Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the combined effects of financial services companies striving to drop the cost of providing customer service and the significant rise in individual investors' interest in taking control of their own investments continues to increase the use of online securities trading. Further, the writer points out that many individual investors rely on the Internet as a means of learning as much as they can about specific investments before executing a stock or bond trade online, and this factor alone is changing the landscape of financial services. The writer discusses that financial services firms are walking a fine line between automating transactions by putting powerful investment tools in the hands of individual investors, while at the same time educating them of the financial benefits of long-term investing. The writer concludes that individual investors have more control over their funds than ever before, yet with that freedom comes a high level of responsibility to make sure the advice, applications and tools they gain access from financial services firms are in fact the best match with their investment needs.

From the Paper
"Financial Services firms are pursuing a wide variety of online services strategies to reduce the cost per transaction, and this cost reduction strategy is creating a series of Web-based applications that have rich functionality and features previously only brokers had available. The costs of having individual investors speak with investment representatives is significantly higher than having the question respond to or transaction completed online. As a result of the cost reduction benefits of these online strategies, financial services firms are adopting them for all segments of customers. This technological shift to online investment advice and transaction tools is being influenced by the major unmet needs of individual investors for expertly-written content on the one hand and greater control over their investments on the other. Financial services firms segment their customer bases by their net worth and projected lifetime customer value, and the lowest-value customers are routed to Web-enabled suites of applications and content portals. Those customers that have the potential of generating a higher lifetime value for the financial services firm, and as a result they are provided a higher level of service including a dedicated account representative. This segmented approach to delivering service is proving to be profitable for financial services firms."

Abstract
This paper utilizes Amazon and eBay to demonstrate that the Internet not only offers businesses a unique set of opportunities to reach customers in an unprecedented and successful manner but also creates a plethora of threats to their front-end and back-end systems. The author points out that front-end systems refer to a workstation or group of workstations, which supply operators with the ability to network with a large-scale computer system; whereas, back-end systems refer to business and legacy systems that support inventory, the order processing and receivables for both buyers and suppliers in business-to-business e-commerce. The paper examines the security analysis process and the associated assessment tools, which assist online businesses in eliminating or reducing these security vulnerabilities.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"These are emails that are sent to members supposedly from eBay. These emails assert that there is some type of problem with the member's account and their username and password is needed to address the problem. The individuals that send the emails then use this information to enter member accounts and in many cases charge the credit cards of members or place ads in their name. To combat this issue, eBay warns members to always log into the official eBay site because it provides a list of all the emails that have been sent to the member by eBay. If an email is not contained in the list, it is a fake email and should be discarded."

Online Banking and Security, 2005.
A discussion about internet security and the relative risks involved in online banking.
3,024 words (approx. 12.1 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The literature presented in this paper shows that the online banking service is vulnerable to attacks from Internet-savvy hackers and thieves. The paper argues that it is not totally safe to perform online banking and bases this opinion on the facts as presented in the body of literature available. It explains that the most important thing a customer can do - and banks can do - is stay informed and utilize cutting edge security systems, including virus scans and virus removers. Another important thing a customer should do is make sure that he or she is protected against financial loss, in particular if the bank is responsible for the breach in security. It concludes that if a bank refuses to offer written contractual assurance against Internet theft as a result of flaws in its server or other technologies, a customer would be wise to change banks.

From the Paper
"Securities Online should utilize the private stock financing option by developing an investment package available to private investors. Securities Online would create a series of A and/or B stock derived from its intrinsic worth which it could then offer to private investors that may, or may not, be venture capital investors. More often than not, this type of approach allows friends and family to invest in an objective fashion without the personal investment in the operation as a family member because rather than a personal loan they are actually receiving stock in a corporation that happens to be managed by friends or family."

Online Trading and Europe, 2005.
A discussion on theoretical concepts behind business models with an application to the European market.

Abstract
This paper discusses the theoretical concept behind business models as proposed by Weill, Malone, D'Orso, Herman and Woerner in their 2004 research study regarding business models as a measure of business solvency and success. Their observations are applied to the online trading industry in the European market and several specific companies are examined relevant to the broker business model as seen in the cited study.
From the Paper
"The study of business and business operations as an academic and professional pursuit has, since the rise of management studies, been primarily concerned with producing a set of quantifiable metrics that define and measure the business. While such metrics are certainly requisite in evaluating and assigning worth, determining valuation and assigning appropriate cost structures to a business, they do not determine operational validity. As Weill, Malone, D'Urso, Herman and Woerner (2004) make clear in their definitive study on business model validity, achieving operational efficiency has as much to do with enacting the most appropriate business model as does implementing the most effective cost-saving measures.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

From the Paper
"The vast majority of people in the mental health community feel that there is a huge ethical burden that online therapists are required to bear. These ethics are really no different from the ethics that are in place at traditional practices. However, these ethics are more difficult to enforce because of the lack of physical contact that the therapist and the patient have. For this reason, psychologists must be given a clear description of the ethical challenges that they face and how they can be addressed. Carlson and Harvey (2003) assert that many organizations in the mental health arena have begun to address these issues and make them clear to practitioners."

Porter's Market Analysis of the Online Retail Market
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the market share of the product lines of the company. Similarly, there is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the sales that the company can hope to make using online retail concepts. For example, a market that has a large number of Internet users will have larger volume of online purchasers. At the same time however, the Internet can also offer individuals located at destinations that are very geographically apart an option to purchase products that might have otherwise not been available to them. Therefore, a customer in Taiwan could purchase a product from a store based in the U.S., U.K. or Australia without ever having to leave their homes."

Online Star Newspaper: 27 April 2007
Printed Version
From the Paper
"When scrutinising advertisements in the two editions of the newspaper it is visible that the products and target markets were different based on the media being used. Despite that fact, advertisements are important to both versions of the newspaper. In terms of user friendliness, both newspaper versions have their problems and advantages, with the paper edition being part of a societal and historical habit, despite being more difficult to navigate compared to the electronic version. The electronic version tends to overcrowd the homepage, leading to confusion at times. Finally, interactivity is the element that best separates the two versions of newspaper that have been compared. The paper version is a classic that has been and will be around for a very long time; however, it cannot compete with the vast interactivity offered by the electronic version. Ultimately, online journalism adds a new and useful dimension to a profession that always has use for new forms of communication and information."

"Many analysts have contended that when the growth rate for online advertising begins to outpace traditional advertising, the dominance of online advertising will become clear. This milestone first happened during 2005 when full-year U.S. Internet advertising accounted for 7% of spending while the total advertising market grew by only 3%. According to many investment analysts contend that 14% or more of total advertising spending by 2010 will be from online advertising, and within the total set of digital marketing spending, search advertising will be the largest growth area."

"Founded as a service bureau in 1982 by Bill Porter, a physicist and E*Trade provided online quote and trading services to Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and Quick and Reilly. This led Bill Porter to wonder why individual investors had to pay a broker hundreds of dollars for stock transactions. With incredible foresight, he saw the solution at hand. He envisioned that someday everyone would own computers and invest through them with unprecedented efficiency and control. It would take years for the investment world to catch up with Bill?s vision. In 1992, E*Trade Securities, Inc., one of the original all-electronic brokerages, was born and began offering online investing services through America Online and CompuServe. With the launch of the Palo Alto, California based www.etrade.com company in 1996, demand for E*Trade services exploded."

From the Paper
"Meanwhile, the coming of the new millennium has brought new and more challenging technologies. Different forms of communications such as Internet, mobile phones and SMS, Internet chat or MIRCs, and e-groups penetrated majority of the countries around the world. Communication through computer - generated networks became very visible. This enables any individual to talk with someone you cannot see in a face-to-face basis, to buy something and have it delivered without having to go out of your home, to research for any information with just one click on the Internet, or to meet new friends. Even on - line studies or distance education through computer - generated communication sprouted like mushrooms. More and more schools started to offer distance form of learning to accommodate students who, due to lack of time, opted to enroll in a much "scheduled-free" learning method. Furthermore, the idea of learning through online gave birth to online academic communities, as pioneered by Stanford University's Club Nexus. This academic community brings the students of the same preference closer to one another and at the same time broadens the students "world"."
