Abstract
This paper explains the basic concepts behind the Scientific Principles of Business Management. The author defines the terms, discusses its effects on the workers and productivity and relates the perceived worker motivations used in this model. The paper contrasts this model of management with some of the concepts behind the Behavioral or Human Resources concept of management.
From the Paper
"Frederick Winslow Taylor created the Scientific Principles of Business Management. His idea was to redesign the workers' role in business by modeling it on the design of a machine. In Taylor's format for business organization, workers should mimic the machine parts, to be silent and operating without question. Workers were to be inexpensive and easily replaced or interchangeable as well (Wertheim, par. 6). He determined that there were four principles by which workers should operate: specialization, unity of command, span of control, and organization by purpose. This paper discusses his principles of scientific management, with a focus on how it affected workers and their productivity. The discussion includes the perception of how this form of management motivates workers in their job performance. Finally, it contrasts with the Behavioral Model of management."

From the Paper
"According to Daft (1997:8) there are four management functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling. These are all functions that a manager needs to perform at some stage of the management process. Planning involves defining goals, and selecting tasks and resources in order to reach these goals. Organizing is the next step. The selected tasks now have to be assigned to the relevant work force, tasks are also grouped into departments, and selected resources are allocated. The next stage, leading, largely involves motivation. The workforce needs to be motivated so that organizational goals can be achieved. Controlling is a process that is used throughout the other three functions. This is a monitoring process during which employees' activities are assessed. The manager determines whethe the organization is moving towards its goals in an acceptible manner, and if not, what needs to be done to rectify the problem."

From the Paper
"Leadership everywhere throughout time has been predominantly male. In America and throughout the world women have been in constant conflict to expand their influence to every aspect of life. Today, women have grown past the boundaries that kept them at home for thousands of years. The leading region of this feminine expansion into leadership positions has been in the United States, the leading economy of the world. To raise one?s stature in a capitalistic country, one must become capitalistic themselves. Consequentially women have, bringing with them a completely new set of values to the world and to business. These new values have made their way into leadership positions, but there they encountered immense opposition from masculine leadership supporters. Feminine leadership values in business are highly admirable qualities because absolute masculine control produces low quality work, is primarily self-centered, and is detrimentally competitive. "

Abstract
In this paper, the writer writes of the top five business ideas acquired during a business seminar for managers: leadership, cross cultural communication, business ethics, brand image and business negotiations.
The paper explains that good leadership is the single most important factor contributing to the success of an organization. The paper discusses how successful cross cultural communication is becoming more important than ever before and how the results of unethical business practices can prove catastrophic to organizations. The writer relates that it is extremely difficult to change the brand image after it well established and knowing how to negotiate successfully will improve our interactions with customers and co-workers.
From the Paper
"Good leadership is the single most important factor contributing to the success of an organization. However, most businesses focus primarily on financial results. In doing so, they miss the important fact that their financial results are actually the outcome of the work produced by the employees. The more energized and motivated the employees, the greater the chances of success for the organization.
Good leaders have always motivated their people. Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Gandhi and our own Silicon Valley icons such as Andy Grove and Steve Jobs have successfully motivated their followers and employees to produce their very best work. Indeed, as Twyla Dell so accurately stated of motivation, "The heart of motivation is to give people what they really want most from work. The more you are able to provide what they want, the more you should expect what you really want, namely: productivity, quality and service."

Contents:
Introduction
Overview: The Fall of Enron
Chain of Command and Management Style at Enron
Managerial Ethics and Enron
Corporate Culture
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The organizational culture of Enron changed under Kenneth Lay's guidance and that of his cohort Jeffery Sklling, who together created a culture that supported the idea "do it right, do it now and do it better" (Sims, 2003: 148). The culture at Enron might best be described as a monoculture, supportive of a particular breed of top-notch executive rather than a heterogeneous or diverse culture supporting open democracy and freethinking. The centralized leadership style at Enron further acted to support a lack of diversity and burden on employees. Many have described the corporate culture that existed under Lay as innovative and competitiveness, where "employee enjoyed autonomy IF they produced quarterly results" (Fox, 2003). Top leaders began recruiting associates from top schools and looking for prestigious talents (Thomas, 2002). Workers were rewarded with amazing perks including concierge privileges and merit bonuses (Thomas, 2002). Among the "bright hirings" during the 1990s included Andrew Faston, who became CFO of the company in 1998 (Thomas, 2002). Enron's internal culture however soon took on a "dark tone" when a performance review committee was established enforcing a 360 performance review process based on Enron's morals and mission. These included "respect, integrity, communication and excellence" otherwise known as RICE (Thomas, 2002). Cultural diversity was not encouraged; rather all employees were encouraged to be the same bright and clever, innovative and daring.
Most associates however began feeling too much pressure and felt that they were judged on the profits they brought into the company rather than the values outlined in the RICE (Thomas, 2002). The practice of posting earnings was common in the company. The worse people's profits margins were the more likely they were to be downsized, thus internal competition in the organization was fierce. "Immediate gratification was prized above long-term potential" (Thomas, 2002) suggesting that top officials did not care much for long term relationships as they did for immediate profits."

Principles of Management, 2005.
This paper explores the leading theories of management principles that have been dominant over the past few decades.

Abstract
The paper takes a close look at the Classical School of Management principles and the ideas of three of its founding fathers. Studying Frederick Winslow Taylor, Henri, Fayol and Max Weber, the essay looks at their general ideas and compares and contrasts how they felt about certain management and organizational issues. The paper shows how some of their thoughts are still in use, but mostly they are seen as archaic by today's managers.
From the Paper
"Management of resources and personnel has been an ongoing effort for centuries and millennia, but theorists of today feel that they have pinpointed how to best exploit and expend those who are being managed. Yet, there have been recurring and influential theories on management that are still somewhat significant and meaningful in this day and age of academic business theory. This paper will look at some of the reigning theories of management principles which have arisen and dominated over the past few decades, as we grew to the level of management and business where our United States society now stands. The "father" of modern management principles was an American named Frederick Winslow Taylor. His school of thought was termed the Scientific Management School. Using principles and ideas borrowed from the field of industrial engineering, Taylor and his colleagues worked to find the most efficient ways of organizing jobs and work."

Abstract
The internet has brought about an incredible evolution in business practices and has vastly altered the ability of businesses to reach their clients and suppliers. This paper examines how, although business-to-business and business-to-consumer companies operating on-line are similar in many ways, the differences are also significant. It discusses many of the differences and outlines why those differences are so vital to the success of these companies. It also shows how from sales to orders to software integration and delivery systems, the variations are important.

From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Abstract
In this paper the author discusses the qualities of an outstanding manager. These characteristics are evaluated from the perspective of peers and subordinates. Additionally, the author examines how strong managers can have a positive effect on an organization even during challenging times. Various management principles are presented and evaluated.
From the Paper
"The world's best managers are also some of the most passionate people in any organization. They are the reason that many organizations advance even in the toughest of times because they bring out the best in people around them, including peers and subordinates, through a passion for bringing change about for the better. Excellent management combines all these attributes and a great sense of when to use which managerial strategy in which situation at the best possible time, and in that innate sense is what excellence in management is all about. Aguirre, Calderone, Jones (2004) state that the management team must band together and have a consistent and strong show of support for any strategy to be successful. "

Abstract
A report on B2B (Business - to - Business) models. Reviews the web sites of merisel.com, kellypaper.com and intellibusiness.com. Evaluates how these sites are set up for value-added suppliers and other business users. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on to the information technology train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling. In addition to simply sharing forecasts and products, successful B2Bs work jointly to provide greater supply chain services, and ultimately larger profits for all partners involved.
From the Paper
"Although business-to-business activities occur both offline and online, the acronym B2B has come to be known and described as the online version. There is much hype given to the potential size of B2B markets and how much bigger it may get than the online business-to-consumer (B2C) world. The gravy train that drives these expectations is the hopes that information technology (IT) will deliver an inflection point in productivity and economic growth. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on this gravy train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling.

Business-to-Business Promotion Management, 2005.
This paper examines the management of business-to-business (B2B) promotions by reducing transactional costs and associated supply chain management requirements.

Abstract
This paper explains that business-to-business (B2B) enterprises were characterized by business owners seeking more efficient methods of buying and selling their products and services to other similarly situated companies. Today, B2B companies recognize the constraints inherent in these approaches and are refining their supply chain management practices. The author points out that when products have both low demand and supply uncertainties, the basis of competition is efficiency. There are two dimensions of efficiency: Cost and the coordination of information. The paper relates that the ability to provide predictable demand patterns and a stable supply process will allow companies to improve their supply chain efficiencies so that the cost of providing the product to the customers is the lowest possible.

From the Paper
"As a result, supply chain management has emerged as one of the major areas for companies to gain a competitive edge. The supply chain refers to the linked set of resources and processes that begins with the sourcing of raw material and extends through the delivery of end items to the final customer. The supply chain includes vendors, manufacturing facilities, logistics providers, internal distribution centers, distributors, wholesalers and all other entities that lead up to final customer acceptance; however, the extended supply chain for a given company may also include secondary vendors to their immediate vendors, and the customers of their immediate customers."

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Abstract
This paper provides an understanding of the importance of the acquisition of business knowledge in an academic environment in order to fulfill desired future career objectives in a defined specialty area of choice. The author illustrates how a foundation for growth and development can be achieved by participation in a successful business educational program.
From the Paper
"In order to fulfill many desired career goals, individuals are often required to obtain advanced degrees in reputable business programs that offer a well-rounded view of primary business units and the organization as a whole. Business school faculty educate students in concepts and terminology utilized in daily business practices, but they often fail to conceptualize the importance of each business unit as part of a whole. Unfortunately, faculty members are trained in specific areas and possess little knowledge of areas beyond their specialties; therefore, they are unable to provide students with the type of knowledge that will permit them to view the organization as a whole."
