Abstract
This paper describes a virtual website, similar to KaZaA in the file-swapping aspect, but instead of music, provides first-rate Hollywood-caliber movies, from which members have the opportunity to download specialized encryption software to their system. The author points out that website security for the Internet and internal networked environments has three basic objectives: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The paper states that the website will require various software tools, such as encryption and database software, firewalls, routers and other hardware, but the keys to security are reputable vendors, who are reliable with support and well-trained, and knowledgeable network administrators and personnel.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Whatever the case, our website security aspirations will be very difficult to achieve. In the modern world, a high school kid with a failing average could easily gain unauthorized access to an insecure network or website environment. The real problem is that many people know exactly what they are doing because today's adolescents have grown up with technology and they understand it. Couple this with the fact that whole nations and industries have become computer crime intruders such as what has occurred in China. Network security engineers have to be on the lookout for many attacks."

From the Paper
"E-businesses, by necessity, rely almost solely on the effectiveness, accuracy, and security of their websites. Failure to adhere to sound marketing and technology principles in building a website can lead to disaster for a company that relies on its website to bring in revenues. The three principles of website marketing: commerce, community, and content, are even more important when considered in relation to the banking and financial services industries, which are increasingly shifting their business models to an online format.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To understand the relationship that can develop between the Internet and banks, one has to first understand the nature of both these items. The first to be understood is the banks. So far as banks are concerned, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, central banking which is the source of all banking activity would appear to be at a crossroads in their future. Earlier it was the lender of last resort, active participant in stabilizing economic fluctuations, and now the present main function is being the guardian of price stability. As it is still the monetary authority, much is expected from them. At one stage, fiscal policy was considered to be the main instrument of economic policy, the situation changed to an ascendancy of monetary policy and that was noted by the late 1980s in most parts of the industrialized world. This had a lot of implications for the role of the central bank."

Europe's Emerging Banks and the U.S. Banking History, 2002.

Abstract
This paper presents four potential dangers to banks in emerging markets and relates them to the lessons of the founding banking system of the United States: Macroeconomic volatility, connected lending, political involvement and financial liberalization. This paper discusses that the emerging banking industries in Eastern Europe must learn to operate in an objective environment free from burdensome and often disastrous government control; just as, the ever-present tension in the United States between government policy and banking policy ensured the banking industry's objectivity. This paper argues that the primary cause of the banking crisis in Eastern Europe was the banks' decision to allow financiers with little experience and even less capital to set up their own banks.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The insistence by the American chief executive in the mid 18th to mid 19th century to keep separate government policy from banking policy has not been demonstrated in the communist economies of Eastern Europe. The second major crisis factor for these economies has been connected (or insider) lending, particularly in Russia. Though not unheard of in rich countries, connected lending is a more serious problem in emerging countries, where supervisors are less rigorous about rooting it out. The Economist maintains that connected lending has recently caused serious problems where unscrupulous businessmen have found it easy to set up banks simply to finance their other companies' pet projects. Thus, at many Russian banks, the personal ambitions of owners and managers still come before the prudent assessment of lending risks. Loans to related companies are rarely made on an arm's length basis and tend to be granted at below-market rates, with scant credit vetting."

Abstract
This paper examines three on-line banking websites--Washington Mutual, Chase and Wells Fargo--by using several criteria such as overloading, consistency of image, grammar and spelling, speed of loading, functioning links, ease of use and overall impression: The Wells Fargo website was judged to be the best. The author stresses that banks must consider the requirements for protection of rights and interests of depositors, establishment of stability and confidence in financial markets and requirements for economic development in both their brick-and mortar and online operations. The paper relates that e-Business has changed the way in which banks must operate in the areas of customer relations (CRM), the banking supply chain, customer-based marketing that provides many customers services and immediately becoming an international entity through their presence on the internet.

"To compete successfully in the highly competitive marketplace, banking Web sites must strive every day to deliver consistent levels of performance and experience as perceived by users. Site performance must be formatted to accommodate speed reliability factors, and display what type of company they portray themselves to be. There are ten areas that Web sites are measured against: Response time (over high speed, DSL, and dial up connections), response consistency, geographic uniformity, load handling, page design, network connectivity, site reliability, and outage hours."

Is it probable that Islamic banking and interest-based banking can co-exist within the economic structure of the United States? 2. Is the potential market for Islamic banking in the United States sufficiently large to make Islamic banking feasible in American society? 3. What laws, state and federal, require change to permit Islamic banking to operate in the United States?

"Islamic economics has two principal components. The first component is a constant set of principles derived from the Qu'aran, which are the economic principles governing all Islamic activity, and which are unchanging. The second component is a flexible set of principles also derived from the Qu'aran, but which may be adapted to environment, time, or place, while remaining within the boundaries of the unchanging principles (El Araby, 1997). In Islam, any enterprise ? economic or otherwise ? may be an act of devotion, if entered into with the correct intentions. The welfare of the whole of the human race according to the will of God is the ultimate goal of all Islamic economic activity. The social responsibilities of business organizations are part of the moral obligations of the individuals operating such organizations in an Islamic society (El Araby, 1997). All economic systems are concerned with the relationship between the public and private sectors. In capitalist systems, the emphasis is on the private sector, although the degree of such emphasis varies between countries. One result of this capitalist emphasis is the cyclical recurrence of significant problems ? inflation, unemployment, and recession, while a second result is an increasing concentration of productive capacity ownership into a relatively few private hands. Islamic economics assumes that no conflict exists or will develop between the public and private sectors, and that each sector works for the greater good of society. The applications of the principles of any system ? capitalist or Islamic ? are usually less than perfect. Therefore, conflicts do occur within Islamic economic systems; however, in Islam, the settlement of such conflicts is according to the criterion of the greater societal good, as opposed to settlement on an ideological basis of property ownership, political imperative or agenda, or similar factors that is often true in capitalist economies."

Islamic Banking - Religion as an Excuse, 2006.
This paper explains the differences between Islamic banking and conventional banking. It argues politically, as opposed to economically, that both systems are the same.

Abstract
The writer explains that the emergence of Islamic banking is an example of how religion has become subservient to economic needs, and more specifically, how Islam has become subservient to capitalism. The paper explains that although advocates claim that Islamic banking is distinctive from interest rate banking, such methods are merely window dressing - a way for the banks to legitimize themselves. The writer explains that in Shariah, Islamic law, people are prohibited from charging and receiving interest. The paper draws parallels between conventional banking systems and the new modes of so-called interest-free banking. The paper states that Islamic banks have been mimicking conventional banks, pushing for short-term, low-risk investments that are similar in quantity and risk to those obtained by other conventional banks. The writer explains that the methods used to evade interest prohibition include mislabeling interest under the false pretense of administrative costs and delegating puppet banks to alleviate responsibility from Islamic institutions. The writer challenges the advocates of this system who claim that it is Shariah-compliant. In summation, the writer states that it is evident that in the current Islamic system, Islamic beliefs have taken a second place to the capitalist system.

From the Paper
"During the 80s, Muslim countries such as Sudan, Iran and Pakistan underwent the growth of Islamic banking due to an oil boom and the need for Muslim communities to establish a unique economic presence in the new international economic order (Pipes, 1982:45; cf. ICO: 1982). By 1995, 144 public and private banking institutions had been established claiming to practice a??Islamic bankinga?? (Shaik, 1997:118). However, this paper will argue that Islamic banking is conventional banking in disguise. Islamists have merely used the former to bypass religious restrictions to meet their capitalistic needs in a manner that is compliant, and sometimes even not compliant, to interpretations of the Shariah. Such assertions can be supported by examining characteristics of the current Islamic banking system. Nazih N. Ayubi has written about religion being subservient to the state. In this particular case, the evolution of Islamic banking has become an example of Islam being subservient to capitalism."

"The best way to determine what the future might hold is to understand the past and the present, and add to that the changes seen by experts on the horizon. Therefore, constructing the history of Pakistani banking forms a major part of the current research; outlining contemporaneous changes and decisions regarding Pakistani banking made by its most senior officials is also important to understanding the influences on bank manager career tracks and attitudes. In addition, an extensive literature review of those factors that generally contribute t manager career orientation in any business will help understand the Pakistani bank managers' positions. Interviews with at least a few current Pakistani bank managers will display the attitudes they currently hold, and provide insight into what they expect in the future and what would make them more or less career-oriented."

" INTERNET BANKING: A TECHNOLOGY IN SEARCH OF ACCEPTANCE
Introduction and Thesis Argument
On January 21, 1997, the Royal Bank Scotland announced that it had completed the technological fine-tuning and was now Britain's first fully-fledged Internet Bank (1). The announcement generated the suspected editorial comments that suggested that retail banking is dead, and that a brave new world of cyber transactions are the wave of the future. Is Internet Banking the trend to watch out for?
That's the leading question behind the banking industry's

"Stated to be a good measure of devolvement was an increase in proactivity in personnel function in the past five years and in both the Indian and British interviews relating to involvement another measure was revealed stating to be "continuous feedback from line managers." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) It is held that this is "an important measure of devolvement as it helps to evaluate whether things are working according to plans or not, and what changes will be required in the future." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) An expectations that such type examinations might reveal "the extent to which managerial cognition of strategic HRM actually relate to practice. Similarly, the influence of possible new dimensions of national culture, as suggested by both Indian and British managers' viewpoint should be examined. The thinking of personnel specialists and different levels of employees from other sectors, regarding their function, should also be examined." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002)"

Abstract
This paper explains that viewing the Internet as only a marketing tool is a vast mistake because the Internet has vast applications to making the way of doing business not only easier and less costly, but also completely different than traditional banking. The author points out that Chinese banks, like the China Merchant Bank, will be able to strengthen relationships with existing customers by allowing them to access via its Website previously inaccessible decision-support information, such as detailed account reports, product specifications and interest rate comparisons at their own convenience. The paper, using many strategy analysis tools, concludes that e-banking is a viable solution to the problem of escalating costs of human tellers dealing with smaller depositors; therefore, Chinese banks, who are focused on ROI (return-on-investment) in order to prioritize and evaluate its goals, should develop an e-strategy.

From the Paper
"Contrary to popular retail belief, customers are not looking for the lowest price. Thompson writes, "the savvy business can only be differentiated by price." Businesses need to take into an account not only the traditional way to compete with a commodity is to lower cost of manufacturing and then lower the price to drive additional sales to make it up on volume. A company should consider other factors like the value of their service or product but also to consider the value of add-ons to product. Such incentives can rationalize asking a higher price and the customer will be happy with additional quality found in the added value. Customers need to see the value, once they know it is there then the price is not an object."

Objective
Introduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Representative of one of the most influential activities within countries of fully developed financial processes in the institutional service provision sector, the banking industry has links into all areas and regions of the world. The one sure thing in banking is that no process is so perfect that it cannot be improved upon. As history certainly validates in relation to processes in banking it is certain that change will be experienced by the institutions in the financial and banking sector. The innovation in the banking sector in British banking or the development experienced technologically which transferred to changes in the processes of banking began with electronic communication of the telegraph in the late 1850's. These innovations have progressively and persistently continued to the present day of what is termed by many to be that of "cyber-banking". After the initial birth of banking in modern terms came the "Database Management Systems" or DBMS which represents a key moment in banking history and which led next to automation of the "Clearing System" or CS hereafter in this work, characterized by automated statements. Next after the CS followed the local networks which served to "increase consumer's awareness in relation to their preferences and machine transactions as well as "increasing the search for profitability around the idea that the provision of services could become immediate and more integrated with a network of providers."

"Mark Leary is looking at his watch. It is 10:30 p.m. and he has a list of chores to complete by tonight. He is leaving on a 3-day business trip in the morning and will not have the time to take care of some financial details. He has put off balancing his checkbook for over 2 months and needs to find out how much money he has in the checking account. Mark also wants to do a stock analysis of his current portfolio and ask his broker some questions about a new stock he read about earlier in the week. He has to send his son in college some money since he always seems to run out. Mark also promised his wife that he would order some new checks and get her a debit card since she does not like the inconvenience of having just an ATM card. Finally, yet importantly, he would like to check out information on Keogh's for his wife's business. How is he going to actually accomplish any of these tasks at this hour of the night? The answer is in the next revolution to hit the banking industry. Mark will log onto his banks website via his Internet service provider (ISP) and work away. The bank site allows him to download his statements directly onto his home budgeting software like Microsoft's Money or Intuit's Quicken and reconcile quickly and efficiently. In a matter of minutes, he knows his exact balance, what is outstanding and what items have come through. He will use the link that connects with the banks investment advisor who handles his portfolio and email questions about the stock he read about, he will ask another department about a Keogh for his wife's new business. He will transfer money through electronic funds transfer (EFT) from his account to his sons account across the country and it will be there by morning. He will order the checks his wife wants on the check selection link and order a debit card with a single click of a button since his information is already stored in the bank database."

Abstract
This paper explains that, using content analysis to test the hypothesis surrounding aviation security, two press releases from the Government Accountability Office website were examined for common terms and references to aviation security measures. The author points out that this methodology focused on how the communications referred to aviation security and how frequently mention was made of changes in specific responses to the September 11 attacks. The author relates that this analysis identified that aviation security was breached due to inherent flaws in the system. The paper states that content analysis revealed that the current decentralized system with different parties responsible for various elements of aviation security is not optimal. The author stresses that terrorism is seen as unethical and politically illegitimate because its political aim is to kill the innocent. The paper includes a table and a graph.
