...CASE C – M-COMMERCE: THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Q1 - What is the 8 seconds rule of Internet and why is it so important for m-commerce technology? The 8-second rule is an old rule of the Internet; it is the rough unit of measure of the performance of a web server. This rule was implemented when Internet was taking its first steps. It indeed specified that if the loading time of a web page exceeded eight seconds, Internet users would not wait any longer. Yet the fact remains that this rule no longer applies as a much higher percentage of Internet users have reliable Internet connections, which allow them to upload almost all websites in less than a second. M-commerce is the ability to conduct a transaction while using a mobile device. There are two frequent types of usage of the m-commerce, a mobile user can buy something online from his mobile web connection, or he can use his mobile device as a way of physical payment in a shop (which thus replaces money, checks or credit card). There rules are truly fondamentals when talking about making m-commerce technology a reality: reliability, security and speed. In fact speed is a critical need for the development of m-commerce, one will not use its mobile phone to pay for something if it takes longer than using a regular money payment. Furthermore, todayeveryone expect us to be very fast, and we live much faster than former generations used to, and this has only been possible through technological improvement. This boils down...

...Running Header: Mobile Commerce Mobile Commerce Management Information System December 3rd, 2013 Abstract The popularity of m-commerce devices, especially mobile phones among consumers high-lighted a new source of revenue for businesses. An industry review in mobile commerce found a variety of current trends and business models that will affect future strategic uses from a project management perspective. This paper explores m-commerce technology from a business perspective; how it is similar and differs from e-commerce technically; and tries identifying and exploring potential strategic uses for this new technology. Introduction The Global Mobile Commerce Forum, which came to include over 100 organisations, had its launch in London on 10 November 1997 and Kevin Duffey was elected as the Executive Chairman. Over 100 companies joined the mobile commerce forum within a year, many forming mobile commerce teams of their own, e.g. Mastercard and Motorola. Of these one hundred companies, the first two were Logica and Cellnet. Member organizations’ such as Nokia, Apple, Alcatel, and Vodafone began a series of trials and collaborations. Mobile commerce services were first delivered in 1997, when the first two mobile-phone enabled Coca Cola vending machines were installed in the Helsinki area in Finland. The machines accepted payment via SMS text messages. The first mobile phone-based banking service was launched in 1997 by Merita Bank of Finland, also using SMS. It is increasingly...

The e-commerce division entry elements report contains critical factors pertaining to selling, controlling and managing the online business presence. The elements are not comprehensive of all aspects of planning a new line of business. The findings here are a summarization of necessary building blocks to a successful expansion. An effective website design is the most elementary, imperative piece of the expansion. The website is the company’s image, reliability, salesman, quality and storefront. The company can fail at other components but this one. Reputation management is the control of the company brand and standing. Internally controlled systems allow for customization of that direction but a multichannel approach will achieve higher satisfaction results if including third party handlers. The impact to brick-and-mortar operations contains a reduction in sales volume. However, the value to the company of the enlarged market, expected revenue gain and scalability is high and manageable. The recommendation...

...leadership – providing a continuity of management and thought that has been expanded throughout the company. Embracing these core values and business practices has contributed to their consistent growth. The company’s past success and future possibilities will be discussed in the following pages. Smucker’s in 2011: Expanding the Business Lineup Organizational Background: The family owned company was founded by J.M. Smucker in 1897. In the beginning, Smucker’s produced apple cider and apple butter – it was locally distributed in Ohio by way of the Smucker family’s wagon. By the time the company was incorporated, in 1921, Smucker’s popularity had pushed the company to extend their product line to offer a wide variety of jams, jellies, and preserves. By the time the Great Depression hit America in the late 1920’s, Smucker’s expanded their Ohio-based business to include both Pennsylvania and Indiana. After the depression, they opened a new manufacturing plant in Washington. This enabled the company to distribute its products nationally. The Smucker’s company was able to survive economic struggles brought on by World War II and, in 1947, celebrated their 50th anniversary. In the late 1950’s, J.M. Smucker’s sons, Paul and Willard, began to lay-out a plan for the company’s future growth and diversification. Their strategy focused on increasing vertical integration, product diversification, acquisition, and national advertising and...

...me-Commerce: An Infrastructure for Personal Predictive Mobile Commerce Andreas Komninos, Peter Barrie, Julian Newman, Stuart Landsburgh Department of Computer Science Glasgow Caledonian University Glasgow, UK [ako2, pba4, jne,slands10]@gcal.ac.uk Abstract Given mobile phone penetration statistics and current mobile phone technical specifications, it is apparent that in developed countries, the majority of citizens carry not just mobile phones, but true mobile computing devices. These devices are still primarily used for telephony, although information access is slowly emerging as a popular service on these devices. Despite the availability of network connectivity and device characteristics that make Information Access possible, this is currently generally confined to accessing the WWW. While useful, this method is not the best way of providing information access to mobile devices. This paper discusses current research in the use of mobile services and proceeds by presenting a background on an infrastructure for a focused information access application for mobile commerce. Through this background, we discuss the need for embedding multi-dimensional context awareness into the design of applications that provide dedicated, targeted and personalised information access to users, and describe the dimensional vectors necessary for the acquisition of contextual information. Further to this, the paper highlights the challenges that must be overcome in obtaining contextual information...
