...C H A P T E R eBay’s Business Model AL TE 1 ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ In This Chapter Tracing eBay’s beginnings and early history Learning from eBay’s model of success Connecting with other eBay users for help and advice Exploring eBay’s own workshops and tutorials Learning about eBay’s partnership and affiliate programs I A widely circulated story that is still believed by many eBay users says that the auction site that eventually became eBay was conceived initially as a result of a conversation between Omidyar and his wife, Pam. She commented to Pierre how great it would be if she were able to collect Pez dispensers and interact with other collectors over the Internet. CO eBay is the creation not of a corporate conglomerate, but of one computer programmer who was looking for a way to make it big on the Internet. Pierre Omidyar started eBay in his San Jose, California, living room in September 1995. PY Pierre’s Vision RI GH It’s amazing to think that my nine-year-old daughter will grow up thinking that eBay always existed when in fact eBay is relatively new. In the beginning, when it wasn’t regulated, eBay evolved in a haphazard, personal fashion. If you are wondering where all the regulations and rules came from, you only have to look at how things worked before the site was popular and before it became a highly organized business operation. TE D MA f you want to become an eBay power user, you need to get all the background information...

...CHAPTER 7—PROJECT CASH FLOWS AND RISK TRUE/FALSE 1. If an investment project makes use of land that the firm currently owns, the project should be charged with the opportunity cost of the land. 2. Net incremental operating cash flow is calculated by adding back the change in depreciation to the change in income after taxes. 3. A key difference between replacement and expansion project analyses is that with replacement, the incremental cash flows are measured as the net difference between projected cash flows from the current productive assets and cash flows of the proposed new productive assets. 4. Empirical studies of risk strongly support the contention that investors who are well diversified focus exclusively on market risk when they establish required returns. 5. Quantification of risk is the easiest part of incorporating risk into capital budgeting; treatment of that calculated risk measure is more difficult. 6. If a firm is considering purchasing an asset whose beta is greater than the current beta of the firm, it should use a discount rate greater than the firm's average required rate of return to evaluate the possible investment. 7. Capital budgeting decisions must be based on the accounting income the project generates since stockholders are concerned with the reported net income the firm generates. 8. A sunk cost is a cash outlay that has already been incurred and that cannot be recovered regardless of whether the project is accepted or rejected. These sunk costs are...

...Using the Value Chain to Create Competitive Advantage A value chain is a depiction of the value activities that are linked together to create, distribute, and maintain products and services (R. Schultheis and M. Sumner). The value chain is divided into primary and support activities. Inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing, and service make up the primary activities. While on the other hand support activities include all the resources that support the primary activities like the organization, human resources, technologies and purchasing. Most firms are realizing the importance of Information Technology (IT) in ensuring that they obtain a competitive edge over their competitors and a company like Spar supermarket is not an exception. Through the use of barcode scanners Spar is able to ensure that data entry errors are minimal and that the process of data capturing is fast. The store is widely known for selling fresh quality products to its customers. This is made possible by the fact that the store has got its own database of all card carrying members where they record personal details about each buyer. With this, the store is able to obtain timely information about buying trends hence allowing it to aid in the ordering process. Armed with such information, the purchasing department is able to order more of in-demand goods while reducing the quantity of those products less demanded by customers. This also helps the advertising department as it is able to...

...Logical Framework (LogFRAME) Methodology The logical framework or logframe is an analytical tool used to plan, monitor, and evaluate projects. It derives its name from the logical linkages set out by the planner(s) to connect a project’s means with its ends. The logframe is only one monitoring and evaluation tool and its use does not pre-empt the use of other evaluation tools such as priority-setting or rate-ofreturn analysis. The logframe was originally developed by the United States Department of Defense, and adopted by the United States Agency for International Development in the late 1960s. Since then, it has been applied and modified by many bilateral donors, including Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, and Australia. Source: http://www.isnar.cgiar.org/gender/hambly.htm - International Service for Agricultural Research – “Engendering the Logical Framework – Helen Hambly Odame, Research Officer, ISNAR, August 2001 Logical Framework (LogFRAME)… has the power to communicate a project's objectives clearly and simply on a single page. Its power comes from the ability to incorporate the full range of views of all stakeholders of a project. LogFRAME is a tool for summarising the key features of a project design at the time of project identification (what is it?) during definition (what should we do?) and appraisal (should we do it?). It is an up-front planner which provides the Project Team with essential planning information for the development of project...

...Có thể nói "diễn biến hòa bình" là một thuật ngữ ra đời từ thập kỷ 60 của thế kỷ XX, khi các thế lực đế quốc, thù địch quốc tế trong cục diện đối đầu giữa hai hệ thống thế giới, đã nhận ra rằng, khó có thể chỉ dùng biện pháp vũ lực để tiêu diệt CNXH, mà phải thay đổi chiến lược, chuyển từ tiến công quân sự là chủ yếu sang tiến công bằng "diễn biến hòa bình". Nghĩa là thực hiện chiến lược xóa bỏ các nước XHCN mà không phải phát động chiến tranh, chỉ cần "diễn biến hòa bình" để chuyển hóa dần CNXH sang quỹ đạo của chủ nghĩa tư bản (CNTB). Nhất là từ những năm 90 của thế kỷ XX, thuật ngữ "diễn biến hòa bình" được sử dụng rộng rãi để thực hiện chiến lược mới của chủ nghĩa đế quốc sau "chiến tranh lạnh" trong âm mưu chống phá CNXH và các nước độc lập có xu hướng tiến bộ, muốn thoát ly ảnh hưởng của Mỹ và phương Tây. Để làm rõ bản chất của chiến lược này, người ta đã dùng nhiều thuật ngữ nhấn mạnh khía cạnh này hay khía cạnh khác của chiến lược "diễn biến hòa bình", như "chiến tranh không tiếng súng", "cuộc chiến không giới tuyến", "chiến tranh nhung lụa", "chiến tranh qua tay người khác"... Mục tiêu của chiến lược do chủ nghĩa đế quốc và các thế lực thù địch vạch ra so với trước không hề thay đổi, đó là tiêu diệt CNXH, bảo vệ sự tồn tại vĩnh hằng của chủ nghĩa đế quốc, CNTB và sự thống trị thế giới của chủ nghĩa đế quốc. Nét mới của chiến lược "diễn biến hòa bình" so với các chiến lược chống cộng, chống CNXH trước đây là ở chỗ: giành được chiến thắng mà không cần dùng đến chiến...

...A New Work Ethic Betty Hendrickson BUS309-012016 July 24, 2011 A New Work Ethic The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current work ethic of teenagers and college students who are entering the work force. The thoughts of these employees regarding hard work and scamming will also be discussed. The impacts that this work ethic will have on the future of American business will also be considered. Describe how typical the attitudes that Sheehy reports appear to be in work environments you have experienced. I have been with my company for 23 years. I am intricately involved in the hiring process. During the first year of employment, the attendance of employees is looked at very seriously. We set this expectation before the employees sign their name on the dotted line. Our retention ratio due to attendance issues is about 75%. These new employees study the handbook with diligence and find every possible loophole to their benefit. The mindset is not to work as hard as they can and do a good job, it is to do the least they can to get by. Instead of being grateful for the great benefits the company offers, they complain about having to be called in when necessary. There is no more the thought that they will make a career with a great company, but it is just used as a method to pay the bills and if this doesn’t work out, they will go somewhere else. We are in the customer service environment and the philosophy, “The customer is always right” is very...
