...and Robert M. O’Keefe 1 1 Department of Information Systems and Computing, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK 2 Institute for Information Systems, University of Munster, Germany Abstract Early research in electronic markets seemed to suggest that E -Commerce transactions would result in decreased costs for buyers and sellers alike, and would therefore ultimately lead to the elimination of intermediaries from electronic value chains. However, a careful analysis of the structure and functions of electronic marketplaces reveals a different picture. Intermediaries provide many value-adding functions that cannot be easily substituted or ‘internalised’ through direct supplier-buyer dealings, and hence mediating parties may continue to play a significant role even in the E-Commerce world. In this paper we provide an analysis of the potential roles of intermediaries in electronic markets and we articulate a number of hypotheses for the future of intermediation in such markets. Three main scenarios are discussed: the disintermediation scenario where market dynamics will favour direct buyer-seller transactions, the reintermediation scenario where traditional intermediaries will be forced to differentiate themselves and re emerge in the electronic marketplace, and the cybermediation scenario where wholly new markets for intermediaries will be created. The analysis suggests that the likelihood of each scenario dominating a given market is primarily dependent on the exact functions...

...Management of Accounts Receivable December 1997 Contents Preface Introduction The Accounts Receivable Process Re-Engineering Accounts Receivable Risk Management Use of Advanced Technology Debt Collection Processes Performance Measurement Appendix Preface This guide accompanies the Auditor-General’s Audit Report No. 29, Management of Accounts Receivable in the Commonwealth. It is intended to provide an overview of the current trends and "better practice" approaches that are being adopted by organisations in managing accounts receivable. In the commercial world the way in which organisations manage their accounts receivable has significant implications for the financial health of those organisations. This creates an imperative to ensure the management of receivables is both efficient and effective. The practices used in common business processes such as accounts receivable management have universal application and are not industry specific. In this regard there are lessons to be learned by others from the practices followed by organisations for whom accounts receivable is a core business process. The better practices discussed in this guide are therefore recommended for consideration by Commonwealth government agencies. Not all of the practices outlined in this guide will suit each agency’s circumstances, however, it is considered that most agencies, which derive revenue on sale of goods and services on credit terms, will benefit from benchmarking their current practices...

...used by tangible packaged goods. The stealth positioning method can be used on technology based products. 3. Reverse positioning occurs when a service providing firm drastically eliminates the number of features typically offered the customer in the industry. While reducing the number of options given to the customer, the firm introduces new high quality features that serve a niche market. Breakaway positioning involves the re-branding of a product into a new marketplace. No features of the product are eliminated nor introduced. The product is simply marketed toward a new audience. Stealth positioning is a complex strategy of introducing new products to consumers in a non-straightforward manner. In short, consumers buy the product believing it to be used for one purpose, when in practical function, it is used for other purposes. Part B. Implications for Application 1. Commerce Bank and JetBlue are two models of reverse positioning. Instead of competing with other banks by offering high interest and other account opening incentives for opening, Commerce Bank offers a very limited number of account types, but many more convenient benefits to the customer including notably the extended late night and weekend hours and coin counting...
