U.S. is an interesting mix, with most people living in the urban centers of the nation, but enough still live in the heartland and western areas to make the population diverse and spread out.
From the Paper
"The population of the United States in mid-2004 was 293,633,000. The population distribution of the United States, in general terms, is located mainly along the coastlines, with the interior of the country being less populated than the East, West, and Gulf Coasts. In fact, the Population Research Bureau notes, "More than half the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of a coastal shoreline" (Editors). This also holds true with the Great Lakes region and along the Mississippi River. Population centers such as Detroit and Chicago are located along the coastlines of the Great Lakes, and centers such as Saint Louis are located along the Mississippi. Generally, distribution is heaviest East of the Mississippi, and then there is a wider gap until reaching the West Coast and desert southwest. While the population density of the U.S. is only 79 people per square mile, this statistic does not give an adequate picture of the population distribution, because there is so much of the country that is inhabitable because of terrain, inhospitality, or bodies of water. In addition, 79 percent of American people live in urban centers, which means only 21 percent live in the rural areas of the country."

Abstract
This paper looks at abstinence programs and the distribution of condoms in schools as ways to prevent teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS. It looks at various opinions on both sides of the argument and comes out in favor of condom distribution because abstinence-only programs do not work.
From the Paper
"There is an ongoing debate about what to teach in sex education in schools and whether to promote abstinence or to distribute condoms. Part of the debate centers around who should be responsible for such decisions, the parents or the teachers. Opinions vary greatly from state to state and from school to school within states. This lack of consensus of opinion makes it harder on students because they do not know whose advice to follow when they hear conflicting sides of the story. The one thing both ... "

Child Support Distribution, 2002.
A discussion of the The Child Support Distribution Act of 2000.
1,318 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the need for better enforcement of child support laws is evident through a survey that showed that fewer than one-fifth of inner-city children born to single teenage mothers receive child support from their fathers and often do not receive anything. It evaluates how the Child Support Distribution Act proposes a number of provisions that are beneficial to low-income children, families and non-custodial fathers. It examines how provisions promoting responsible fatherhood will help poorly-employed and unskilled fathers improve their ability to provide for their children and how important changes would also redirect child support to prioritize mothers and children over any state reimbursement. It looks at how Child Support Distribution Act was passed and referred to the Senate but has yet to be debated on the Senate floor.
From the Paper
"Current rules also prohibit single mothers and children from receiving child support payments if they are already receiving cash assistance through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. If any payments are made under these conditions, the government retains the money and no payments benefit his children. This rule bars children and their families from receiving potentially large amounts of much-needed child support. In 1998, states collected $2.6 billion in child support for families receiving TANF. However, only $282 million was passed along to the families and children for whom the money was intended."

From the Paper
"McDonald?s doesn?t believe in opening its restaurants without any knowledge of the local culture and tastes. The company caters to a large consumer market with varying tastes and thus cannot afford to introduce products without familiarizing itself with provincial preferences in food. For this reason, McDonald?s distributes its products in foreign locations with the help of franchisees who are well aware of what works in their country. This is an extremely intelligent distribution method because on the one hand, it doesn?t create rifts between foreign governments and McDonald?s officials; and, on the other hand, it helps in providing people with the kind of products they desire. It is important to understand that McDonalds?s doesn?t change its basic product range for any country but tries to introduce certain changes in secondary products in order to make them more suitable for local tastes."

Abstract
This paper examines a strategic problem related to sales and distribution of a product across the 50 US states with a focus on the Southern states wherein a company that is technologically advanced produces enough product but does not have enough retail outlets or sales staff to adequately service its vast market. In this example, the Toyota Motor Corporation of North America is used to illustrate the issues appropriately for shareholders.

From the Paper
"Shareholder approval is required for this strategy to work because Toyota is contractually obligated to its existing dealership network and cannot move away from it without incurring considerable expense because of these contractual agreements. The company simply needs to design more integrated marketing collateral that allows its existing dealership network to more effectively reach local communities; i.e. targeted Internet advertising and strategically placed web-enabled kiosks, in a fashion that new dealerships with the associated sales staff would not eat into existing dealership market share."

The Japanese Distribution System, 2005.
This paper discusses the Japanese Distribution System, a channel management system historically utilized in Japan.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Japanese Distribution System is completely non-conventional from the perspective of Western business practices, which makes it difficult for any Westerner to understand the complexities of the relationship between the various channels and their workers in Japan. The author points out that channel management assumes that active players, not passive consumers, form the major part of this system; they have individual needs and wants and apply these different needs and wants in no regular pattern. The paper stresses that the easiest and quickest method, by which to enter this market, is to form a strategic alliance with an established Japanese company such as the partnership of Kentucky Fried Chicken with Mitsubishi Keirishi.
From the Paper
"The fact is that the Japanese Distribution System came into being during the early years of the seventeenth century, when several cottage industries in combination with the growing urban population gave rise to the phenomenon of a brand new class of people, known as the 'merchant class'. Another important fact to remember is the truth that almost all Japanese companies generally operate on the principle of very little equity, and a large amount of debts, wherein the manufacturers are ready to supply their goods to wholesalers in return for what are known as 'promissory notes' with terms that range from six months to more. "
