This paper discusses the minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise (MWDBE) in the State of North Carolina, which is focused on by the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) office. The paper describes the goal for the state in terms of MWDBE and the objectives of the policy. The paper then looks at the pros of the public policy related to minority, women and disadvantaged businesses and how the policy can be successfully implemented.
From the Paper
"This can be accomplished through dedicated workers that strive to achieve organizational goals and that have the training and skills to ensure that the public policy is beneficial to all stakeholders in Charlotte. The Partnership for Public Service of the United States believes that this is possible when the right people are recruited, who believe that the issues associated with the community are essential to the well being of all people ("Welcome", n.d.). Yet, in order to attract the right people to accomplish this task the organization must be capable of providing a working environment that supports the desire to successfully serve the public."

Abstract

The paper finds that, although the program has been successful in general in some cases, the public policy has conflicted with other local government regulations. The paper relates that women in particular often found that they were being ignored by governmental and business entities.
Outline:
Evaluation of Public Policy Issue
Affect on Stakeholders
Public Policy Utilization
Evaluation of Competing Interest
From the Paper
"In general the MWBDE public policy was created to benefit the entire community, to include minorities, women and disadvantaged business owners, through their interactions with government and the larger established businesses in the community. The core of the policy provides a means of positively impacting consumers, business owners and the government through business exchanges that ensure growth. However, Langbein and Wilson (1994) contend that these intended benefits have not always been realized because of added local regulations that affect MWBDE groups.
"Langbein and Wilson (1994) discuss the fact that the MWBDE public policy often impacts business owners through local government regulations, which are intended to benefit these entities (p. 259). Langbein and Wilson (1994) state that in many cases the location of a business will determine the costs of the items being sold, the type of items sold and the public sectors that the business may serve. This is because the local government, through zoning laws and taxing determines the standards for business operation in different locales. For example, within public airports the government may implement regulations in which the business is allowed to only sell certain items and these items mist be priced competitively against the prices within other regional airports (Langbein & Wilson, 1994, p. 259). Additionally, local governments generally place airport taxes on these items that are beyond the normal taxation limits found n the surrounding community (p. 259). These taxes are then collected by the government and used for local community need, such as the operation of the local government, roads and schools. The policies do not change in relation to these types of businesses because the local government begins to depend on the income that they produce for the government and alteration of these regulations would mean restructuring of funding or the loss of continuing programs."

From the Paper
"The role and importance of nonprofit corporations in the global marketplace is becoming increasingly important. Besides offering a number of services and employment venues otherwise unavailable, nonprofits also, in general, add social value to the marketplace by providing goods and services that society has deemed socially worthwhile, whatever the monetary, market value might be. If only for this reason, nonprofit corporations constitute an invaluable sector of the global marketplace. However, nonprofit corporations face significant problems, often stemming from financial subsidy."

Ethical Consequences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The city of Charlotte focuses consistently on the needs of the community and the ethical standards that are essential in evaluating programs and the populations that those programs affect ("City", 2006, p. 14). In some locations the economic development initiatives that have been attempted through the creation of enterprise zones have not been affective because of the government's willingness to bend rules regarding enterprise zone policies and support wealthy business owners. Yet, in North Carolina this issue was alleviated with the changes in the policies associated with enterprise zones in 1999. It is for this reason that it is evident that the inclusion of MWBDE businesses within enterprise zones in North Carolina would be handled with the utmost ethical considerations, leading to a successful partnership between enterprise zones and the disadvantaged businesses in the zone areas."

Discussion
From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Abstract
According to Julie Des Jardins in her book, "Women and the Historical Enterprise", over the course of the evolution of American historiography, American men by and large have provided the cultural and ideological narrative lens of focus-a focus upon males, upon whites, and upon actions and stories that American men have deemed important. This paper enlarges on Des Jardin's idea and shows how it is expressed in her book.
From the Paper
"By recording such oral folklore, Hurston did not simply give dignity to her people, and garner a greater respect for African-American culture in America. She also introduced new idea to American historiography about what was considered a valid way of accessing the history of the past. She brought many of the techniques of anthropology to historical study and record. Hurston stressed that history was not simply what could be 'written,' history could also be found in the voices of ordinary men and women."

Business-to-Business Promotion Management, 2005.
This paper examines the management of business-to-business (B2B) promotions by reducing transactional costs and associated supply chain management requirements.
1,715 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 7 sources, APA, £ 37.95

Abstract
This paper explains that business-to-business (B2B) enterprises were characterized by business owners seeking more efficient methods of buying and selling their products and services to other similarly situated companies. Today, B2B companies recognize the constraints inherent in these approaches and are refining their supply chain management practices. The author points out that when products have both low demand and supply uncertainties, the basis of competition is efficiency. There are two dimensions of efficiency: Cost and the coordination of information. The paper relates that the ability to provide predictable demand patterns and a stable supply process will allow companies to improve their supply chain efficiencies so that the cost of providing the product to the customers is the lowest possible.

From the Paper
"As a result, supply chain management has emerged as one of the major areas for companies to gain a competitive edge. The supply chain refers to the linked set of resources and processes that begins with the sourcing of raw material and extends through the delivery of end items to the final customer. The supply chain includes vendors, manufacturing facilities, logistics providers, internal distribution centers, distributors, wholesalers and all other entities that lead up to final customer acceptance; however, the extended supply chain for a given company may also include secondary vendors to their immediate vendors, and the customers of their immediate customers."

Abstract
A report on B2B (Business - to - Business) models. Reviews the web sites of merisel.com, kellypaper.com and intellibusiness.com. Evaluates how these sites are set up for value-added suppliers and other business users. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on to the information technology train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling. In addition to simply sharing forecasts and products, successful B2Bs work jointly to provide greater supply chain services, and ultimately larger profits for all partners involved.
From the Paper
"Although business-to-business activities occur both offline and online, the acronym B2B has come to be known and described as the online version. There is much hype given to the potential size of B2B markets and how much bigger it may get than the online business-to-consumer (B2C) world. The gravy train that drives these expectations is the hopes that information technology (IT) will deliver an inflection point in productivity and economic growth. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on this gravy train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling.

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

Overview of Japanese Economy
Advantages to Doing Business in Japan
Disadvantages of Doing Business in Japan
Mistakes Often Made When Doing Business in Japan
Relationships in Japanese Business
Etiquette in Japanese Business
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Japanese market is well established, as opposed to the rapidly emerging markets of other Asian countries, such as China and India. Japan has a lengthy history of technology and product development and acquisition and is enjoying slow to moderate growth, with the end of a 12-year recession. Despite this recession, the Japanese economy is still larger, in real terms, than China. Add to this the benefit of a modern and comparatively legal system, financial markets, governance systems, patent laws, and a business code that is both highly ethical as well as predictable. China does not offer these benefits, in their economy. There is still much work to be done to China's legal and financial systems to be of similar value as Japan."

Abstract
This paper discusses the implementation of an IT project in a small business, noting that this is a comprehensive IT system in order to keep track of all in-store operations. According to this paper, these in-store operations include ordering and tracking supplies, keeping all employee records and generating data as needed, controlling payments at the register, gathering data on customers, and acting as a marketing tool by communicating with customers online and through the mail.
From the Paper
"We are in the process of implementing a comprehensive IT system in order to keep track of all in-store operations. The use of an Intranet system would be one way to achieve these goals in an efficient and effective manner. An Intranet would be able to connect the different computers and computer systems of the company together in order to provide up-to-date information as needed to every employee within the organization. The technology is familiar to many because it mirrors the world wide web."
