Internet and Global Finance Strategies

ithin the present competitive business environment, firms are continuously looking for various strategies to be ahead of their competitors and achieve competitive market advantages. Many firms have identified that internet technology is a powerful tool to enhance competitive market advantages. The traditional organizations have identified that internet is a powerful tool to deliver value to customer and presently, the internet technology has enabled firms to coordinate and interact their value chain activities to customer with the objective of improving financial performances. These changes generally refer to as NBT (Net-based business transformation). The net-based business transformation is the substitution of traditional business operations from paper, fax and telephone-based communication into electronic business transactions with the objective to enhance tighter coordination with customer and suppliers, increase inventory turnover, enhance customer satisfaction, and improve time-to-market. Despite the potential benefits of internet to the improvement of firms' financial performances,…

At the bottom line, the issue at hand is with the sanctity and safety of the students and the responsibility of the university to preserve and develop that.

Moreover, many of these students are dallying into multi-dimensional virtual worlds that are beginning to closely resemble the physical world and that are having their own ethical issues arise (Wankel & Malleck, 2010). Universities need to educate themselves as to what those issues are exactly.

In hindsight, it's absolutely possible that Bob could have designed his research in a more sensitive manner that would have been more appealing to the bulk of the universities that he approached. For example, if Bob hadn't submitted open-ended questions but multiple choice or true or false questions, the survey that he submitted might have been more appealing to…

Internet security

In today's advanced technological world, online users are faced with a myriad of problems and risks. Any online user is vulnerable to Trojans, viruses, worms, spyware, and malware. The user is exposed to sniffers, spoofing software, and phishing. There are many tools that are employed online that breach a user's privacy without their knowledge Dinev & Hart, 2005.

Web tracking software is used by malicious companies to access a person's online behavior and information, which the company will sell to other marketing companies. Corporations and government institutions are constantly been hacked for their information. Banks have lost millions as the hackers access customer accounts and withdraw funds illegally Dinev & Hart, 2005.

Internet Makes Children Smarter

Integration of computer and internet into the day-to-day lives of children are quite visible nowadays. (Lee, 509) For several children, the use of internet has now become integrated with connecting over phone and watching television in the 'repertoire of typical behavior.' (Packard, 20) Children presently are techno literate and sometime extend over the efficiency of their teachers and parents; children and their parents have great anticipations with regard to the accessibility of technology in school; the transformation of learning into fun and entertaining has been their need; they also demand immediacy, customized and flexible approach. (Wright, 42) As domestic accessibility to internet has now become common, this paper identifies and assesses the influence of internet on children. The characteristics of internet use by children produce public concern that both regulate and undermine research, confusing the already challenging study of children. (Livingstone, 148)

Internet Fraud

Every day, fraudsters and hackers find new ways of making a quick buck via the internet. In that regard, the need to familiarize oneself with the principles and measures necessary to avoid falling victim to internet fraud cannot be overstated. This text largely concerns itself with internet fraud and the measures individuals should take to protect both themselves and their businesses from the same.

Internet Fraud: An Overview

Fraud according to Newman (2009) is "a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain." Thus in basic terms, internet fraud is any fraud executed via the internet. With the growing popularity of ecommerce in which case businesses and individuals actively engage in online trade, online fraud will most likely become even more lucrative. It thus makes great sense for individuals to equip themselves with the necessary skills so as to protect both themselves and their businesses…

In sum, arguments against the use of social media on the Internet for new and different useful information fail to recognize at least 9 ways in which social media on the Internet greatly assist businesses in obtaining new and useful different information.

3. Conclusion

Social media on the Internet provides businesses with new and different useful information. There are at least 9 ways in which this is accomplished, because Internet social media: allows communication across forums; allows a business to develop, share and improve ideas quickly; allows constant updating from any network terminal in the world; allows valuable tracking; assists in targeted marketing; allows effective gathering of information from social media groups; allows a business to quickly learn of and counter negative information; offers services that can monitor web conversations for qualitative and quantitative analysis; provides the largest information retrieval system in the world; and allows businesses to learn about…

Internet Security Measures- An Assessment

The world of the Internet is truly an amazing and wonderful place where any information on any topic is available, right at your fingertips, with the mere click of a button. The Internet is very much like a huge city where high rises filled with honest people and slums filled with the lower classes coexist side by side; where there are both good people as well as the bad and dishonest criminals living in one place. Criminals in the real world may be relatively easier to find than those in the cyber world who are virtually impossible to find. This may be due to the practical difficulties in finding the criminals and tracking them down through virtual space and taking action on them. The battle between Internet thieves and Internet administrators has been actually going on for many years; the Internet, in fact, has been…

The slashing of prices of Home PCs and explosive growth of internet has increased the number of net users over the years. The keenness to exploit the advanced features of internet to utilize in the field of education, entertainment, communication, business, scientific research increased to a great extent. The wiping out of the geographical barriers is the greatest advantage that is provided by the internet which impels the net users to innovate newer methods day by day to supplement the tools used in the daily routine work in these fields. The e-mail, chat rooms, message boards and websites created a new virtual society among the net users. The business decisions, information searching, personal interactions etc. become very quick and made easier through use of these tools.

Crimes are inherent to every society and the virtual society created by internet is also not an exception to it. The same…

Some theorists argue that, "...the use of e-mail enables people who are peripheral in groups to become more visible. This means that people of lower status can easily communicate with those of higher status" (Module 3: Online Personal elationships).

Another category that benefits from the Internet in terms of personal relationships is those who prefer not to interact with others conventionally due to fear or a perception that going out into society is dangerous. In an article entitled Social anxiety, Internet use and personal relationships on the Internet (2004), Nishimura states that, "People who had a high level of trait social anxiety, especially those under twenty years of age, were highly motivated to use the Internet for the formation of personal relationships" (Nishimura, 2004, p.124).

Whereas the radio did not reach mass media status for 38 years, and television required 13 years, the Internet soared from obscurity to 50 million users in just four years. By 1998 there were an estimated 143 million Internet users, with numbers expected to exceed 700 million by this year. Some 88% of all users in 1998 lived in industrial countries, home to less than 15% of the world's people. The U.S. has more computers than the rest of the world combined, and over 100 million Internet users."

But developing countries are not exactly conveniently blind to the advantages of the Internet. Some less-developed nations are trying hard to keep pace with technological advancement and have been seeking ways to provide greater Internet access to their people. India is one such country that may not be able to compete with U.S. And Europe both economically and technologically but is making…

Trust alleviates the apprehensions of insecurity that crop up when the retailer is not known, or the way the company will deliver the goods or services purchased. Building trust in e-commerce necessitates a clear indication of rigorous standards of security, data safeguard, transparency of data use, etc. (The effect of IT-based security on feedback mechanisms and trust building in online auction settings)

Morgan and Hunt during 1994 indicate that trust can be generated when firms produce superior resources, uphold high standards of corporate values, communicate information about expectations, market intelligence and evaluations, and eliminate malevolently exploiting their trading partner. Research dealing with trust from the conventional marketing perspective concentrates on an experience-based consequence. But in the online environment, trust is necessary prior to the online shopping experience can occur. One field of major problem for consumers in the development of trust is privacy. As indicated by Luo during 2002 in…

While name and brand acknowledgement of already reputed conventional retailers can confidently entail a baseline for consumers when they go online, this also is applicable to some uncertainty in the consumers' mind when dealing with unknown merchants. Recently, online companies have not succeeded in delivering on promises, specifically during the 2000 and 2001 holiday seasons. Unsuccessful assurances supplemented the suspicion of the consumers to purchase online. As per Hemphill during 2002, electronic commerce will not attain its full prospective in the U.S. economy unless consumers feel confident that their privacy and confidentiality have been safeguarded. It is now evident that for all retailers to generate a secure and reliable shopping experience for online consumers.

Yoon during 2002 reveal that to secure trust for a web site, managing the overall image of the web-site was more significant than emphasizing the functionality of the site. He also detected that web sites that prevail online are more emergently in need of trust acknowledgement than those appearing both online as well as offline. These consequences further give rise to the necessity for improving the communication with consumers to assist their trust of the web site. Since consumers sometimes draw upon signs from their environment, companies must generate trust signs as well as create a favorable circumstance in which the deals can take place. On the basis of the assessment of literature, several trust signs were detected. The privacy, security, and return policies; shipping strategies; warranty follow up; email contact; physical address or location; phone or fax numbers; alternative ordering choices; BBB TRUSTe, Verisign or credit card logos are included as the cues. (Investigating the use of trust cues by top web retailers)

As per a survey made by Ponemon Institute and Interactive ad firm Dotomi, an opt-in online marketing campaigns can be considered to be one of the more efficient mode to create trust among the Internet users and attain personal information for them. Practically, they determined to analyze the importance of online permission for Internet marketing. The Online Permissions Survey supported by Dotomy was relied on the reactions from a statistically representative group of 1,799 Internet-accessing adults in all important sections of the U.S. The Researchers depute respondents two sample environment, both presenting the option whether or not to permit an online merchant to distribute information regarding them with third party marketers. The first approach is associated with a merchant the consumer was not familiar with but interested in purchasing from. The second was pertaining to an online merchant which the consumer was not familiar with, but was interested in buying from. In both the cases the study revealed that the one that

What are the ways in which government sometimes tries to regulate or censor internet content? What are the problems with these efforts at regulation?

In recent times, cyberspace regulation has surfaced as a hot topic. The parameters and laws of cyberspace are principally defined by state-controlled Internet filtering. The governments and states exercise control over the Internet content at various levels. This power of governments over the Internet has dispelled the outlook of Internet as democratic architecture, out of the governmental influences. There is no single state in the world right now that permits its citizens an absolutely unhampered accessibility to information (Tariq).

The Internet censorship by the governments can be described as "the control or suppression of the publishing or accessing of information on the Internet" (Alsayegh, Lee & Thompson). The censorship of internet content by the governments has taken several forms and ranges. Firstly, some…

Internet Security

With the increasing awareness and use of the internet, organizations and individuals are facing newer security issues each day. Everyday people purchase goods on the internet and any hacking as a "joke" could cause the customer's credit card information to fall in the wrong hands. Misuse of such had been on a rise recently all over the world. Governments have now started to enforce strict internet laws to minimize such occurrences. It is unfortunate that internet being such a powerful tool which is used by millions to benefit them is being misused by some. "The Computer Security Institute released a study earlier this year in which 85% of respondents said they experienced a computer breach, with 64% serious enough to cause financial losses"( Tim Lemke, p.7). Many companies have started to produce high tech anti-virus and adware or spyware detectors. Such companies have made available their products online…

Internet Governance by U.S. Government

An amateurish video, "Innocence of Muslims," posted on YouTube in September 2012 was the catalyst for a string of anti-American protests and riots throughout the Islamic world. The short trailer, promoting an anti-Muslim film, was attributed to a motley crew of right-wing Christians in America (Sengupta, 2012). Angry mobs in Egypt were the first to react to the video on September 11 when they breached the walls protecting the American Embassy (Sengupta, 2012). That same night, the American Consulate in Benghazi was stormed by heavily armed Islamic militants (Sengupta, 2012). The militants set fire to the Consulate, killing J. Christopher Stevens, the American ambassador and three staff members, including two ex-Navy Seals (Sengupta, 2012). The incendiary video may have acted as a cover for the protest in Libya -- the State Department and the Libyan government did not point to a protest (Sengupta, 2012). But…

Will the Internet serve as an avenue for individual empowerment or will it increase corporate, governmental, and bureaucratic control over information?

Internet is meant to be used by everyone because every individual is an equal recipient to the advantages the modern technology offers and also of the products and processes which surface from its utilization. The use and advantages that the Internet provides must not in any way be limited to the corporate, government and bureaucratic factions of the society but should be allowed to stream to all fragments of the population without restraint.. The contemporary world and the present practices, too, indicate that the Internet will serve as a way to empower the individuals instead of restricting and increasing the information control by corporate sectors, government officials and bureaucrats.

The extent of areas and the opportunities that Internet provides are effective enough to put a greater…

Summary: "Computer Crimes" is an article which demonstrates the foundational changes that have occurred rapidly within information technology, it demonstrates the need to consciously evaluate the potential for crime within the internet, and discusses the potential for such crime to quickly reach the entertainment industry. The article stresses the need for supervisory tactics that emphasize the protection of individuals as well as businesses from devaluation through malicious intent, stressing tracking and prediction of computer crime with knowledge of the internet.

Evaluation: The content of this article makes clear the new law enforcement emphasis on internet crime, stressing the cons of the industry and how individuals and groups might take advantage of the system to break down traditional systems of compensation within the entertainment industry, as well as other industries. The proactive aspect has proven difficult as the speed of technology growth is a substantial obstacle.

INTENET ETHICS refers to responsible and fair use of a technology whose very nature makes its vulnerable to unethical activities. When a person is granted a right, it is important that he doesn't abuse it or his right may turn into a nuisance for others. Free, unrestricted use of the Internet is also one such right which when abused raises many ethical issues, which need to be addressed to ensure proper, use of this technology in future. Internet Ethics is a vast topic, which covers every unethical activity that is connected with the Net, ranging from email spamming, private information disclosure to copyright infringement, plagiarism and misleading health information. It is believed that a code of conduct should exist for Internet users, so that they won't cross ethical lines. While this appears to be a far-fetched idea, it is certainly important to target the areas, most plagued by unethical problems…

How Internet Addiction Impacts Teens Health
Introduction
The hypothesis of this study is that the Internet influence on adolescence can be negative in terms of mental, social and emotional health if Internet engagement is not moderated.
This research is important because more and more studies are showing that teenagers are getting addicted to technology, to mobile devices, to social media, and that they have not developed important communication skills needed for the real world. Thus, they are unable to develop real world relationships and support networks, and instead rely on Internet-based relationships, which are superficial and not sufficient for real sociality.
Adolescents are the primary population affected by Internet and social media addictions—but these addictions can last into adulthood.

As Carr explains in “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” media shapes the process by which people think. When one is reading a book, one has to think to stay engaged. If the mind wanders, no reading gets done. However, with media like TV or movies, the viewer is passive and can sit and the movie or film will just keep going. The viewer can pop in and out and still get a lot of information from it. With the Internet, there is a constant feed of information and zillions of options that keep one clicking and clicking on to the next page, the next video, the next link. The effect of this addiction to the Internet, however, is that it makes it more difficult for the mind to focus on more mundane work—like reading a book. A book contains no hyperlinks, no amusing advertisements, and…

Internet Service Provider (ISP) Web Content Law and Ethics

The objective of this work is to answer whether Internet service providers have a responsibility to regulate the content that is available on the World Wide Web? This work will additionally answer as to whether the presence and ease of availability of pornography to the general public a tribute to free speech and a reflection of social maturity or an example of the potential damage that unregulated markets and the hegemony of technology have reaped upon society?

The Internet is such that allows consumers, businesses, and industry, alike to "do many new things in unique and efficient ways." (Tekxam, nd) There are however, reported to be areas of both legal and ethical concern with regards to the responsibilities of Internet Service providers. Some of those areas include protection of intellectual property, fraud prevention, protection of freedom of expression, protection of privacy,…

hereas adult obesity rates have always been present, they have never been so high. hat is more worrisome is that youth is becoming increasingly obese. The American Heart & Stroke Association conducted a study, for instance, in which it found the following data to be true:

"Among children ages 2 -- 19, about 1 in 3 are overweight and obese (BMI-for-age at or above the 85th percentile of the 2000 CDC growth charts.):

- 32.1% of all boys, and - 31.3% of all girls, and Among children ages 2 -- 19, about 1 in 6 are obese (BMI-for-age at or above e 95th percentile of the CDC growth charts.):

Internet Advertising

Advertising forms a critical part for the operation of any business. The business owners rely on advertising in order to get in touch with their customers. This brings the need for an efficient way of reaching the potential customers with information about the products. Consequently, many of the business owners have turned to the internet as media for advertising with the main aim of reaching their potential customers faster than before. The adoption of online advertising (internet use) has triggered a hot debate on whether the internet has changed the image of advertising in the market. Some people argue that the internet has benefited advertising while others have their own views about the internet limiting advertisement. Some of the services offered by the internet include e-mail advertising, display advertising, affiliate advertising, behavioral marketing and semantic advertising. This article supports the view that the internet has benefited users in…

In this sense, internet privacy represents a challenge indeed.

Internet privacy is a relatively new term and the definitions are therefore rather scarce or general. For instance, it can be defined as "the ability of individuals to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated to others." (Givens, 1999) in this sense, privacy is a matter of personal choice and is therefore subject to prior agreement from the individual. However, considering the fact that the internet is a global network in which high technology plays the most important role and without which none of the benefits of communication would be possible, it is rather hard to control the degree to which one's privacy is violated.

One of the most important players in the debate over internet privacy is the federal government. The terrorist threat represented a powerful alarm signal for the defense system, with…

The market was not ready for wireless even five years ago, but that has definitely changed. When Levi's launched its latest 501s marketing campaign earlier this year, a wireless site was a central part of its digital strategy. Now there are nearly 30,000 public wireless "hot spots" in the United States. Advertisers believe that now that wireless has finally become a medium with which consumers are comfortable, the next stage is its exploitation by brands. Many feel that the wireless sites will increasingly become a part of marketing campaigns.

The semi-technical arena is seeing the rise of numerous new search engines, especially since ones such as Google have become so successful. Increasing numbers of Web surfers are going to alternative search engines that specialize in finding certain kinds of information or offering additional capabilities to well-known search sites (Kharif). AOL launched a test version of its new travel search site,…

Some programs are even able to track keystrokes and take snapshots of computer screens, allowing criminals even more information, such as credit card numbers and usernames (Bahl, 219).

While the obtaining of information through fraud is a problem related to Internet activity, there are other concerns with privacy that are still considered legal. For example, a company can obtain your personal information from transactions, and legally sell that information to the highest bidder (Sinrod, 17). While information traded between companies can increase competition, when the information is purchased by unscrupulous buyers, such transactions can threaten the security, privacy, and identity of consumers.

In addition, while restrictions exist on the government's collection of private and personal information from the Internet, loopholes exist that allow the government to obtain information without the knowledge of consumers. An example is the FBI's "Carnivore" system, developed to conduct surveillance of electronic communications by intercepting and…

Proper defenses, enhanced offensive capabilities and strategies to reduce risk by taking some sensitive data offline will all work to deliver better results in e-spionage of the United States. The Internet has become globalized, and nothing can take that back. That there are threats as the result of globalization is nothing new -- it is simply another arena for age-old international political traditions. How we manage the threats and take advantage of the opportunities is the most important aspect to this problem -- and this means proper isolating and neutralizing of viral threats. By addressing the issue of e-spionage effectively, the Internet can still be viewed as a net benefit for the United States.

Internet Marketing Strategy of Argos

The purpose of this essay is to examine the Internet marketing strategy of Argos. Argos is a home retail group and market leader in retail sales of home and general merchandise. Argos reports that it is a "unique multi-channel retailer recognized for choice, value, and convenience." (Argos Website, 2011)

Argos and the Online Market: Size and Growth

Argos customer base is approximately 130 million and reports state that 26% of Argos sales are via the internet channel with approximately 4 million customers placing orders by phone or online. The Argos website is touted as the website visited the most among high street retail websites in the United Kingdom in 2008. (Argos, Website, paraphrased) Argos is environmental conscious and caters to customers with disabilities. Argos was named the 'Online Toy Retailer of the Year 2009' by the ritish Toys & Hobbies Association (THA). (Argos Website, 2011)…

Internet Privacy

The greatest challenge to the legal foundations of the Internet is the continual assault on individual privacy, brought about by continually loosening standards as to how personal data is used, stored and tracked online. Foremost among these threats is the relentless use of personal data from websites, social networks and other online forums where people are coaxed into giving up as much data as possible to support advertising strategy-based business models (Christiansen, 2011). This is the greatest possible threat to individual liberties as it strikes at the core of a person's dignity online and their ability to trust websites they actively engage with and rely on for their work or social lives (Dhillon, Moores, 2001). Facebook is among the most egregious of violators, with a history of being hypocritical in their approach to personal information privacy while building a business model worth many billions of dollars (Chai, Bagchi-Sen,…

One of the best examples of a mash-up being made possible by the AJAX programming language is the work of Dr. Hans Rosling and his apMinder program at apminder.org (Phelps, Cseh, 2009). Dr. Rosling has taken the data set from the United Nations and added in analytics to determine the correlation of income to health. He is a regular speaker at TED (Technology, Entertainment & Design) Conferences and is considered one of the top 20 presenters of all time at this distinguished and prestigious global conference. His insights into the correlation of income and health have been widely used by governments globally and he is a frequent lecturer at the U.S. State Department. Dr. Rosling's insights are well worth listening to on the TED site and also working with his apminder.org application as well. If JAX had not been invented and the rapid gains in programming performance not achieved, it…

Given the fact that users have come to expect more and more data being available in their Web-based applications and the delivery of it to be personalized and fast, AJAX has also been expanded to support much greater levels of integration as well (Robertson, Saxton, Van Gucht, Vansummeren, 2009). This aspect of being able to integrate data from XML data streams for other Web applications' use, integrating to legacy systems in companies and also from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for pricing and product data for example, is establishing AJAX as a standard in corporations. As more corporations adopt AJAX as a standard there will continue to be more integration options defined and greater use of mash-ups in mainstream Web applications as a result. This is going to greatly enrich the user experience online as it will present data in entirely new contexts and with entirely new relationships.

Impact of Web-based Application Development on Society

Google fans globally don't realize it but they are reaping the benefits of AJAX application development advances daily (MacVittie, 2007). Google has customized their own version of AJAX, which is called Python. The Google version of AJAX is quickly revolutionizing how the world searches out and finds information online. In speaking previously about how quickly Internet users' expectations are increasing with regard to application performance, AJAX is a catalyst of these expectations growing continually. The one areas this is particularly true is in social networking applications including Facebook, Friendfeed, Twitter and many others discussed in Appendix B of this paper. AJAX is making it possible for these applications to deliver real-time updates and also stay secure and reliable enough to scale

No security breach has even been recorded on the Aer Lingus website so the website can be thought to be tightly secure and that all the necessary steps have been taken to ensure that the personal information of their customers is kept safe.

Methods for ensuring greater security for customers

One of the ways which the company can ensure that they continue maintaining this record of security and providing greater security for customers is to make sure the company has a security work team. This will be a team that is involved in checking the security of the company's website and other online products as their daily activity.

The second method is to ensure they keep up-to-date with changes in the technological world. Technology changes pretty fast therefore the company needs to keep up with these changes especially in the online security field. This will ensure…

They suggest that the laws necessary to protect informational privacy from unauthorized collection and use simply must catch up to the realities presented by modern digital technology exactly the way the laws now prohibiting unwarranted wiretapping of telephones once lagged behind the obvious implications of failing to incorporate the needs posed by modern technology into appropriate legislation (Levin, 2012).

Competing Interests and Positions

On balance, there are legitimate justifications for imposing limits on the unrestricted collection and commercial use of information generated by ordinary individuals engaging in communications patterns that are now fast becoming as ubiquitous as the telephone. It is reasonable to suggest that when people use their cell phones or communicate via their Internet service provider (ISP) account, they have a reasonable expectation of privacy in digital data pertaining to that use, such as the identity of every call or email recipient. On the other hand, businesses such…

Internet Communication

The face of literacy is changing. In 1955, being literate meant being able to read and write well enough to do such things as read a newspaper and write letters. In the year 2005, however, many more demands are made on reading and writing skills. In addition to being able to read such things as magazines and books and being able to write letters or other short written communication, the majority of people now communicate extensively using computers in the form of email, news groups, instant messaging, mailing list, weblogs, and web pages. These methods, all of which rely heavily on writing, have put more emphasis on written communication than ever before.

The Smart Library on Literacy and Technology notes that literacy instruction has already begun to reflect emphasis on the computer in both reading and writing. In fact, computer technology has changed not only how we write…

This double-edged sword of new technology is being increasingly being relied on for capturing knowledge in the organization, serving as a vital catalyst for higher levels of collaboration Condon, 55):

According to Jorge Lopez, industry research chief at Gartner, the focus of it has been to cut costs by automating tasks that can be broken down into discrete processes. But it has achieved all it can in that respect and any further improvements would be marginal. The next frontier for it is the non-routine work that lends itself less readily to automation - and here the talk is of 'augmentation': helping people come to decisions more quickly, and helping support any consequent action.

With knowledge workers, such as managers, who deal with non-routine kinds of work, the idea of productivity is different. As (management guru Peter) Drucker pointed out, you don't pay them by the hour but by results,' says…

(Horticulture and the advantages of using the Internet Technology)

What are the disadvantages of conducting business, large or small, on the Internet? They may be many. However, the most important disadvantages are: it can actually create a feeling of isolation; the businessman may feel that he has become isolated. This means that he may get the feeling that the World Wide Web is faceless and emotionless, and thus the business too is isolated and inhuman, devoid of contact with the real world and other human beings. After all, humans are social creatures, and such isolation would most often lead to the development of a feeling of depression. Another disadvantage is that since the World Wide Web is such a large area to work in; it encompasses in some cases the entire globe, and there is such a large amount of information generated on the web, it becomes very difficult to…

As is the case with so many other benign behaviors (and even behaviors that are generally useful and beneficial), the Internet became a source of compulsion and addictive behaviors for many of those who are already naturally inclined toward compulsivity and addiction (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2008). Those who use the Internet appropriately generally establish routines for checking e-mail and may also regularly use the Internet for social networking and interpersonal communications. However, they do not characteristically spend ever-increasing amounts of time online; they do not neglect other aspects of their lives to pursue online activities, and they can function without becoming dependent on their Internet habits.

Conversely, some Internet users exhibit these typical signs of compulsion and addiction that are generally associated with compulsion and addiction (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2008). They may spend so much time checking email, updating social networking pages, pursuing online interpersonal communications, and playing computer games…

This is because it is quite difficult to gain a customer but extremely easy to lose one, and when the marketer has made a customer, then he must ensure that he maintains a minimum of contact with him so that he may be able to pitch his sales again to an individual who is already a customer better than he would be able to a new customer. The third tip is that the marketer must avoid making exaggerated claims about his product or service even if it may actually be true. This is because the customer is always wary of false claims and would automatically tend to avoid such websites. Another tip is that if a discount and a bonus were to be combined within one particular offer, then it would be so very irresistible that the customer would have no option than to purchase it. A series of special…

Internet Privacy for High School Students

The unrestrained stream of information is conceived necessary for democracies and market-based economies. The capability of the Internet to make available the vast quantity of information to practically everyone, irrespective of their locations thus entails large benefits. The Internet provides access to the greatest libraries of the world to the students even in the smallest towns and permit the medical specialists to analyze the patients situated about thousands of miles away. The attribute of interactivity of the Internet fosters communication and personal and political expression. The Internet also assists to make the economies progress as it enhances the ease, speed and cost effectiveness with regard to the collection, compilation and delivery around the world to the multiple extent.

Internet and Society

The Internet and American Society

In the history of humankind there have been very few inventions which have completely transformed human society. Inventions like the wheel, agriculture, astronomy and geometry have all transformed humankind from uncivilized barbarians into a creatures of culture and society. The invention of science, discovery of electricity, the atom, and other inventions have then propelled the human race forward into a more technologically society, one which is primarily an information-based society. As a result of these technological advancements, scientists have been able to create something that has again transformed human society, one which has in a relatively short time, infiltrated every aspect of scholarship, research, business, and life in general. Beginning with the computer, and an idea that many computers could be joined together and their information shared; scientists and researchers have created an interconnected system of personal, business, academic, research, library, and…

Internet Way: a Unifying Theory and Methodology for Corporate Systems Development

The face of business has changed drastically since the advent of the Internet. Traditional brick and mortar businesses are finding themselves with new marketing avenues. The Internet has led to the invention of a new comer to the business world as well, the e-business. These businesses exist only on the Internet. They do not have a traditional brick and mortar structure. In these businesses, customers place orders by phone or online, Pay for it via credit card, bankcard, or e-check.

"What's more, many teachers lack technical support; unlike businesses, most schools don't have an it guy down the hall to save the day when computers go haywire." (Wohl, 2001) central contemporary concern is the problem of Internet security and access to quality information. Without the necessary security measures and administrative restrictions, access to the Internet can also mean access to harmful pornographic material. These administrative procedures once again require technical expertise and time on the part of the teacher.

Another aspect that is of concern in today's online environment is that while there is a plethora of information available, this is not always of the best quality. Many teachers and institutions have banned student access to open -source sites such as Wikipedia for this reason. It is very difficult if not impossible for the teacher to monitor and check the validity and quality of the sites and sources that their…

..social skills are built and educational choices are made that influence the entire adulthood" (90). Thus, the concern on the possible effects Internet addiction can have on the youth's development as an adult makes escalating Internet use and eventual addiction not just a concern, but must also be considered as a serious mental health problem that progresses through the user's formative years from adolescent to adult stages. It is in the context of Kaltiala-Heino's study that Internet addiction is seen as a progressively escalating health concern that can affect an adolescent's eventual development into an adult, negatively affecting his/her development or achievement of normative social and intellectual skills and capacities.

In terms of escalating Internet use and its relationship in the development of physical health problems among users, Griffiths' (2002) study generated the finding that physical health problems resulting from excessive Internet use is also influenced by mental health problems…

Internet and Marketing

The Internet has become a vibrant and increasingly integral part of individuals' lives over the past few years. It is hard to imagine any business today succeeding without at least some presence on the World Wide Web. Today, the United States boasts a $1.5 trillion market for direct marketers. Without question this is the largest and richest single market in the world and growing at an unprecedented 8.6% per year. With over 10,000 different catalogs alone being mailed in the U.S., there is a niche for every player and every project and service.

This paper examines some of the basic precepts of Internet marketing, suggesting the ways in which companies should treat Internet marketing as the same as any other type of marketing and the ways in which it must be treated on its own terms. Part II discusses the relationship between conventional marketing and Internet marketing.…

Internet Advertising as a Career Choice

Using the Internet, entrepreneurs can run sophisticated businesses from anywhere. That is why places like oulder, Colorado, now have some of the densest concentrations of technology-related businesses in the country, most of them small independent firms. The desire for and availability of more lifestyle choices will continue to drive economic decentralization. Splintering consumer tastes are also moving the industry away from its centralized past. Cable, satellite broadcasting, and the Internet all feed Americans' appetites for customization. This trend has helped create three new broadcast networks and more specialized media, while the market share of mass network programming has declined sharply. Larger media companies now depend on small-scale producers to meet the new consumer demands. (1)

According to the current laws, which are not really up to speed yet, an employer can monitor employee email if he or she has a legitimate business purpose for doing so. There is a belief that, because the employer has an email and computer system for employee use, the computer system (as well as the resulting email and browsing history) is the property of the employer. hile this makes sense, some states have enacted 'right to privacy' laws so that companies cannot make this claim against their employees and cannot monitor what they do on the Internet during company time. It then becomes difficult to balance the need to supervise and control employees with the need to make sure that those same employees' rights are not being violated by their employers. There is no clear legal rule as to what is acceptable and what is not in the field of…

Internet Marketing

Customers prefer Internet marketing because Internet provides the ability to easily custom tailor specifications, such as in the case of buying a computer online from Dell. In addition, Internet search engine offers consumers to find the best bargain price of a product and service. In some cases, electronic brokers facilitate shopping by presenting the offerings in order of some important characteristic, as in the case of travel services arrayed in order of price, or departure time, or airline carrier. Then there are some customers who prefer convenience. To these customers, the Internet provides the best opportunity to order the product from the home (Messmer, 1999).

Price is one of the most important elements for customers buying the simple products from the Internet. The Internet provides the most obvious basis for comparison. Consumers shopping on the Internet can easily access prices from a great many possible suppliers. In addition,…

Internet Ethics and the consumer's private existence in an unstable regulatory environment -- untapped economic waters in a wild, wild west of identity theft and chronic consumption

hen it comes to Internet ethics, even in the absence of legal requirements, businesses must themselves self-regulate when it comes to consumer privacy. If they do not, it is likely that the government will step in to do so, as the government has done in the European Union. This will only hurt businesses economically, and do damage to the equal ethical obligation corporations owe to shareholders. Furthermore, good business sense is about trust between the consumer and the business, and this is not honored when businesses unfairly spy upon casual surfers of their websites, or use consumer data for their own profit as well as research and marketing purposes.

By maximizing these relationships, Cyberware can forge new and stronger customer relationships.

The consequence of which is the increased decline in the cycle time for the inventory replenishment cycle. In such manner the Internet turns to become the real time solution for perpetual demand and replenishment. While the customer orders for a new product through the Internet, another set of raw materials will be replenished throughout the supply chain. The lead time moves from the serial product flow to instantaneous information flow. SCM traditionally has been involved with the cycle time reduction in terms of lead time compression that would entail the results. (Internet-enabled supply chain management)

The Internet can entail for the replacement of lead-time and waste for information and with more effective timely information, it is possible to reduce and avoid such costs. To make the SCM more effective it is possible to provide for internal sharing of information through Intranet that supports internal process within the organization. The sales…
