At the Office in Pajamas -- The Working World of the 21st Century
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report discusses the new realm of “virtual reality” and the new world that has come into existence in terms of the ways in which modern human beings communicate, connect, and work. Advanced technology allows workers in virtually (pun intended)all disciplines to work at home at any time of day or night. It is the perfect domain for workaholics, night owls, people who are caregivers for young children or elderly parents, and even for those who just hate having to “punch in” at a certain time in a certain place, day in and day out. While there are those who worry that such a new system of work will serve to alienate people from one another and keep them from the social interaction of the workplace, the truth is that technology has the potential to free people from the constraints of corporate 9-to-5 lives. In fact, the autonomy such work arrangements provide often allow a person to more fully focus on their lives rather than behaving as if they were running on a continual treadmill. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Challenges to E commerce in Hong Kong
[ send me this paper ]
This 59 page paper considers the challenges faced by e-commerce and internet trading to businesses in Hong Kong. E-commerce is now a popular way of trading. For a country such as Hong Kong where international trade is required to sustain the economy and services are the primary sector due to the lack of local natural resources, e-commerce must be considered as a way if increasing business for both small and large companies as well as the benefits that it can bring to the economy as a whole. All projections indicate that e-commerce levels will increase rapidly over the next few years. This is an opportunity many business in Hong Kong can take advantage of with the advantage of the support form their Chinese government but the benefits of an autonomous region within that country. However, to take advantage of the potential in e-commerce businesses and government needs to realise the advantages and challenges. The potential decease of barriers and lower overheads may be balanced by the potential increase in competition, problems such as disintermediation, security and the lack of existing business models to follow. The research outline, which follows a lengthy literature review, suggests some primary research looking at specific businesses, to develop a model which can then be followed by new entrants and help those who are already in the sector. This will increase value by enabling resources to be maximised, benefiting both businesses and their customers as well as the Hong Kong economy. The bibliography cites 34 sources.
