...E-Commerce Term Paper By: Subodh Ghimire BBA 6th semester King’s College Analysis for E-Supply Chain Management of Tesco Abstract As technology improves, people purchase more goods without leaving the house. How can they do this? They can do this via the Internet and can buy anything from different countries. Online purchasing really brings out another shopping market place to society. But not only the selling side, the buying side in e-Commerce can also be maintained using electronic supply chain management (e-SCM). In this project, the supply chain management of Tesco and the ease for suppliers and the company is described. The development of the organization and the revolution and innovation in the e-tailing industry brought forward by Tesco is worth praising. I.INTRODUCTION Tesco is Britain’s leading food retailer and the third largest in the world. Its first store was opened in 1929 in London and by the early 1960s Tesco was a familiar feature of most UK high streets. After joining the eighties trend for large out-of-town supermarkets, in the 1990s the company started pioneering many new innovations. It developed new store concepts such as Tesco Metro, a city centre store meeting the needs of local shoppers, and Tesco Express, the first UK petrol station convenience store. In 1995 the company introduced its Clubcard, the UK’s first customer loyalty card, and two years later formed a joint venture with the Royal Bank of Scotland to offer a range...

...INTRODUCTION Genesis of Mutual Funds : The goal of security industry is to a nation of shareholding capitalists to make every man and woman a participant in corporate activities. A small investor is unsophisticated as far as corporate investment is concerned, with the limited resources he/she cannot buy share of blue chip companies. He may not in most cases get allotment of the shares applied for in the primary market, on the other hand he will get full allotment of some dud shares. His investment would therefore not be balanced and diversified. He is not thereby able to minimize his risk by spreading his limited funds over different industries. He has limited access to price sensitive information on the stock exchange. He may not know the developments taking place that take place in the equity market and corporate bodies. History of the Indian Mutual Fund Industry The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank the. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases First Phase – 1964-87 Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India.

History of Brant Animal Hospital Professional Corporation Brant Animal Hospital is a well-respected veterinary practice operating in Burlington Ontario. Brant opened its doors in 1985 as a satellite operation to an established veterinary practice, Tyandaga Animal Clinic in Aldershot. Ross Petersen and Elizabeth Shaw, the two founding veterinarians of Brant, were in partnership with two other veterinarians at Tyandaga Animal Clinic. They saw Brant as an opportunity to establish a new practice without risking their current operation by breaking into a new market, and hoped eventually to be able to practice full time from Brant Animal Hospital and sell their ownership in Tyandaga Animal Clinic. Unfortunately for Petersen and Shaw, their part-time efforts yielded part-time results. After five years, they were still unable to operate Brant Animal Hospital on a full-time basis. The operation could afford to have staff available only in the afternoons, equipment was underutilized, and stock was...

...Interpretation of Modeling and Simulation Can there be a better fit for a company out there that uses Microsoft Excel to conduct modeling to simulate their business growth other than Microsoft itself? Microsoft has made billions of dollars selling their Microsoft Office Suites and their home computer operating systems around the world. They have become one of the largest and well known companies in the world. The way that I see it, is that Microsoft’s business model, in a nutshell, is to provide goods and services in the form of software and support to paying customers. One question that may be asked in this day an age is with the advances in cloud computing and Google’s “free” gadgets, will the traditional Microsoft’s business model come to an end? What will Microsoft’s business analysts do in order to change their business model? One can only imagine that it will need to be modeled and simulated first to avoid potentially expensive mistakes. I must start off by saying that before I started my Systems Modeling Theory online class through Strayer, I thought that it may just be one of the hardest classes to understand that I’ve ever taken throughout the course of my college career. I can say now after having completed the last nine weeks of class that I was correct. What’s hard, is not understanding the concepts of why businesses would use Excel models for their business growth but rather the actual use of Excel itself. With all of the bells and whistles...

...The Ethical and Legal Complexity of Medical Tourism: Questions of International Justice, Economic Redistribution and Health Care Reform Professor Sarah McBride Toro Longe April 18, 2010 M.J. Thesis in Health Law Abstract This is an essay on medical tourism in the United States of America (U.S.). It includes a brief history of the U.S. health care system, examines the social, cultural, ethical, and legal issues that have affected health care changes in America. With the number of Americans going overseas to seek medical care steadily rising, the American insurance industry expanding benefits, and the Joint Commission accrediting facilities for globalization of the health care marketplace, medical tourism should become increasingly important in the health care industry. While there are many reasons for patients seeking health care outside of their own country, one that is particularly easy to overlook is the outsourcing of health care and its effect in U.S. and around the world. The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of medical tourism, noting the specific medical tourism destinations, presenting reasons for the recent increase in medical tourism, and examining the risks and benefits, as well as wrestling with the challenging ethical and legal issues inherent in medical tourism. The paper will conclude with consideration of the role of the law in medical tourism. Introduction Over the past 100 years, the United States of America (U.S.) has changed greatly...
