"Technology & Innovation
Technological Improvements
The concept of Toys "R" Us did not change greatly for most of the company's history. The company has long offered large stores with significantly more choices in toys and related items at discounted prices. During the 1980s and 1990s, the company took advantage of innovations in the computer industry to put together a comprehensive inventory control system which both helps it contain costs and forecast sales, and which ostensibly gave the company a competitive edge in the industry. However, it was in the late 1990s that Toys "R" Us took full advantage of the Information Revolution and went on-line.
The company's toysrus.com Internet presence was soon linked with Amazon.com and..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the various benefits or risks involved with e-stores and internet shopping. The specific case of the international chain of toy shops, Toys "R" Us, is examined. The paper outlines the steps needed to be taken to ensure success with the new marketing strategy. The paper emphasizes that the new market requires a new approach, specific to that market.
From the Paper
"These benefits explain the growth of Internet retailers of toys, with this growth cutting into the profits and the market share of Toys ?R? Us. This financial effect, with Toys ?R? Us seeming to go downhill despite not changing anything or doing anything wrong themselves, is the reason they felt the need to establish themselves in the Internet market. This Internet market was clearly the way the trend was going, as indicated by the growth of retailers such as eToys.com and SmarterKids.com. Toys ?R? Us needed to establish itself in this market, since bricks and mortar retailing seemed like a dying trend. It is also worth noting that the Internet retail store is a new market and the first to establish themselves in the market have a significant advantage."

From the Paper
"Market Structure
Industry Analysis
Although Toys "R" Us participates in the Specialty Retail industry (SIC 5945--Retail--Hobby, Toy & Game), it has identified its major competitors not as other specialty toy retailers, but as department and discount stores, including Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target ("Annual Report," 2001, p. 9). Within the specialty retail segment, Toys "R" Us competes against FAO Schwartz and K-B Toys ("Annual Report," 2001, p. 11).
The discount and department stores against which Toys "R" Us competes do not break down their revenue by product segment, so it is impossible to gauge the market share of toys that these stores generate. However, as the company moves into additional segments, including..."

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

Abstract
The paper looks at the history of toys and examines what toys children like today. The paper explains that toys were originally associated with the amusement of adults. The paper is set up as a research study that uses two informants as subjects of study. Each subject was asked to bring their favourite toy with them to the interview where data was collected.
From the Paper
"Toys were originally associated with the amusement of adults (Grossman, 1999). However, according to some researchers, in the 19th century, toys became strongly linked to the lives of children due in part to the industrial revolution and the increase in the standard of living. In the 1800's kids who lived in rural areas had very little time for play. Most of these children spent long hours working on the family farm. When given the time, children played with pieces of string, bits of wood, corncobs, old wagon wheels, or whatever else was available (Grossman, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper presents a SWOTT analysis for SmarterKids and Walmart Toys, two children?s toy Internet retailers. The author feels that the strength of SmarterKids is their unique strategy focusing specifically on providing toys that help children learn. The author feels that one of the strengths of Walmart Toys is the reputation of the ?brick and motar? Walmart itself.
From the Paper
"With the rise of the dual-income family, the traditional mother role is not often present, with parents instead juggling work and career. This creates an opportunity to respond to a new market of parents who are specifically seeking toys that help their children learn. If this learning combines play and learning time, the parent has effectively made better use of their time."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Two different theories of cognitive development are examined. The first is that proposed by Piaget. The second is that proposed by Vygotsky. Firstly, these theories are presented. This allows for the differences between each to be noted. These theories are then used to examine children?s toys. Three toys are discussed for each of the theories, showing how each toy contributes to cognitive development. These toys include blocks, shape sorters, animal sound books and more.
From the Paper
"Piaget?s theory of cognitive development was based on an attempt to understand how children think. Piaget maintained that children act differently at different ages because they think differently. Piaget?s theory on cognitive development can be divided into two sections: the process associated with coming to know; and the stages of cognitive development individuals progress through."
