Figure 9-2 The Landscape of EC Strategy
Essentials of a Business Strategy (cont.)
Information technology (IT) strategy—strongly correlated with EC strategy because:
IT provides much of the infrastructure for EC EC applications must be integrated with IT applications EC applications may replace or improve existing IT applications EC organization may report to CIO Employees in IS department work on EC applications
Strategy Initiation
First step is to review the organization's business and IT vision and mission Then, a vision and mission for EC can be generated Although these statements are usually very vague, they provide a springboard for generating more specific goals and objectives Begin with industry and competitive analysis
Industry Analysis
Analyze position of the company in its industry and the competition Required for assessing the changes that EC project may introduce and its chances for success
Industry Assessment
What industry is the EC initiative related to? Who are the customers? What are the current practices of selling and buying? Who are the major competitors? (How intense is the competition?) What e-strategies are used, by whom? How is value added throughout the value chain? What are the major opportunities and threats? Are there any metrics or best practices in place? What are the existing and potential partnerships for EC?
Industry and Competitive Analysis
Monitoring, evaluating, disseminating of information from the external and internal environments SWOT Analysis
Strengths Opportunities Weaknesses Threats
Figure 9-4 SWOT Diagram
Strengths (S)
SO Strategies Generate strategies here that use strengths to take advantages of opportunities ST Strategies Generate strategies here that use strengths to avoid threats
Weaknesses (W)
WO Strategies Generate strategies here that take advantage of opportunities by overcoming weaknesses
Opportunities (O)
Threats (T)
WT Strategies Generate strategies here that minimize weaknesses and avoid threats
Strategy Formulation
Strategy formulation
Development of long-range plans
Organization's mission
Purpose or reason for the organization's existence

EC Critical Success Factors
Special products or services traded Top management support Project team representing various functional areas Appropriate technical infrastructure Must have customer acceptance User-friendly Web interface Integration with the corporate legacy systems
EC Critical Success Factors (cont.)
Security and control of the EC system Competition and market situation Conduct pilot project and capture corporate knowledge Use promotion and internal communication Cost of the EC project must be reasonable Need sufficient level of trust between buyers and sellers
EC Opportunities
3 common mistakes in allocating EC investment
Let a thousand flowers bloom—fund many projects indiscriminately Bet it all—put everything on a single high-stake initiative Trend-surf—follow the crowd toward the next "big thing"
All of the above can be risky and costly
EC Opportunities (cont.)
Approaches to finding individual EC initiatives
Problem-driven—attempt to solve a problem such as:
Excess inventory Delivery delays
Technology-driven—trying to use existing applications
Find problems no one knew existed Used by first movers
EC Opportunities (cont.)
Approaches to finding individual EC initiatives
All can fail Market-driven—waiting to see what the competitors will do Fear or greed-driven
Afraid if they do not practice EC they will be big losers Think they can make lots of money going into EC
Figure 9-5
Approaches for Finding EC Opportunities
Uncovering Specific EC Opportunities and Applications
How digital markets operate How Internet customers behave How competition is created and what infrastructure is needed What the dynamics of EC are
Map opportunities that match current competencies and markets
Many opportunities to create new products and services
Uncovering Specific EC Opportunities and Applications (cont.)
Opportunities for EC businesses
Matchmaking—matching buyers' needs from seller without a prior knowledge of either one Aggregation of services—combines several existing services to create a new service Bid/ask engine—creates a demand/supply floating pricing system Notification service—tells you when the service becomes available, or when it becomes cheaper
Uncovering Specific EC Opportunities and Applications (cont.)
Smart needs adviser—if you want …, then you should… Negotiation—price, quantity, or features are negotiated Up-sell—suggests an additional product or service Consultative adviser—provide tips on using the product
Value Analysis and Proposition
A Value Analysis Approach
Value chain—a series of activities a company performs to achieve its goal(s) Value added
Contributes to profit and enhances the asset value as well as the competitive position of the company in the market To create additional value using EC channels, a company should consider the competitive market and rivalry in order to best leverage its EC assets
(Customers' value proposition)
Value Analysis and Proposition (cont.)
Value Analysis Questions
Representative Questions for Clarifying Value Chain Statements
Can I realize significant margins by consolidating parts of the value chain to my customers? Can I create significant value for customers by reducing the number of entities they have to deal with in the value chain?
Value Analysis and Proposition (cont.)
Value Analysis Questions (cont.)
Representative question for creating new values
Can I offer additional information of transaction services to my existing customer base? Can I use my ability to attract customers to generate new sources of revenue, such as advertising or sales of complementary products?
Return on Investment (ROI)
Return on Investment and Risk Analysis
A ratio of resources required and benefits generated by an EC project Includes both quantifiable items (cost of resources, computed monetary savings) and Non-quantifiable items (intangibles) Some intangible benefits Effective marketing channel Increased sales Improved customer service
Return on Investment and Risk Analysis

E-business risks
Strategic risks (e.g., competitive environment, wrong strategic direction) Financial risks (e.g., currency management and changes, unclear tax situations) Operational risks (e.g., technological changes and use of poor technology, security)
EC Scenarios
Scenario planning is a methodology used in planning situations that involve much uncertainty, like that of EC ("what-if")
Several different scenarios are created A team compiles several future events as possible influences on the outcome Securities are assessed and future projections are made Scenarios are compared
EC Scenarios (cont.)
Four scenarios described by Hutchinson:
Open, global commerce scenario—removal of intermediaries flattens the value chain Members-only subnet scenario—applies mostly to B2B EC Electronic middlemen scenario—business and consumer market suppliers can make products/services available through independent third-party distribution channels
EC Scenarios (cont.)
4 scenarios described by Hutchinson (cont.)
Consumer marketing channels scenario— traditional methods collapse into a unified consumer-centric EC medium on the Internet
Broadcasting Advertising Consumer telephony
Strategic Planning Framework

Level 1: Basic presence—company uses the Internet to feature company information and provide brochures Level 2: Prospecting—features added
Search engine Extensive product information Links to services Ability to interact with the company Basic customer service
Strategic Planning Framework (cont.)
Level 3: Business integration—more features added
EC transaction capabilities Customization and personalization services Tools fostering creation of a community
Level 4: Business transformation—supplier and customer integration added
Multichannel integration Advanced customization and configuration Superb customer service

Generic Cooperative Strategies (cont.)
Joint Venture
A way to temporarily combine the different strengths of partners to achieve an outcome of value to both
Value-Chain Partnership
A strong and close alliance in which one company or unit forms a long-term arrangement with a key supplier or distributor for mutual advantage
Implementation EC Plan
Starts with organizing a project team Undertake a pilot project (help discover problems
Implementing EC
Redesigning existing business processes Back-end processes must be automated as much as possible Company must set up workflow applications by integrating EC into existing accounting and financial back-ends

Push technology services used to keep companies up-to-date by finding information for them
Searches should not replace in-depth background research Business intelligence companies offer packaged competitive analysis

Strategy and Project Assessment
Need for assessment
Find out if EC project delivers what it was supposed to deliver Adjust plans if necessary Determine if EC project is still viable Reassess initial strategy in order to learn from mistakes and improve future planning Identify failing projects as soon as possible and determine reasons for failure
Strategy and Project Assessment (cont.)
Measuring results; watch for:
Goals may be unrealistic
Web server was inadequate to handle demand Expected cost savings were now realized
Exploding application requests from various functional areas in the company may follow
Review requirements and design documents Develop thorough checklist Pose a set of questions to assess impact of EC project
Strategy and Project Assessment (cont.)
Finalization and adjustments
Actual ROI can be computed and compared to the projected one If sales expectations were not met, review marketing efforts Web assessment based on collected information

If you're thinking today's unusually hot for the middle of winter, you're not wrong.
A strong norwesterly flow over the country was pushing temperatures well above their normal July peaks.
Temperatures were in the high teens from Dunedin through to Blenheim in the South Island, with the mercury hitting 20.9 degrees in Christchurch and Timaru shortly before 2pm - one of the hottest July days on record for the latter city.
Temperatures were also in the high teens for the upper North Island, with 18.4 in Tauranga, 17.7 in Hamilton and 17.6 degrees in Auckland.
MetService forecaster Peter Little said the balmy temperatures were due to the "very, very strong" northwesterly flow over the country.
"There's a lot of moisture being dropped on the West Coast, and as the wind descends on the eastern side of the [Southern] Alps, it warms up."
Many parts of the country could expect the balmy weather to hang around until Sunday, when a southerly change would bring a cooler change, Little said.
NIWA preliminary data shows today was one of the warmest on record on the South Island's east coast.
At 2pm:
Christchurch - 22C at Kyle Street. The fourth warmest recorded in July for all Christchurch stations (the airport, Christchurch Gardens and the NIWA building in Riccarton).
Timaru - The MetService temperature from their website was 21.7C, its second-warmest July temperature of all-time. Records go back to 1885 there.
Oamaru - MetService registered 19.4C which is equal to seventh warmest all-time. The warmest July temperature recorded there is 20C.
Dunedin City (Musselburgh) - 18.8C is the fourth-highest July temperature on record since 1947 - 20C is the warmest.

Hello. There is still time to play along in the current challenge at Time Out. This week is a Home Sweet Home challenge, and we have this photo to inspire you.
I was inspired by the framed alphabet blocks on the left side of the photo. It reminded me of some subway sentiment stamps I have, so I pulled out PTI Sentiment Signs and made a get well card.
The flowers decorating this card are a nod to the floral pillow in the photo.
Thanks for Visiting

A helicopter was called upon to airlift the cameraman to dry land
A BBC cameraman has been airlifted from a cruise ship retracing the path of the Titanic in the Atlantic after he fell ill on board.
The MS Balmoral had to make a short detour in order to allow the patient, confirmed as 56-year-old Tim Rex, to be taken back to land.
It had sailed from Southampton on Sunday to embark on a 12-night journey to honour the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, which sank after colliding with an iceberg on its maiden voyage to New York.
Some 1,309 passengers are on board the MS Balmoral - the same number who were aboard the "unsinkable ship" in 1912.
During the journey Mr Rex became "seriously ill" and after consulting a doctor, a helicopter was called in to airlift him off the ship.
The situation shows how important it is to have
medical travel insurance for any trip. However, falling ill isn't the only unforeseen circumstance holidaymakers can encounter on board a ship, and they're advised to take out
cruise travel insurance before departing.
In a message on Twitter BBC presenter Jon Kay said: "We can confirm that the man taken off the Titanic cruise-ship by rescue helicopter tonight is a 56-yr-old BBC cameraman. Precautionary."

Google's latest Chrome beta adds speech recognition
Web Speech API open to developers
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Google's latest Chrome web browser beta release comes with support for voice input, it announced on Monday, along with a handful of other improvements.
Google announced the release on its blog, promoting the fact that the browser's new Web Speech API enables developers to add speech recognition to their apps. According to the firm, this is great for those who want to "control game characters using only voice" or who "want to have a freestyle rap battle".
"With the inclusion of the Web Speech API for developers, users can start enjoying new, interactive experiences with web apps," Google said.
"With this new Javascript API, developers can integrate speech recognition into their web apps. So, in the near future you'll be able to talk apps into doing all sorts of things."
That's not all that's new in Google's latest Chrome beta release. The latest version of the web browser will also automatically disable some extentions that have been added by third party programs to ensure that Chrome isn't being slowed down.
Google added, "The original intent was to give people an option to add useful extensions when installing applications, but unfortunately this feature has been widely abused by third parties who added extensions without user consent.
"A notification will appear with the option to re-enable the affected extensions."
Google's latest Chrome beta is available to download for free now. µ

I find K Perwick's recent letter disturbing.
Incredibly, she justifies her support for the deliberate genocide in our hospitals of our unborn as being good for the wellbeing of women.
When study is made of the Nazis' justification for killings in their death camps, you will sickeningly read similar justification.
Like her, the Nazis also presented extreme and rare unfortunate cases to justify their sending innocent lives into the gas chambers.
The reality is our most precious and vulnerable unborn (and many are females) are being deliberately and callously killed in our hospitals just to pamper to the deliberate choices made by informed self interested adults.
The reality is our unborn had no choice of who when or how they were conceived. Sadly all these real victims of abortion want is to be protected and loved by society until they are capable (as their adult parents were) of making informed choices themselves.

To iMac or not to iMac?
Feb 25, 2013
I am in the market for a new computer to use for photo editing have been back and forth on whether I should get an iMac. I am completely new to the iMac world and don't much about them. I've been down to my local Best Buy and had some hands on time. I liked what I saw. My neighbor who is in the web development biz has suggested I go with a PC. I'm so confused. I thought maybe someone here who has a Mac and has used one can tell me what they like best and why they went with a Mac. I have an opportunity to purchase a 2011 21.5" iMac that is less than 6 months old for $750. What do you think? Thanks in advance for your help.

…needs more Hello Kitty?
I was disappointed. I expected more kawaii.
No, it needs more Neon Genesis Evangelion! Or Video Girl Ai.
More important than the aesthetics (though the 'maximum security Ikea' look is sort of interesting), would seem to be details on the false-positive rate among the death row inmates and the accuracy of the hangmen: when done correctly, hanging is fairly quick. If you end up just dangling the person while they slowly suffocate, on the other hand…
I'm not sure that knowing they will die quickly is a lot of relief to someone who might stay on death row as long as 40 years, in solitary confinement, not having a clue of when they will be killed. Hiring accurate hangmen seems like it's minimizing just the smallest source of stress in the whole situation. Also, I think part of their discussion is indeed related to false-positives but also to trying to ban executions on moral grounds. Even assuming that we had 0 false-positives, we could always decide to execute inmates by throwing them into a volcano or something (should be fairly quick), but that doesn't mean that we should do it.
Hanging has a chance of decapitation – which is why we don't allow it – the slow death by strangle is just icing on the cake – if you get the rope measurement wrong you cut off a head and that's considered cruel.
The British Home Office had tables for the exact length of rope required in order to ensure a quick death but not risk decapitation, depending on the weight of the condemned. I have heard, though, that hangings in Japan are "short drop"- in other words, death is by suffocation as there's not enough of a drop to break the spine.
Incidentally, this is a model of the last execution chamber in Britain, at Wandsworth Prison in London- while the last hanging was in the mid 60s, the gallows here remained in working order (and were regularly tested) until 1994, as there were still a few capital crimes on the books (treason, piracy on the high seas, and certain military offences). The room is now used as a break room for prison guards!
What's stunning about it? It looks like a pretty average execution room to me. But I'm totally missing the Buddha statue. Are we looking at the same photo? http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/08/28/world/28tokyo-cnd/28tokyo-cnd-articleLarge.jpg
"pretty average execution room"
Banality of evil and all that.
I was reminded of Lucinda Devlin's series of photographs of execution chambers in the US, The Omega Suites.
It was even more stunning over a year ago when the article was first published, made it to the front page of Reddit, etc etc.
It's always new/news to someone.
I wish I could have seen this a year ago when it was more stunning. =o(
How's that work exactly, anyway?
"Either that wall paneling goes, or I do" "That paneling and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go."
Wow. The things we do to try to assuage our guilt over state-sanctioned murder. Pretty grim. And being held in a room that's 50 square feet, in solitary, for 5+ years? That's 5 feet by 10 feet. One foot wider and two feet longer than a sheet of plywood. About the size of a dog kennel. Roughly the size of the bathroom at a low-priced hotel. And no friends are allowed to visit – only relatives – so if you don't have close relatives I guess you're on your own. You can buy books and newspapers, although they don't specify how you get money. Since no contact is allowed with other prisoners, I wouldn't think it would be practical to allow inmates to work in the prison to earn money, so if you're broke when you go in, I guess you're just screwed. And all of this is "humane"?
I once spent a couple of weeks in the old prison in Pietermauritzburg, South Africa, which is now an Aids orphanage. Our team would meet up every morning to discuss the day in the room which used to be directly below an execution chamber like that one. You could still see the hatch in the ceiling and the square area directly underneath where they had a sandpit to catch any gore if the head came off.
Spitting image of the replica Oshima made for Death By Hanging (1968).
"Apart from Japan and the United States, the other countries in the world that carry out capital punishment are those accused of other grave human rights violations,". Wait what? USA has most definitely been accused of grave human rights violations.
This is from 2010.
So it's . . . wrong? I don't follow.

Sickels ranks Angels prospects
John Sickels ranks the Angels' prospects, putting the entire 2010 draft fairly low (Kaleb Cowart at No. 8, Taylor Lindsey at No. 20), Tyler Chatwood (No. 2) high, and Hank Conger (No. 7) as low as we're likely to see him ranked by anyone this offseason.
Although not in the elite category right now, this is a solid farm system, with one player I regard as a sure-fire star in Trout, then a large group of Grade B/borderline B+ types, and plenty of B-/C+ to round things out. There is a mixture of pitching and hitting, and players from a wide variety of backgrounds. They seem to like picking tools players early in the draft, then mix in some polished college types in the middle and later rounds.
I like Chatwood, Richards, and Martinez-Mesa a lot, but all three have a question of some kind that needs to be answered this year. All three could be B+ prospects a year from now, maybe even A- if everything works out correctly. There is plenty of raw material to build a bullpen out of as well.
Trout is terrific, a good example of what you get when a tools player develops properly. If they can get Grichuk and Clarke to control the strike zone at higher levels, the outfield of the future will be excellent.
Full list here, and here's Sickels' rankings for 2010, and 2009.

SEATTLE, June 19 Microsoft Corp recently talked with Nokia about buying the Finnish phone maker's devices unit, but the discussions faltered and are not likely to be revived, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday in its online edition.
The Journal reported that "advanced discussions" on a deal happened as recently as this month, according to unnamed sources it said were familiar with the matter. Microsoft rejected a deal because of price and Nokia's loss of market share to rising Asian competitors, the report said.
Representatives of both companies declined comment.
Nokia's smartphones exclusively use Microsoft Windows Phone software, under a deal the two companies struck two years ago.

Glaciations in North and South America from the Miocene to the Last Glacial Maximum
Comparisons, Linkages and Uncertainties
SpringerBriefs in Earth System SciencesImproved dating methods have increased our ability to more precisely determine the timing and durations of glaciations. Utilizing glacial and loess deposits, we have compared glaciations that occurred in North and South America in order to determine if events are synchronous or not, to explore forcing mechanisms, and to compare glaciations with cold periods of the Marine Oxygen Isotope stages and

The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of DeforestationFor decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these "pristine" ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity.

How Improbable Journeys Shaped the History of LifeHow did species wind up where they are today? Scientists have long conjectured that plants and animals dispersed throughout the world by drifting on large landmasses as they broke up, but in The Monkey's Voyage, biologist Alan de Queiroz offers a radical new theory that displaces this passive view. He describes how species as diverse as monkeys, baobab trees, and burrowing lizards made incredible

It may not have it due to differences in the hybrid vs. gas engine design, and to different weight distribution because of the batteries in the hybrid.
This vehicle was made as cheaply as possible due to the cost of the hybrid system (borrowed from Toyota). I have issues with noise and the lack of a few normal features normally found on Mercury vehicles. The cheap radio antenna for one as well as other plastic parts on the interior of the car. I change the horn from single tone to dual tone and upgraded the headlight bulbs to higher power, whiter color. Good luck.

Each hike features full-color photos; a brief route description; thorough directions to the trailhead (GPS coordinates included); a detailed, full-color trail map; and at-a-glance information on distance and difficulty level, hiking time, canine compatibility, and fees and permits. Inside you'll also find a Trail Finder that categorizes each hike (e.g., for attractions such as views, and if it's suitable for families with kids); Green Tips; and information about local lore, points of interest, and the area's wildlife.

We have lived on the north shore of Chicago for 30 years and driven by many of the hiking locations but never stopped to enjoy them. We have a lab named Murphy and wanted some information about new adventures we could have with him. This book lays out lovely hiking spots many of which are within a half hours drive of our home. We are able to check before we leave the house to see if the location allows dogs. That is a big help. The individual descriptions of the trails is also very helpful. As members of the nearly retired generation we are not looking for difficult hikes but of course this is Illinois so the topography is quite gentle. Never-the-less we were very pleased to find some elevations changes on our first hiking adventure. The trail was exactly as described in the book and so we were prepared...
I would recommend this book to dog owners...for sure.

Bullock leads slate to win Oak Park park board seats
By Megan Dooley
Click here to see the results.
Park District Board of Oak Park incumbent Jessica Bullock won reelection to a second term on the board Tuesday night, and newcomers Paul Aeschleman and Victor Guarino also came out winners. The trio came out on top from the beginning of the night and held onto the lead as votes flooded in throughout the evening.
Though the trio did not run as a slate, their platforms included similar priorities for the park district, and they shared the green campaign signs visible around town. The three candidates gathered to watch results come in at Guarino's home and celebrated their victory together.
Guarino said he was delighted with the number of people who came forward to help him in the election. "It's a very humbling thing to run for office," he said. "I'm very happy, very thankful for all the support."
Guarino added that he's happy with the turnout, calling Bullock and Aeschleman "quality people" who have a lot to offer to the park district board. Bullock said she's happy to have retained her seat.
"I'm excited that we've gotten a positive response and I'm looking forward to serving for the next four years," she said, adding that she looks forward to working with her fellow winners, and admires their past work on various commissions.
Aeschleman said he's thankful for the support shown by the community, and is eager to move forward on issues before the park district board. As for working with his fellow winners throughout the election, Aeschleman hopes that the same level of cooperation continues on the board.
"It's great to...have the community select us as stewards of their parks," he said.

I'll bet it won't be long before the park district board is asking voters to appove a tax increase. It'll pass, just like last time and taxes will continue to make Oak Park unaffordable.

I am very happy with the turnout of this election. Oak Park is the kind of community where those who live here have a direct say in what happens.
