...the Library Handbook addresses how to cite recourses used in the body and the reference list of your document using the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Common examples for parenthetical text citations, citing direct quotes, and reference citations in the reference list are provided, but for a more comprehensive list, see the APA manual (6th ed.). Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism Plagiarism is the use of another person’s ideas or words without giving them the proper credit. Plagiarism can occur when you use someone else’s exact words without giving them credit, taking credit for someone else’s ideas, or even presenting your own past work as a new idea. Academic institutions take both intentional and unintentional plagiarism seriously, and it can be grounds for dismissal. According to the APA manual (6th ed.), the best method of avoiding plagiarism is to cite the ideas, theories, and research that directly influenced your work, cite key background information, information that may support or dispute your theory or hypothesis, or offer critical definitions or data (p. 169). Document all facts and figures that are not common knowledge. For journal articles and class assignments, APA recommends using one or two of the most representative sources for each key point, but for the literature review for a dissertation, you should include a more exhaustive list of citations. See APA (6th ed.), pp. 15-16 for more information. In-Text Citations ...

...include page numbers, e.g. Samovar and Porter (1997) point out that , "language involves attaching meaning to symbols" (p.188). Alternatively, "Language involves attaching meaning to symbols" (Samovar & Porter, 1997, p. 188). A quotation of 40 or more words should be formatted as a freestanding, indented block of text without using quotation marks. Indirect quotation/paraphrasing Attaching meaning to symbols is considered to be the origin of written language (Samovar & Porter, 1997). NB: Page numbers are optional when paraphrasing, although it is useful to include them. Citations from a secondary source Peterson (as cited in Samovar & Porter, 1997) states that language must be first understood as symbols. Reference List At the end of your essay, you are required to provide the full bibliographic information for each source. References must be listed in alphabetical order by author. For books, each reference should include four elements: (1) Author/Editor, (2) Date, (3) Title, and (4) Publication Information. NB. There is a full stop...

...F21EC E-COMMERCE TECHNOLOGY Coursework 2 Report on Business Model Classification for eBusiness Name: Vasileios Papapathanasiou Student Number: H00204955 Question 1 Since the 1990s, many different Business Models for eBusiness have been suggested by various authors. According to Hayes and Finnegan(2005), Timmers(1999) has classified the Business Models in eleven different categories. In this report, seven of these categories will be investigated and supported with real Business examples, in order to get a clear view of the characteristics of each category. One of the most famous business-to-consumer (B2C) models is the e-shop. An e-shop is the electronic presence of a shop or a company. It is used to promote the services or the products which are offered by a company over the Web. Also, in most of the cases, an e-shop allows customers to buy these products and pay for them online without the need to go to the shop directly. This business model can be beneficial for the company, by attracting more customers from all over the world which can increase the sales and eventually the profit, and by having lower costs for advertisement and human resources. From the customers point of view, purchasing goods from an e-shop can be advantageous, because the prices are at the most circumstances lower , in comparison with the traditional shop, and it can be made from the comfort of their own home. In addition, an e-shop is accessible 24 hours per day-365 days per year, which...

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.

Economics of switching costs is the summation of various types of switching costs including: compatibility costs (and their relationship to network effects), contractual costs, transaction costs, search costs, learning costs, uncertainty costs and shopping costs.
