...Part A Visit ebay.com and look at the many types of auctions available. What are the top 3 market opportunities you would pursue based on the goods and auction community in evidence at eBay? Discuss in detail. The different types of Auctions available in Ebay are : Normal Auctions. These are the bread-and-butter of eBay, the auctions everyone knows: buyers bid, others outbid them, they bid again, and the winner gets the item. Simple. Reserve Auctions. Reserve auctions are for sellers who don't want their items to sell for less than a certain price - a concept you'll know about if you're familiar with real auctions. They work just like normal auctions on eBay, except that the buyer will be told if their bid does not meet the reserve price you set, and they'll need to bid again if they want the item. If no-one is willing to meet your price, then the auction is cancelled, and you keep the item. Fixed Price ('Buy it Now') Auctions. Buy it Now auctions can work in one of two ways. You can add a Buy it Now button to a normal auction, meaning that buyers can choose either to bid normally or to simply pay the asking price and avoid the whole bidding process. Some sellers, though, now cut out the auction process altogether and simply list all their items at fixed price. This lets you avoid all the complications of the auction format and simply list your items for how much you want them to sell for. Recently, eBay added a twist to fixed price auctions: the 'best offer'. This...

...Assignment 2 1. What are some of the reasons a company would separate its online operations into a new company? The reasons why a company would separate its online operations into a new company would be that the predictable e-business volume will be large, a new business model has to be developed if there are constraints from the current one, there is no reliance on the legacy system or current operations, and the online company is given freedom to attract new talent, set their own prices, raise funding and make new alliances. Separating the online operations would reduce internal conflicts; build a new and more efficient system and also have the ability to create new brands more proficiently. To avoid store cannibalism, to settle a new subsidiary and look for new branding opportunities: 4/5 2. Explain why supply chain management should be aligned with corporate strategy.

Aligning this with corporate strategy is important, as companies need to keep inventory manageable so they can keep cost down...
