Introduction
Section II: Legal Issues Defined
Section III: Ethical Issues:
Section IV: Social Responsibility
Section V: Conclusions
From the Paper
"The creation of the Internet issued in a whole new set of legal problems, from the problem of defining property and boundaries to issues of fair use and copyright. There were problems which nobody ever anticipated, because "cyberspace" is not real, but the people at the terminals are, and real damage can be done to Internet users. Heretofore, laws have been tied mostly to tangible items of, at least, estimable tangible value. When there was difficulty placing an absolute value, juries have been empowered to make a decision for the sake of awards. The Internet has brought with it a whole array of issues which are tied to laws which do not apply, or to definitions which do not apply."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although historically United Parcel Service (UPS) is chronologically older than Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), UPS' revenues are twice the size of FedEx but they essentially perform the same function, the manner in which they operate is different. The author points out that, while UPS' delivery fleet is three time the size of FedEx' ground fleet; in the air, UPS' available air fleet is somewhat smaller than FedEx' air fleet. The paper relates that FedEx is using its own information technology (IT) to manage its various trade networks to provide customs brokerage, consulting and IT for trade facilitation solutions; whereas, UPS has taken a completely different approach in their pursuit of IT and its applications by partnered with four major computer manufacturers - Compaq, Dell, Gateway and IBM - to create the UPS OnLine Advantage program.
From the Paper
"FedEx on the other hand didn't even start as a package delivery type of business. Fred Smith started it as a document delivery system primarily designed to service professional persons, particularly engineers, in the rapid movement of documents throughout the country. The company nearly didn't start at all as Mr. Smith had a terrible time finding backers for his venture that he was trying with every fiber of his being to get off the ground. Needless to say Smith got his company going but not before giving into the pressure of taking on the package delivery business, a venture he dreaded as he well knew his chief competition was and still is UPS."

Abstract
This paper examines how FedEx is one of the leaders in the small-package transportation industry and how the global transportation industry, in all sectors, is highly competitive, especially in the slowing economy that the United States and other countries are experiencing. It looks at how, for the dominant small-package carriers such as FedEx and UPS, this means less freight to move, customers demanding more discounts, and competitive pressure never seen before. It examines how the differences between FedEx and its primary competitor, UPS, are stark, and how how customers and industry analysts alike equate FedEx and UPS as identical provider,s whereas they actually differ dramatically in culture, operations, and most importantly, financially.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The differences in employee training and attention to operational details between FedEx and UPS are dramatic. For example, UPS knows how many times their driver shifts gears. FedEx is significantly less detailed in the operational vigilance. Therefore, the importance of making an investment in the research and training of their employees appears simple to stay competitive, but represents a task of enormous proportions. For employees, such dramatic improvements represent a huge cultural shift and for customers, it represents a more efficient playing field. Examining how UPS?s efficiency model works may reveal a successful foundation to build upon."

Table of Contents:
Core Competencies
First Alternative
Second Alternative
Recommendation
From the Paper
"United Parcel Service has made dramatic enhancements to their technological operations over the past ten years. These advances have paid large dividends in the U.S. market and, in conjunction with the capital raised by the company?s initial public offering in 1996, have enabled the company to significantly expand operations internationally. Despite great strides in electronic access globally (i.e. web, wireless technology, UPS OnLinea Advantage, & UPS OnLinea Worldlink), these services appear to be underutilized. Recently, UPS has been finding growth through geographic expansion. With delivery capabilities already in excess of 200 countries, this method will inevitably fail to offer additional growth. Therefore, the problem UPS is facing is the maturing of their previous growth model and a necessity to redefine or augment corporate strategy."

Abstract
This paper explains that UPS has been the global leader in package delivery services, but now faces much competition from Fed Ex. The author points out that the company currently has 360,000 employees, and net income is solid at $3.54 billion. The paper reports that non-package revenue is rising, but is the slowest rising aspect of UPS, which is the weakness that other companies have attempted to exploit.
From the Paper
"In just October of 2003, ?the company reported a 28% leap in income, in part due to a strong U.S. packaging operation, and earnings per diluted share increased 27% in the U.S.? The UPS package business is currently realizing better profits due in part to a new Next Day Air program; one effort UPS has instituted to compete with Next Day services such as Fed Ex. International export package volume is also climbing at a rate of 8.1% Non?package revenue has increased approximately 6.2%. UPS however, needs to ?focus on expanding distribution and supply chain capabilities,? according to Scott Davis, UPS chief financial officer, in order to ?feed the success of all parts of our business going forward.?

Abstract
This paper discusses the relative strengths and weaknesses found in UPS's organization in regards to delegation. It also examines the management and leadership philosophy behind the personnel structure. A brief examination of the corporate culture at UPS is discussed in terms of the commitment to delegation as a means to expand internationally.
From the Paper
"At UPS effective delegation begins with top management all the way down to the last person to touch or deliver a package. In fact, UPS, by the very nature of its business, is nothing but delegation. Its core competencies are built around effective delegation from one level to the next. Initially UPS is delegated to by the customers who entrust it to deliver a package of some type. At this point, once the item enters the system, it is delegated from one station to the next to ensure its timely delivery wherever that may be. This type of systemic delegation is a core competency instilled in all employees from the day they are initially interviewed to determine if they are a fit with the company, to the day they leave or retire."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"FedEx is still the technology powerhouse and the market innovators in the industry. Its brand recognition is tied to their slogan, "absolutely, positively has to be there overnight," which is still repeated after several decades. This advantage stems from a high degree of reliability that FedEx commands in the industry. This reliability ties right into its tracking system, which is the industry gold standard.
"The most important inhibitor facing FedEx has been pride. While speeding along at a lightning pace in the 1970s and 80s and making unsound decisions to stave off the competition, UPS was slowly but consistently catching up."

The 1997 UPS Strike, 1997.

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The recent strike against United Parcel Service conducted by the Teamsters was seen as both disruptive and successful. It was disruptive to the national shipping patterns and so to business in general, yet the public supported the strikers over the company by a wide margin. This might have changed had the strike continued any longer than it did, but the Teamsters, as led by president Ron Carey, managed to make good use of public sentiment to pressure UPS to settle the strike. From the first, the Teamsters had the high ground given the nature of the dispute and the fact that the public was also concerned about the issue of part-time work and the way companies were using part-time workers to avoid paying full price for full-time employees in the same jobs."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the marketing strategies of FedEx and UPS for entry into the Chinese market. The areas discussed include market entry strategy, marketing mix and the effects these have on the decisions of client firms on placement of their manufacturing locations.
From the Paper
"FedEx?s market entry strategy is what is described as a ?frontal-assault strategy.? FedEx?s strategy is aggressive, high cost and Americanized.
The first thing noted is that their strategy in China is exactly the same as in any location. As the executive vice president of FedEx is quoted as saying ?we?ve got a pretty good formula for attacking any market...whether its China or Japan or Germany, it really doesn?t make any difference.?
"Market entry strategies will normally take into account the environment of the market to be entered and develop a strategy that best suits that market. Considering the high cost of entry into the Chinese market adopting an American approach without considering whether it is the best approach could be concerning."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the unanswered questions that surround his death. The author looks at some of the conspiracy theories that have risen over the years, such as whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, was Kennedy shot in the front or the back of the head, why is there a different coffin when the body is unloaded from the plane?
From the Paper
"" November 22, 1963 was an important and sorrowful day in American history. It was the day John F. Kennedy was shot. Many of the facts from this day are common knowledge to almost anyone who has ever taken a high school level class in history. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, who was hiding in the Texas Schoolbook Depository, as his car passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas , Texas . These are the accepted facts of the assassination; however, many Americans believe there is more to this story, possibly even a government cover-up. Any conspiracy buff knows that there are several unanswered questions and facts that simply don?t add up. For example, did Oswald act alone? If he did, could he have fired all the shots in that short of time? Was Kennedy hit in the front or the back of the head? The answers to these and other questions have led many Americans to believe that the assassination of John F. Kennedy was part of a conspiracy by our own government. The question that I have asked myself many times is: Is the government telling us the truth?"

Abstract
The paper discusses the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and examines the possibility of either the Mafia or the CIA to conspiring to kill President Kennedy. he author writes that the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, discrepancies in the Warren Report, use of different firearms and ballistic information and key things missing in autopsy photographs all suggest a cover-up.
From the Paper
" On November 22, 1963, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Seven days later on November 29, 1963, the newly sworn in President, Lyndon B. Johnson, formed a commission that would investigate the assassination. The Warren Commission, as it would later be known, was to evaluate all leads and facts surrounding both the assassination of the President and the assassination of his alleged assassin. After the investigation was complete, the information found was to be reported to the President. The Commission gave their findings to the President in the form of the Warren Report, as the chairman of the Commission was Earl Warren. President Johnson had appointed Warren, the former chief justice of the United States, to head up the Commission. The Commission was able to compile much of its information with the help of Federal agencies, the city of Dallas, and thousands upon thousands of testimonies from people associated with the case. The Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of President Kennedy and that Jack Ruby had killed Lee Harvey Oswald."
