Abstract
This document discusses China's current economic success and expansion from the perspective of its historical continuity and identity. The writer contends that the early consolidation of China under the Emperor Huangdi is the initial shift that provides the foundation for the national and cultural consistency that supports business enterprise in the market. Additionally, the writer discusses that structural economic and social reforms instituted under Deng Xiaoping are utilized as part of this evolutionary development that allows China to effectively leverage its labor force as a competitive advantage to dominate manufacturing and trade. The writer concludes that China's historical past relevant to its unification ensured that it would develop the strong national identity required to support a market economy that could leverage its workforce to gain competitive advantage.

Current Economic Growth
Conclusion
From the Paper
" This research project examines the current economic and professional success both at a national levels as well as a global level within the context of its historical past and its evolutionary development as a nation. It is argued that China's early unification under a single Emperor during the 3rd century B.C. laid the foundation for national and cultural unity which provides much of the necessary social continuity for the country's current economic success. Additionally, the reforms implemented by Deng Xiaoping are seen as the requisite structural changes which China needed to institute if it were going to successfully navigate the global economy and integrate itself within the international trade framework. Finally, the economic expansion that China is currently experiencing is touched upon as a result of these historical and structural advancements and the social factors of Chinese society are as a key component of Chinese enterprise now and in the future."

From the Paper
"Many, if not most, Americans growing up in the last three decades have played the game Monopoly. And, many, if not most, of those people can state precisely who designed the game: a man named Charles Darrow. Yet a woman named Lizzie McGee, who eventually had her rights purchased for a minimal amount, created an early form of Monopoly. Despite having her patent recognized when the first version of the game was registered, McGee's name is unrecognized by all but a few people familiar with the game (Sharpe, 2004, par.1)."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer identifies some of the complex technological and human issues involved in the world of information technology management and explains its importance in the world of business.
From the Paper
"In today?s world of business, information technology is necessary for the success and competitive edge of the business. Information Technology or IT as it is often referred as has come so far in recent years, that managers need it to assist them with duties. Information technology consists of more than just traditional computers and laptops but, can also include email, palm pilots, telecommunications, office systems, industrial automation, robotics and cellular devices. Any manager of even the smallest family-based business in the future will have to come to terms in small measure with the world of IT. A manager?s ability to handle the flow (including storage and retrieval of information in computer databases) in an office will be one of the primary skills by which that manager is judged and which in turn determines the overall success or failure of the business as a whole."

This paper reflects how by showing good ethics in the workplace, and in leadership, one can see how creativity and strategic talent will create an abundance of profit within legal boundaries.
From the Paper
"This business study will examine the role of proper ethics in the classical Greek tradition, but within the premise of modern business. In the case of the Martha Stewart as an example of business ethics abuse, one can realize the depth of corruption that has damaged the validity of big business. By examining some of Plato's ethical perspectives through the modern business world, the use of ethics can be useful in preventing further acts of business abuse within the higher corporate levels. The role of ethics in the modern business world is to make sure that all get a fair and level playing field in the market. In this manner, no one should be able to 'cheat' when it comes to gaining information, which will help determine one's success or failure. "

Computer Security in the Business World, 2000.
An analysis of the necessity of computer security in the business world.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines computer security as a critical factor for the success of any corporation. The degree of crimes that can occur through computers and through the Internet are examined to prove just how serious the issue at hand is. Installing the appropriate security software on the network is costly, but the paper proves that considering the cost of having a hacker access the corporation's plans, financial records, and/or the credit card numbers of customers, it is well worth the price.
From the Paper
"Cyberterorrism, information warfare, and economic espionage are looked into to prove the disasters that could be awaiting corporations and governemnts worldwide. Cyberspace is the latest arena for crime; and hacking is one of those crimes. Several examples are given, as well as "a group of hackers testified before Congress stating that better security is needed because a sophisticated hacker could disable the global network in less than 30 minutes and keep it that way for days. A Swedish hacker jammed the 911 emergency phone system in Florida. A Russian hacker transferred $3.7 million from Citibank in New York to numerous accounts around the world. Teenage hackers broke into the Pentagon's computer system and took software that is used to track military satellites. A hacker altered phone switches so that calls placed to a phone-sex line in New York were routed to a Florida county probation department""

Abstract
This paper discusses how ethical issues in the business world have changed since the demise of companies such as Enron, WorldCom, and Arthur Andersen. According to this paper, several different approaches have been suggested for businesses today to cope with the issue of ethics and for corporations to develop ethical guidelines.
Outline:
Introduction
Ethical Issues
Ethical Grounding
Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The issue needs to be considered from the smallest infraction to the major ones. The latter, of course, are what get a company into trouble, while the former often lead to the latter. However, business people seem to have a number of rationales for why certain behaviors that might be unethical in everyday life are not in business. Carr (1993) argues that there is an agreement among people in business that bluffing is accepted and that, in the words of British statesman Henry Taylor, "falsehood ceases to be falsehood when it is understood on all sides that the truth is not expected to be spoken" (Carr, 1993, p. 143). Carr argues that bluffing is not unethical in this context. It is not lying because while both bluffing and lying would be meant to deceive bluffing in business is accepted as part of the price of doing business and so cannot be considered lying."

Temps in the Business World, 2002.
A look at the hiring of temps for more permanent roles in the workplace.
861 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 8 sources, MLA, £ 21.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"Temps" as used in this paper is as an abbreviation for "temporary" workers, a phenomenon of the world business scene, which is growing at a consistent rate. This paper looks at the change in the use of office temps where originally the concept of hiring a temporary was to provide a "fill in" for a permanent employee who was absent for reasons such as illness, emergency leaves and vacations. To support the argument, the writer provides statistics and opinions that show the increasing use of temps as a more permanent part of the business world.
From the Paper
"Although the per hour charge from the temp agency might be greater than the regular per hour wage paid a regular full-time employee, the ancillary savings in company benefits usually makes up for that difference. Mangum, Mayall, and Nelson's 1985 study (still quoted today) was one of the first to note that "the savings from reduced employee benefit costs is often substantial. A positive relationship between average fringe benefit level and the ratio of temporary to total employee use was found in a large number of organizations."

Ethical Decision Making in the Business World, 2004.
Examines why business ethics is not an oxymoron.
1,218 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 2 sources, APA, £ 29.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In light of the current scandals that have gripped the world?s economic headlines and reduced the overall levels of trust in the nation?s business leaders, ethical decision making has become a hot-button issue, both in the halls of academia, where MBAs receive their educations, and also in the everyday language of decision makers in the fields of business administration. This paper shows that what is so potent about the examples of Enron and WorldCom, among other companies accused of fraudulent and criminal business ethics, as well as of Martha Stewart, a brand name as well as an example of 'housewifery gone corporate logo', is that bad ethics can be bad business. When ethical scandals grip a company, that company?s future and good name can be destroyed. The paper shows, therefore, that the idea that the only ethical query someone need ask him or herself when engaged in a business transaction is ?will it make money for the company I work for? is a fallacy.
From the Paper
"Thus, the elements of an ethically defensible decision cannot always be quantified, although they must always be legal, if for only to ensure the continued financial survival of the company. However, for decisions that are ethical and financial in nature, rather than legal, there is no exact calculus, only the need to examine the implications of various options from a multitude of self-interests and perspectives, rather than simply one?s own."

Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of change in the business environment and follows with a discussion of organizational culture. Next, the paper discusses both concepts in combination in order to analyze the the statement: "In order to be effective, change strategies must be congruent with the organization culture".
From the Paper
"Good leadership and management are therefore necessary to support the organizational culture in its adaptation to change strategies within the company. A project manager should ensure a transition which is conducive to the minimum amount of strain and maximum amount of productivity during the implementation of change strategies. Impact on performance should be minimized while the elements of the performance environment are reviewed. These elements include the requirements, capabilities, resources and rewards inherent in this environment. The new way of working should be supported by these changes, and an ability and willingness to work within the new culture should be cultivated (Langdon & Bruce, 1997:32). Without the ability and willingness on the part of the organizational culture to accept change, both the strategic and cultural fit of a company are in danger."
