It is not intended to be a coherent historical survey of this field, nor can it claim to be a balanced selection from theorists of current influence and future pathways. For this reason it seems useful here to clarify the lines of thought developed in the contents of this proposal, so that the reader can appreciate the context in which we must put our strategies and sincere efforts. An actual situation will be explored and real life experiences will be taken in, as well as problems, which might be thought more intrinsic to formulation of aims, content, methods (and so on) of a particular primary school education system. In the proposal I wish to create the context, take it through the framework of reasoning the context, bringing out relevance and defining the objective and the way to meet...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION It is widely acknowledged today that new technologies, in particular access to the Internet, tend to modify communication between the different players in the professional world, notably: the enterprise-clients relationship, the enterprise-employee relationships, and the relationship of the enterprise to their partners and suppliers. Electronic business, known as e-business, refers to business functions on the internet, ranging from buying and selling to customers services and even collaborating with business partners. It is the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in support of all the activities of business. Electronic business methods enable companies to link their internal and external data processing systems more efficiently and flexibly, to work more closely to suppliers and partners, and to better satisfy the needs and expectations of their customer. Since the explosion of the internet age, e-businesses have gradually come to compete with the long standing structure of traditional businesses. With every year that passes, e-business becomes simpler and more cost-effective than creating a traditional business due to a variety of factors. Let us find whether E-business is an effective way for customers in buying products as the researchers go on with their study about Perceptions of Poblacion Nasugbu on the Effectiveness of E-business in Buying Goods and Services.

...1. Introduction 1.1 From the dawn of human civilization, we, human being are directly or indirectly dependent to each other. For our better living, we created family, then formed group/society, then country and international community. Each individual, each family, each group and each country are dependent on each other by some means. For the easy exchange of dependency, people introduced business. “Business is defined as the exchange of goods, services or money for mutual benefit or profit.” (Skinner and Ivanncevich, 1992, p.8) The organizations that involve in profit making activities are called business organizations. Business may be trade, commerce or industry. To make business organized, it must be governed by some rules and regulations which we call business laws. Each country has independent business laws. Business organizations must operate within the boundaries of laws and government regulations. 1.2 Laws have been developed not only to protect consumers but also to preserve competition. Government agencies enforce these laws at the federal, state, and local levels. Business firms that do not comply with the laws face fines and other penalties. 2. Aim The aim of this assignment is to give a general idea regarding the laws that affect business. 3. Scope In this assignment I have limited my focus on the laws of Bangladesh that affect business. However, I have also focused on some of the laws of USA, UK and India those affect business but not yet clearly...
