[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the Internet's contribution to the success of small business in the international market. Early hopes of Internet-based commerce have not proven themselves to be the route that such commerce was expected to take, but the growth of the Internet and its associated technology have become the lifeblood of many tiny businesses that otherwise would have remained tabletop businesses with only local influence. The most successful Internet ventures have been weighted to the advantage of products over services, but each has seen growth. The advent of the secure electronic transaction has relieved the fears of many who formerly were would-be purchasers that have now joined the growing numbers of consumers and businesses taking advantage of the opportunities of the Internet.

Two Approaches to Discrimination
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing discrimination in the marketing context. There are no social issues at work here, aside from the empirical research that has gone into determining the best approaches to gauging consumer discrimination. Some have claimed that segmentation has gone too far at the expense of synchrony, but there appears to be little empirical research to support those claims. Current research still concludes in favor of the segmented market approach, but there are indications that a broader approach may regain favor in the future. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

"The End of Marketing"/ Sergio Zyman
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page summation and analysis of Sergio Zyman's book The End of Marketing As We Know It. The writer explores how expert marketer Sergio Zyman targets the current "sacred cows" of marketing, a strategy that –considering the veneration that many of these concepts receive—is rather like pointing out that the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes. Zyman asserts that marketers have become so entranced by the process that they've lost sight of the goal—to sell stuff. The writer also includes a brief comparison to Levitt's Marketing Imagination. No additional sources cited.
