Abstract
This paper discusses the evolution of the women's business suit. It begins by discussing the development of women's jackets from as far back as 1550. It looks at their function and practicality, as well as their fashion and stylishness. The paper particularly focuses on the role of the women's suit in business and the messages that it conveys.
From the Paper
"Today in her speech before an assembled audience of women leaders, even the editor of a women's fashion magazine, Glamour, wears a conservative suit, not one of the pastel confections of the 1950s. Everyone in the audience, all women wear suits. "To look professional and be taken seriously, you need to wear a jacket," is the testimony one style consultant (Givhan, 2006). Granted, women's business attire has become more "relaxed, more feminine and more flattering," since the 1970s, taking into consideration the different shapes of a women's form. Just as women no longer have to prove themselves to be the same as men to succeed in the boardroom, women no longer have to dress exactly like men to be taken seriously. But although dresses "might be ideal for a dinner or luncheon," they "are not favored by women looking to flash a little power" (Givhan, 2006). A suit jacket continues to exude power, and while it can be sexy and feminine, today no professional women's wardrobe is complete without a business suit."

"This can be accomplished through dedicated workers that strive to achieve organizational goals and that have the training and skills to ensure that the public policy is beneficial to all stakeholders in Charlotte. The Partnership for Public Service of the United States believes that this is possible when the right people are recruited, who believe that the issues associated with the community are essential to the well being of all people ("Welcome", n.d.). Yet, in order to attract the right people to accomplish this task the organization must be capable of providing a working environment that supports the desire to successfully serve the public."

Abstract
This paper relates that, although strides are being made, the number of women in higher-level positions is not increasing at as rapid a pace as compared to their male counterparts. The author points out that many women are leaving the corporate world to start their own businesses. The paper suggests that this trend may eventually help women in their efforts to rise to the top of the business world.
From the Paper
"Many, if not most, Americans growing up in the last three decades have played the game Monopoly. And, many, if not most, of those people can state precisely who designed the game: a man named Charles Darrow. Yet a woman named Lizzie McGee, who eventually had her rights purchased for a minimal amount, created an early form of Monopoly. Despite having her patent recognized when the first version of the game was registered, McGee's name is unrecognized by all but a few people familiar with the game (Sharpe, 2004, par.1)."

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
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
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
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."

Gender Differences in Business Management, 2008.
This paper looks at the differences between men and women as they relate to business management.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews journal literature dating from 2005 and later, noting that there is almost complete agreement that there are differences between men and women' management styles. The writer notes that the literature finds that women are regarded as bringing a more open and cooperative style to business leadership, which can enhance business operations. Thus the most successful businesses are those which integrate women and their skills into operations. The writer points out that professional literature on gender differences shows that disputes between men and women appear to be fading from the scene. While this is certainly not entirely the case, there is a comparative lack of serious, peer-reviewed articles dealing with gender conflicts in business. The writer maintains that this is partly a result of the many statutes that have been adopted in the United States and most western nations making discrimination illegal and giving civic remedies to those victimized by this discrimination.

Abstract
References
From the Paper
"A good deal of new research has been done in recent years concerning women and sales, because sales is perceived as an area in which people can advance rapidly. A good deal of the research in the sales setting has focused on gender based differences in approaches. Females, for example, tend to believe that other sales-people they encounter have a considerable degree of expertise, attributing to them a much higher degree of competence than their male colleagues do. Further, women overall place higher values on cooperative efforts and the fostering of harmonious relations. They also, as noted, tend to tend to use an integrated approach to information tasks. These traits, taken as a whole, allow women to perceive conflict between buyers and sellers as functional rather than dysfunctional. They tended to view these conflicts as exchanges of information, whereas men tended to view them as affective conflict, in which values were genuinely at stake."

The Influence of Women in Organizational Structures, 2006.
A discussion regarding women and business.

Abstract
This paper discusses how in the past, physical ability dictated the role that individuals played in society. Society, however, evolves. Women are now active members in the workplace, owning or participating as equal partners in nearly 50% of today's privately-owned businesses. The paper further discusses how attitudes have also changed, with mentoring being part of today's business world. As society continues to evolve, women's participation in the business world will continue to grow, and to evolve as well.
From the Paper
"Gender equality has long been an issue, from ancient societies until the present. In general, men have maintained control over the development of societal rules, in part, perhaps, because superior physical power gave them control over the environment in which these societies grew. Particularly in ancient and developing societies, women played a supportive role by caring for children, caring for the home, and tending domesticated plants and animals when men were out hunting or establishing more territory. Society, however, evolves. While in the past, physical strength controlled the access that individuals had to resources, strength is no longer the determining factor. Modern society allows women to take leadership roles in many areas, including such roles in the community, in industry, and in business. "

Diversity For Women in the Workplace, Government and Military, 2002.
A look at the obstacles affecting the careers of women in business, government and the military in decision-making roles.

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the historical involvement of women in business, government, and the military in decision-making roles. It looks at each of these sections to demonstrate how stereotypes and continued gender-based expectations are getting in the way of women's careers in these areas. Though diversity in all of these roles has certainly increased over time, it still remains that women are expected to "act like women", which in essence cripples their ability to achieve an equality of success along side their male counterparts.

Abstract
The paper discusses how in the mid to late 1990s, the role of women in society seemed to be changing. It was no longer unheard of for women to work outside the home. Rather it was more or less expected for women to strive to be as good as men in the workplace, if not better than them. The paper describes how today there are successful women as corporate executives, owners, business presidents, lawyers, judges and doctors; women proliferating in professional areas in which they were the exception even a short time ago.
From the Paper
"But are women as equal as they could or should be? And what is the future of women in business or society? Suzanne Falter-Barns discusses women in the workplace in 1997. At that time, she states that up to three-quarters of married women with "dependent children" worked outside the home. Just over a third of those women worked in permanent full-time positions (Falter-Barns 28)."
