¶ … respect to the report on 3M's e-Business model, the first things that need to be addressed are the grammar and spelling issues. Aside from those, there are other ways in which this report can be improved. The first is to clarify the definitions of B2B and B2C. The definition of B2B is taken by the author to mean marketing consumer products through intermediaries, such as distributors. This in fact is not the definition - a B2B model is where another business is the end user of the product. We see the same problem later in the paper, where the author claims 3M has an unfair competitive advantage, clearly misunderstanding the meaning of the term. A stronger understanding of the core concepts would serve this paper well.
The section on revenue models illustrates two main areas for improvement. One is that the author devotes far too much time to explaining the various revenue models, most of which are ultimately irrelevant to the discussion. The other is that the author is using the same references as before, shoehorning them into the paper without regard for appropriateness. Utilizing more sources would be preferred. Also, there are times when old sources are used for information about online marketing. A paper from 2000 is of questionable relevance given the phenomenal technological advancements in the e-Business sphere over the past nine years.
Overall, the paper lacks cohesion. Sources and concepts have been plucked at random and pasted together. Yet, the facts presented do not support each other. There is no central thesis towards which these random tidbits work. 3M is a huge company - the paper may have been improved by focusing on just one of 3M's businesses. As it is, the reader is left with little sense of what 3M's e-Business strategy is, how it works, or whether it has been successful.
The new definition, critics contend, is nonsensical as "it would be highly unusual for any employee, even a Vice President of Human Resources, to spend more than 50% of his or her weekly time doing hiring, firing and disciplining employees" and direction forms the bulk of most supervisor's job responsibilities (RESPECT, 2009, Foster Swift). Approximately 8 million current workers would be declassified from their current supervisory status (RESPECT, 2009,
Respect on the Lifespan of People of All Ages Respect in relation to lifespan Historically, the life span or longevity of the human being has been the focus of the studies of anthropologists. However, in more contemporary times the field of psychology has realized the inherent impact that psychological factors have upon the lifespan of the individual.

The company also purchases sugar cane from Central America. The same high-quality sugar that Coca-Cola procures at low cost to give its products their characteristic sweetness is known to be the product of child labour in El Salvador . Other examples of ethical violations include incidents in connection with the efforts of union leaders in Colombia fighting for the rights of labourers at Coca-Cola's main Latin American bottler. Reportedly, Coca-Cola

This is the view that gives basis to the Routine Activity Theory, in which the rational choice theory gives young criminal actors a way of justifying criminal behaviors. The rational choice theory works from the idea that for many juvenile offenders, illegal behaviors are not undertaken in idle but instead are the result of a carefully constructed weighing of the possible gains and consequences. The model in question "is
