...marketing campaign that will meet all of these goals. Infibeam grew rapidly during its first three years in business, but it did so only by word-of-mouth advertising. Infibeam has never undertaken a marketing campaign of the magnitude needed to attain its current goals. Several models were used to analyze the environmental and competitive challenges facing Infibeam and multiple alternatives were identified. These alternatives vary in complexity and anticipated effectiveness. The recommendation that is most likely to allow Infibeam to meet all of its stated goals is a combination of fundraising, marketing and corporate restructuring. Implementation of the recommendations in this analysis will propel Infibeam into the top 5 e-retailers in India.

...E-Business in Students Life’s Behavioral simulations are often used as a way of exposing students to "real life" situations to gain firsthand experience of business problems and solutions, however at the University of the Sunshine Coast we chose to use "experiential learning" as one of the teaching strategies in the unit INF320 Electronic Commerce by exposing final year Bachelor of Business, Information Systems students to implement actual electronic commerce business solutions by drawing on their previous theoretical and behavioral classroom simulations in a tripartite collaborative activity over a whole semester involving the student, the business owner and the university.

Amazon’s management team is led by “clear thinking and a cohesive vision, even if it takes a while for rivals to figure out Amazon’s motives.”Amazon Fresh’s most marketable feature that will resonate with customers the most is that it offers local products. Amazon Fresh works with small business, which gives customers“more of a local flavor than places like Wal-Mart.”Thanks to Amazon’s close relationship with its suppliers allows it to offer the lowest overall prices for household items. Weaknesses Amazon Fresh is currently in a few cities. Amazon Fresh will need a lot of time to expand. Think about how long it took Wal-Mart to expand. Amazon Fresh must also built dedicated refrigerated warehouses to be able to handle fresh fruit and frozen items.With properties over valued in Canada it will limit Amazon’s ability to expand. Amazon Fresh may have trouble hiring people because workers have told Business Insider that it’s a “bruising workplace where employees are asked to harshly critique their peers...
