From the Paper
"Russian - American business relations in recent years are characterized by the 2001 agreement between President Bush and President Putin in which both countries decided their "determination to foster a new dynamic in American-Russian economic interaction" (The White House, 2001). Both nations are now set on a course of increased trade with a group of elite business men attending a summit in Washington DC in 2005 as a major step in the constantly improving business relations between the United States and Russia (Russian Embassy, 2007). The United States and Russia are thus important business partners as American investment in Russia has increased to $6.3 billion in 2005 (Russian Embassy, 2007). Furthermore, Presidents of both countries have "expressed their support of the initiative by Russian and U.S. business communities to launch the Russian-American Business Dialogue as a permanent communication channel between the business circles and the government agencies of the two countries involved" (Russian Embassy, 2007)."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the striking differences between Japanese and U.S. business customs which emanate from their different cultures. The author looks at the main concepts that differ between the two nations such as the Japanese emphasis on trust which they believe must be a major component of all long-term relationships. The author gives the example of how contracts do not have as much meaning as with U.S. business relationships. The author discusses in detail the main concepts that the Japanese work under, trust and harmony, unity and intuitive decision making. In conclusion the author points out that although the customs of Japanese business relationships are becoming more widely known and understood, he still recommends that a third party intermediary is taken to help in transactions. This, he states is quite common practice and a preferred practice of the Japanese so that many of the common errors of business protocol can be avoided.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"This aspect of the Japanese value system has important implications for business negotiations with Japanese clients or partners and is an area where particularly Americans with their somewhat "helter-skelter," lifestyles tend to look upon as superfluous. Therefore, this striking difference of culture-clash is by way of contrast and comparison quite an important factor for the American businessperson to study very carefully if one wishes to conduct business on any level in Japan. Executives of the Japanese organization will want to spend a great deal of time in getting to know prospective foreign associates and it explains why there is so much emphasis on the getting acquainted phase of the first meeting and why informal socializing is such a crucial component of establishing a business alliance in Japan."

Abstract
This paper is a careful examination of the similarities and differences in the business and legal climates in the UK and U.S. It discusses how the common law heritage of most of the countries in the United States (Louisiana?s law are based largely on the Napoleonic Code) and the United Kingdom ensure a number of similarities in the manifestation of contemporary laws. It points out, however, like the electrical outlets and doorknobs in use in both countries, a sufficient number of differences exist to make direct comparisons between the two nations difficult but interesting. It explains how it has been shown that traditional contract laws in the U.K. and U.S. have both developed rules and principles that control the voluntary assumption of obligations, regulating the performance of obligations so assumed, and providing sanctions for failure to perform. The writer concludes that both countries' cultural traditions are reflective of the respective country's heterogeneity and its central importance in world affairs over the past several centuries.

From the Paper
"The United Kingdom and the United States share a common heritage, language and culture. Even the U.S. Constitution itself was significantly influenced by the political concepts emerging from the U.K. at the time. Today, the two countries are staunch allies in the war on terrorism, and both countries continue to enjoy high levels of trade with each other. Notwithstanding the many commonalities between the two English-speaking nations, a sufficient amount of dissimilarities exist and a better understanding of these differences can provide some insight into how these countries engage in business today."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the customer-centric business model is a necessary hybrid delivery system of goods and services in today?s business environment. It shows how, with the advent of the Internet and e-business, customers are no longer limited by traditional geographic parameters for their purchase choices. It also shows how other factors that have established boundaries to the consumer?s choices, such as limited knowledge of purchase options, time constraints, the inability to travel and research options before making a purchase choice, have since been dissolved.
From the Paper
"In a market economy, business managers are concerned with making a profit, but the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximization of profits by minimizing costs, it is the avoidance of loss, argued Peter Drucker, management guru and economist. "It is the first duty of a business to survive. This is not to say that profits are unimportant." An enterprise must make enough to cover future risks and to enable it to stay in business. Many firms miss this point. In cutting costs to maximize profits, they liquidate assets and under-invest in innovation Drucker suggests there is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer. "It is the customer who determines what a business is. What the customer thinks he is buying, what he considers ?value,? is decisive."

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."

Customer Satisfaction - Customer Loyalty
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"A customer may be satisfied without necessarily holding loyalty toward the product of a company. For example, when someone enters a store to purchase a soft drink and that individual prefers Coca Cola to Pepsi but the store is out of the Coca-Cola product the individual who then purchases a Pepsi instead of going to another store to procure a Coca Cola product is satisfied with the Coca Cola product but not loyal in purchasing habits. The loyal customer will go to another store to procure the desired and loyally chosen Coca Cola product. The loyal customer is the higher valued customer by the company."

Customer Experience and Business Organizational Behavior, 2002.
This paper evaluates the relationship between customer experience and business structure.
2,789 words (approx. 11.2 pages), 8 sources, $ 83.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper studies the relationship between customer experience and idealized business or organizational structure, as advanced by Prahalad and Ramaswamy in an article from 2000. The writer then offers a set of criteria against which such a theory can be assessed. The paper identifies the key theoretical constructs which underpin the movement toward integration of customer experience and competence into other business systems.
From the Paper
"The creation of superior customer value is accomplished because of an organization's ability to continually generate intelligence about customers' expressed and latent needs and about how to satisfy those needs. Typically, intelligence generation has been treated as a generic activity of the organization but the new competitive environment necessitates the development of a more customer-focused and interactive intelligence-generation capability (Slater & Narver, 2000). Again, the Internet and other information technologies are ideal vehicles for gathering this kind of intelligence and creating the "customer communities" that Prahalad and Ramaswamy (2000) have described. Virtual communities are cost-effective meeting places for a firm and its customers, and also offer rapid turn-around and information exchange."

From the Paper
"Have you ever been to a record store and bought a CD with a song you like, only to find out that's the only good song on the entire CD? It makes you feel like you've wasted your money. CD stores have come up with a way to satisfy their customers, allowing them to make sure they like the album before they buy it. Stores have kiosks where you can scan any album in the store and listen to the songs on it. But customers who do find that there's only one good song on the album usually don't buy the album. They'll go home and download the one song they want (whether legally or illegally). But the people who don't have computers, or don't have internet access, or just don't have the knowledge of how to, cannot go home and download the song they want. They still have to buy the whole CD if they really want that song. Well, we've come up with a solution for these people. This solution is "Custom Compilations." It will allow people to go into a record store and purchase only the songs they want."

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.

"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
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.

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."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the differences in the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) business models on the Internet. It describes how different marketing methods would need to be employed by different commercial models and then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each model (B2B and B2C) for particular business situations.
From the Paper
"However, the advertising style on a B2B site is different to that of a B2C in that there is less need to attract spurious clients and the general public. There is a less ostentatious and more low-key approach to the method of advertising. "The web sites usually are rather plain, with no flashing graphics or animation. The presence of links to examples of other businesses is found most often in a B2B site. They are focused on attracting businesses to hire them for a job or to promote the great work they have done with another company." (How to Market Your B2B/B2C Web Site) On the other hand, the success of a B2C site depends on getting browsers to direct customers to the site, building customer relationship loyalty by creating an easy-to-use customer service application, offering personalization and making the site quick and easy to navigate. Another vital aspect is to ensure that customer orders are promptly carried out."
