"INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Retail Internet Sites Industry
Warning
This is a topic in desperate need of clarification. For example, if one takes the term "Retail Internet Sites" to be the subject of the industry, the analysis would go askew for the very simple fact that a "Retail Internet Site" is nothing more than a "domain name," -- http://www.mystore.com -- which is referred to as a "retail site." If that is the topic, then the industry analysis would be slender, since there is only one company, InterNIC.net that has the franchise in the United States to register domain names.
If the topic is construed to be a consideration of retail sites on the Internet, then the opposite is true. Instead of a slender industry ..."

From the Paper
"Doll collecting is a relatively new industry and has gained increasing popularity in recent years (Van Patten, 2004b). For just over 100 years now, collectors have been collecting antique and vintage dolls and dolls that were originally intended for children. According to Van Patten (2004a), 2004 was a difficult year for doll collecting. "Several high-profile doll companies, including Gotz and My Twinn, went out of business, or, like the Franklin Mint, stopped making dolls. Several high-profile retail establishments which heavily sell dolls, including FAO Schwarz and KB Toys, went bankrupt" (Van Patten, 2004, p. 1). A number of smaller doll stores continued to struggle to stay in business, faced by the double threat of eBay and a lackluster economy."

From the Paper
"Years ago, when the internet first emerged in its current form, the thought that one day we would be buying anything, let alone household products, using a computer was laughable. So why did things change? Or did they change at all? Do we now buy more things over the Internet than anyone could ever imagine? Or is it all just still, well quite frankly, a bit of a grey area? "

Abstract
This paper relates the life, success, struggles and downfalls of Jesus Christ and Christianity to the birth, growth and struggles of internet retailing and how internet retailing has developed into the dynamic and popular means of modern day retailing.
From the Paper
"With roots tracing back as early as 1995, Internet Retailing has endured a Christ like life cycle over the last eleven years. Reflecting upon biblical texts describing the life of Jesus as well as reflecting upon the recent history of the American stock market, one can easily deduce the similarities in their lifelines. Jesus was born into a life entwined with much criticism. Although he was renowned for his good works, the rise of his stature invoked incessant criticisms. The negative labels placed upon Jesus, by his popular and powerful critics, gradually dismembered his faithful fold, ultimately leading to his death in 30 C.E. Ironically, it was his death that brought his resurrection and the world-wide recognition of his significance, and the significance of his message. Similar to the aforementioned life cycle of Jesus Christ, Internet Retailing emerged under a predominantly harsh critical scope that scrutinized its notably quick economic gains. With record setting gains and notoriety within the business world, web retailing took a violent turn for the worse in 2000. A powerful group of investors made a public outcry expressing their lack of faith in the businesses sustenance which ultimately produced a widely felt economic scare. The scare quickly led to the crash/death of the "Dot Com" industries in late 2000 and early 2001. Yet, because of this crash, the companies were enabled to better understand market trends, and since 2001, Internet Retailers are better equipped to provide a higher level of service to consumers and have the financial resources to handle the volatility of an economic downturn. This resurgence of web retailing has captivated today's business world and is now revered as America's economic messiah which will save our economy from its present war stricken market. By briefly contrasting the main idea of this critical analysis with a retrospective theological analysis of Christianity, this scholar has outlined the form in which this essay will be unfolded. By initially describing the essence of internet retailing, the reader's will be most aptly informed on the matter and therefore capable in understanding the impact web retailing has had on the U.S. economy over the last eleven years of its life-cycle, as well as where it is projected to take the international market in the latter years of its life-cycle."

From the Paper
"The online grocery industry is a niche market within the greater food and beverage industry. It is a business-to-consumer e-commerce industry possessing the characteristics of both a retail grocer and a courier. Companies operating in this industry allow customers to purchase grocery items, prepared meals, meats, produce, packaged goods, flowers, and just about everything else offered by the major grocery chains. Products are offered via the company website and are delivered to the customer within a specified time frame. These companies often rely upon high average orders to make their margins (a typical Webvan.com order was quoted to be $80) (Weston, 2000)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the home improvement retail industry, which today is a booming success, began with large wholesalers selling building supplies to the American public in the early 1900s. By the 1920s, the store sizes decreased and became the first "mom and pop" style hardware stores, which are now being replace by warehouse-style "big boxes" that have taken over the industry today. The author points out that the major companies of this industry, Home Depot and Lowe's, build and operate "big box" stores, which can sell products at lower prices because of their heavy customer volume. The paper states that, once a company like Home Depot and Lowe's establishes a base, the difference in their success is customer service and building customer loyalty.

It then analyzes the competitive environment both internal and external, while looking at the driving forces and market trends.
From the Paper
"The food retail industry has been around in a form similar to its current state since the early 1900?s. Piggly Wiggly was the first self-service store, opening in 1916, while the first supermarket, King Kullen Grocery Company, opened in New York in 1930. Since then the industry has undergone dramatic growth and continuous shuffling, but all with the same purpose: to bring us the food we eat. The food retail industry consists of the final link in the larger food industry value chain. Agricultural interests, transporters, wholesalers and distributors, and regulatory organizations are all considered stakeholders in the industry, but not direct actors. This analysis will focus on the current structure and trending existent in today?s food retailing industry, and where those factors will lead it."
