...國際貿易學系研究所 碩 士 論 文 The Integrated Business Model for E-Commerce 指 導 教 授：黃焜煌 博士 研 究 生 ：譚雅 中華民國一百年一月 The Integrated Business Model for E-Commerce Abstract In today’s ever developing e-commerce world, the success of any enterprise strongly depends on its chosen business model. Since the peculiarities of each firm’s external and internal environment differ drastically, sometimes it is difficult to find a unified scheme for any organization to implement. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create a universal business model, the Integrated Business Model for E-Commerce, which could be applied to any business. This Model consists of nine main categories, which in their turn are subdivided into different business models. Through its major characteristics:1) it can be implemented for the analysis of any business; and 2) it can be used for the future investment purposes; the Integrated Business Model will serve companies as an efficient tool in the analysis and evaluation of their business.

...Kyle Esber Jordan Betenson Kristin Romanowski Secondary data research Our group believes that putting Redbox kiosks on Kent States campus would have incredible success. The data we are starting to put together involves Secondary data that we have begun to conduct. Secondary Data can be defined as “information that has previously been gathered by someone other than the researcher and/or for some other purpose than the research project at hand”. Our group has already conducted studies and began our own primary data, but having said that, Secondary data is key in proving that Redbox kiosks will be very popular to Kent’s student body. Internal secondary data by Redbox shows that they prefer to only put these kiosks on campuses with at least 15,000 students, says Liana Solis, who has personally attempted the movement of Kiosks on the campus. Obviously Kent State would be perfect for this with an estimated body of 28,000, which nearly doubles the prerequisite of students. Gathering Secondary data for the Redbox kiosks would have several advantages. After we send out our personally made survey, we will continue to use the resources already created and base what we do off that. One advantage of secondary data gathering is how inexpensive and readily available it is. Another advantage is how quick it can be found. The information has already been done, so it’s already there when you look for it. We have found that Redbox would be very popular through online sources (primary...

...Abstract Businesses, both large multinational and small to medium, should take the threats and risks they could face seriously. Security Risk Management (SRM), Business Continuity Management (BCM) and Emergency Planning (EP) assist in achieving this by putting in place effective risk identification and management measures. Effective management of risk can make the difference between success or failure of business operations during and after difficult events. Threats can include man made threats, such as terrorist attacks, or naturally occurring threats such as earthquakes. Effective risk identification and management is essential to any business, especially with the current uncertainty in the world’s economic climate. In order for businesses to survive, during times of increased strain on business operations, it is essential that an alignment between security and business operations can be achieved. This can be achieved by the security department not only widening the remit to cover more risks, but changing how the department works and relates to the rest of the business; including shared responsibility for things such as Corporate Governance, Information Assurance, Business Continuity, Reputation Management and Crisis Management. The problem is security departments now have more responsibilities in an increasingly complex and fast moving world. Security Risk management is no longer an activity just for companies who work in high-risk areas or with exposure to significant...

...Functional Area Interrelationships BUS/475 - INTEGRATED BUSINESS TOPICS Functional Area Interrelationships Team A will look at Kudler Fine Foods and analyze the company’s mission, vision, values, and goals. They will analyze the organizational goals and identify the key positions and conclude with collaboration of functional goals, vertical collaboration, and identify the key stakeholders and what their roles are. Kudler Fine Foods vision was introduced by a woman who had the vision to open up her own gourmet shop, selling gourmet foods and tools that one would need. In 1998, she was able to do that with her first store in La Jolla, California. From there she went on to open up two more stores; one is in Encinitas, California and one in Del Mar. When it comes to analyzing her mission, Team A would agree that she is on the right track with keeping with her mission, which is to “provide customers with the finest selection of the very best foods and wines” (Kudler, Kathy, 2012). Team A does not believe that Kathy would under value her customer service because that is what her business will thrive on. In her business, her loyalty to customer service far outweighs anything else. She wants the best for her customers at a cost that is affordable. She even has an incentive program, where her customers can come in and cook in her store and bring guest along to cook as well. Kathy loves to interact with her customers and gather ideas as to what they would like to see, therefore...

...Electronic Design Automation and the Design of Integrated Circuits Abstract A circuit, simply put, is defined as a complete path around which an electric current can flow in order to complete a predesigned task. Circuit design is the intermediate process by which electrical circuits are moved from the specification stage - where the circuit’s purpose is determined - to the production stage, where all of the information necessary to build a working circuit is ready for implementation. In order to keep up with demand for consumer electronics, a fast and efficient way to design and construct the myriad types of circuitry must be in place. This essay will illustrate the basics of circuit design and describe the automated circuit design process. Electronic Design Automation In a large part of the world, electronics are a mainstay of modern society. In the beginning, electronics were much more simple in design, but with the caveat of being much larger today: in the 1980s cellular phones weighed upwards of two pounds and were about three times the size of modern cell phones. Over time, as electronics became smaller and as demand for them increased, a way to design and construct smaller and more efficient circuits became necessary. Enter Electronic Design Automation. An electric circuit is an electrical path that provides a path for an electrical current to flow. While it may seem like a simple matter to design and construct a circuit, the process has become quite intensive...

...computers relied on ‘machine language’ (which is the most basic programming language that can be understood by computers). These computers were limited to solving one problem at a time. Input was based on punched cards and paper tape. Output came out on print-outs. The two notable machines of this era were the UNIVAC and ENIAC machines – the UNIVAC is the first every commercial computer which was purchased in 1951 by a business – the US Census Bureau. 1956 – 1963: Second Generation [ Transistors ] The replacement of vacuum tubes by transistors saw the advent of the second generation of computing. Although first invented in 1947, transistors weren’t used significantly in computers until the end of the 1950s. They were a big improvement over the vacuum tube, despite still subjecting computers to damaging levels of heat. However they were hugely superior to the vacuum tubes, making computers smaller, faster, cheaper and less heavy on electricity use. They still relied on punched 1964 – 1971: Third Generation [ Integrated Circuits ] By this phase, transistors were now being miniaturised and put on silicon chips (called semiconductors). This led to a massive increase in speed and efficiency of these machines. These were the first computers where users interacted using keyboards and monitors which interfaced with an operating system, a significant leap up from the punch cards and printouts. This enabled these machines to run several applications...

...valued semiconductor chip makers, based on revenue.[4] It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Intel Corporation, founded on July 18, 1968, is a portmanteau of Integrated Electronics (the fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information also made the name appropriate). Intel also makes motherboardchipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneersRobert Noyce and Gordon Moore and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Though Intel was originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, its "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it a household name, along with its Pentium processors. Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until 1981. Although Intel created the world's first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became its primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor designs fostering the rapid growth of the computer industry. During this period Intel became the dominant supplier of microprocessors for PCs, and was known for aggressive...

After the partial sale to Lucent in 1999, VTC’s management operated the facility as Polar Fab for several years, by producing silicon wafers for other firms until the Japan-based semiconductor manufacture bought the facility and named it Polar Semiconductor, INC (PSI). Currently PSI occupied 200,000-square-foot area, which includes 62,000 square area feet of clean room space that the company are using to produces wafer. Wafer fabrication is a very time-consuming and complicated procedure. It is the process of building integrated circuits on silicon wafers. According to Twin Cities Business magazine report, (PSI) has a plan to expend the facility by adding on their present 200,000 square-foot facility that located in Bloomington. By the time when the new expansion completed it will open 300 job opportunity in Bloomington. Now days many organization change their method of controlling, organizing and managing their production by using the availability of technology. PSI is one of the organizations who are using the opportunity that technology offer for us. PSI is using information system that makes their production and communication effective and easy. Since...

...development of the microprocessor. All digital computers use electronic switches. These switches represent binary digits or bits. The first computers used vacuum tubes as switches to represent on-or-off binary data, but vacuum tubes had many problems. Without the invention of the transistor, microprocessors and the modern computer would not be possible. Bell Laboratory engineers John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invented the transistor in 1947 (transistor). Transistors consumed less power than vacuumed tubes and were microscopic in comparison, this allowed smaller, faster, and more reliable computers to be designed and used. The invention of transistors set the stage for the invention of the integrated circuit and then the microprocessor. The inventor of the first practical integrated circuit in 1959, was Robert Noyce. According to Berlin, “Robert Noyce has...

...THE HISTORY OF COMPUTER One of the earliest machines designed to assist people in calculations was the abacus which is still being used some 5000 years after its invention. In 1642 Blaise Pascal (a famous French mathematician) invented an adding machine based on mechanical gears in which numbers were represented by the cogs on the wheels. Englishman, Charles Babbage, invented in the 1830's a "Difference Engine" made out of brass and pewter rods and gears, and also designed a further device which he called an "Analytical Engine". His design contained the five key characteristics of modern computers:- 1. An input device 2. Storage for numbers waiting to be processed 3. A processor or number calculator 4. A unit to control the task and the sequence of its calculations 5. An output device Augusta Ada Byron (later Countess of Lovelace) was an associate of Babbage who has become known as the first computer programmer. An American, Herman Hollerith, developed (around 1890) the first electrically driven device. It utilised punched cards and metal rods which passed through the holes to close an electrical circuit and thus cause a counter to advance. This machine was able to complete the calculation of the 1890 U.S. census in 6 weeks compared with 7 1/2 years for the 1880 census which was manually counted. In 1936 Howard Aiken of Harvard University convinced Thomas Watson of IBM to invest $1 million in the development of an electromechanical version of Babbage's analytical engine...

...Intel Company Overview Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore were among the eight founders of Fairfield Semiconductor in the late 1950’s. While at Fairchild Moore & Noyce decided to branch out on their own and start a company developing large scale integrated circuits. Noyce wrote a one page business plan that attracted an investor named Art Rock, who was also at Fairchild. Rock was able to sell their vision to other investors and raised 2.5 million dollars in only two days. Together with this money they started Intel in 1968 and within the first two years they developed the first micro processor, as well as the first erasable programmable memory. This helped the company earn their first million dollars by 1973 and their first billion by 1983. In the early 90’s Intel CEO was Andrew Grove, also from Fairchild, he created Intel Inside Campaign that helped the Intel brand grow to the third most valuable in the world. Controlling 85% of the market Intel was the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world with plants in Europe, Asia and the United States. By the early 21st century, Intel's microprocessors were found in more than 80 percent of personal computers worldwide. Then-CEO Craig Barrett attempted to diversify the company's business beyond semiconductors, but few of these activities were ultimately successful. Intel remained competitive through a combination of clever marketing, well-supported research and development, superior manufacturing proficiency, and a vital corporate...
