Dell Computer's E-Commerce Strategy
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper discussing Dell's direct distribution business model. The fact that Apple's Steve Jobs keeps a picture of Michael Dell in his office with a bullseye painted on it can have no effect on Dell Computer aside from a good long chuckle, but Dell can count on increased direct sales competition as the market tightens further and other manufacturers envy Dell's great success. The company's alliance with IBM enables that competitor to share in Dell's success without damaging future growth and without causing IBM dealers to be angered or uneasy over possible lost sales for them. Gateway and Compaq have no such luxury, however, and will need to develop their own strategies for trying to keep pace with Dell's growth. The company is averaging $14 million in daily sales through its website an increase of $5 million daily in only a year. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Digital Rights Management
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing the present state of development of this technology. Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a proactive approach to protecting intellectual property that exists in digital – i.e., downloadable – form.

The entertainment and software industries particularly have been adversely affected by individuals’ abilities to appropriate content for their own use (or worse, for sale to others) without paying developers or providers for the benefit they receive from the products. DRM is an emerging technology that seeks to rectify that situation, at least in part. The paper discusses Intuit’s use of DRM protection in TurboTax® and Microsoft’s proposed Palladium product.
