Appendix A
From the Paper
"Gripping Stuff Entertainment (GSE) is an entertainment service provider specialising in movie rentals. Traditionally distribution of videos and DVDs was accomplished via the GSE stores from which they were rented. Senior management has recently decided to migrate from the traditional distribution system to an online version in order to reduce costs resulting from physical storefront rentals and maintenance and also in order expand the customer base. A very real risk is that existing customers will be drawn over to competing home entertainment providers while GSE implements this migration. In order to mitigate this risk and also to increase general customer loyalty to the GSE brand, a loyalty programme will be launched and integrated with the new internet distribution channel. Offering loyalty incentives to those customers who choose to utilise the internet mode of distribution will increase internet sales penetration of the market while increasing overall loyalty to GSE."

Abstract
This paper explains that a supply chain covers all aspects of component and service production. The author points out that eBusiness has helped supply chain management through the automation of tasks, which leads to reduced costs for all companies, increased efficiency and added timeliness of component supply. The paper relates that the movie rental industry has been remarkably slow to adopt eBusiness strategies especially when considering that the industry product is technology based. The author states that a rudimentary and fragmented evolution of the supply chain in this industry has created a patchwork of delivery methods to the end user. The paper reports that, in 1998, Netflix revolutionizes the industry with the first online DVD rental service, which allowed the company to eliminate the liability of retail space expense and customer queues.

From the Paper
"Utilizing automated ordering helps reduce costs for all the companies in the supply chain as companies do not have to devote human resources to performing those tasks of placing, receiving and processing orders and processing invoices and payments. Another benefit of eBusiness websites is that companies can monitor their orders to see what stage it is at and track the delivery through websites such as Fedex.com or UPS.com which are two shipping websites that offer delivery tracking."

Canada, Movies and Migration, 2007.
A critical analysis of two movies on migration: "Who Gets In?" and "Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad".
1,302 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 62.95

Abstract
The paper discusses how the two films "Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad" and "Who Gets In?" present distinct views on issues of migration and oppression from the perspective of the Canadian context. The paper reviews both works with respect to their presentation, their major themes and an evaluation of their respective effectiveness. The paper argues that "Freedom's Land" is notably lacking in critical focus on its major themes relating to Canada's historical role of receiving slaves. In contrast, the paper asserts that "Who Gets In?" is more effective and powerful, due to its close critical focus on its major themes of bureaucracy and selectivity.
From the Paper
"Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad is a production of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that attempts to depict the history of Canada's involvement in the Underground Railroad that, in the 19th century, assisted many African American slaves in escaping from the oppression in the slave states of the American south. The film is structured in cohesive sections, beginning with a general depiction of the institution of slavery, and then progressing through to Canada's role as a refuge for slaves fleeing the United States, and featuring as a core element a lengthy depiction of the failed "rebellion" of John Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry that was a major event during the period leading up to the American Civil War."

Conclusion
Appendix A
From the Paper
"Home Accessories International (HAI) is a provider of various accessories to the home. Traditionally distribution of goods has been performed via a network of specialised distributors across Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Senior management has recently decided to migrate an existing product line, windowsill protectors, to an online distribution system (e-tailing) in order to reduce the costs involved in relying on agents to market the goods to retail customers. This will be a test case which will be closely observed by other divisions of HAI. If successful, implementation will be extended throughout the company. E-tailing is unlikely to attract new customers in the first instance and this is not the aim of the project. Management will be satisfied to maintain the existing customer base during the first year of online operation."

China's Migration, 2005.
This paper discusses China's inward migration to international migration in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 9 sources, AU$ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that inward and international migrations are very close in their motivations for Chinese citizens to seek employment for better economic conditions. The writer discusses that by the massive influx of rural workers coming into China's big cities, there is an obvious demand for workers that will become the new Chinese urban working classes. The writer points out that essentially, China has become a growing power that has released its tight grip on insular Communist policy in global economies, making it possible for an industrial complex to be created outside of the mostly rural farming classes of the 20th century.
From the Paper
"This migration study examines the inward and international aspects of migration that have been steadily growing over the past one hundred years and into modern times. By realizing the differing aspects of economic issues, which have caused many Chinese to migrate internationally, the inward migratory patterns in Chinese society are equally progressive. In seeking greater wealth in foreign lands due to lack of jobs and economic opportunity, International migration often portends a lesser trend in migration in China, and ultimately, inward migration has become a rising trend due to labor and economic values in modern rural China."

Abstract
This paper examines how neoplastic cells have a wide range of mechanisms available to them in the process of metastasis and invasion and how such techniques include both individual cell movement and collective cell migration strategies. It also looks at how the ability for cancer cells to modify their migration mechanisms has resulted in a significant decrease in efficacy of anti cancer therapeutics designed against target adhesion receptors and proteases.

From the Paper
"The cell migration is a universal process in metastasis which involves many different mechanisms depending upon tissue environments and cell types. Broadly these cell movement patterns may be classified as single cell migration - amoeboid and mesenchymal - or collective migration - cell strands, sheets and clusters. A number of key molecular determinants are associated with cell movement strategies, such as the specific structure of the actin cytoskeleton (Cramer, 1999), the expression of integrins, matrix metalloproteinases and serine proteases (matrix-degrading enzymes) (Friedl, 2000), cadherins and activated leukocyte adhesion molecules (cell to cell adhesion molecules) and cytoskeleton signaling performed by RHO GTPases (Somlyo, 2003). There can be major changes to the mechanism of metastasis in response to the changing pattern of these specific molecular signals."

Distribution, 2008.
A discussion on whether the LeapFrog company should sell its products through Wal-Mart's distribution network, exploring both the pros and cons of such a strategy.

Abstract
The paper discusses whether the company LeapFrog should choose to sell or not to sell through Wal-Mart. The paper refers to the advantages of Wal-Mart's massive distribution network on the one hand and the disadvantages of the rapid over-distribution of a manufacturers' products on the other. The paper states that, while selling to Wal-Mart does generate exponential growth in unit sales, over-distribution of products and the price erosion that Wal-Mart tends to force on suppliers over time are two critical reasons not to sell to Wal-Mart. The paper discusses the marketing strategic plans utilized by Wal-Mart and concludes that LeapFrog needs to build out its own multi-channel selling strategy versus selling through Wal-Mart.

Evaluating Distribution Strategies in the Context of Pricing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Wal-Mart's purchasing economies of scale and focus on supply chain efficiencies, which are briefly described in this paper, all contribute to their ability to price toys below to wholesale price to other retailers. The flattening of pricing elasticities of new toy products greatly impacts the profitability of toy manufacturers themselves. Taking a loss-leader pricing approach to selling toys also forces other retailers either out of business altogether, or into significantly minimized operations."

In the coastal town of Southport Supply can barely meet demand as over the past two years those wanting to buy vacation homes on the coast has increased 30%. Stated is: "The market has just gone crazy...everyone wants to have a second home on the beach." (Rives, 2006) The work entitled: "Vacation Rentals: Right for You?" states that of the homes purchased in 2006, 30 percent of these were vacation homes. The advantage of renting a backhouse instead of a hotel room is that the vacationer has more space for less money. A 2002 industry report of recreational goods rental states that in 2002 there were 1,812 establishment with a revenue of 560.501 million. "

Chinese Migration to New Zealand, 2005.
This paper examines governmental and university studies to evaluate the characteristics of the recent Chinese migration to New Zealand as compared to the earlier Chinese migration.
1,995 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 91.95

Abstract
This paper explains that changes in the immigration laws of New Zealand has resulted in changes in the characteristics of recent Chinese immigrants, who are now stereotypically considered to be very wealthy with ready cash, coming mainly from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore rather that the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) itself as past Chinese migrants did. The author points out that the research indicated that this was not true; they do not exhibit the wealth ascribed to these new Chinese immigrants by the media; indeed they are rather young, highly qualified and usually experienced professionals coming predominantly from large urban centers. The paper relates that the new skilled arrivals studied are very different from earlier Chinese migrants not only in their educational and employment backgrounds but also in their points of origin in China; the new migrants are from predominantly urbanized and Mandarin or Wu - Shanghai/Yangtze Delta - dialect speaking areas, which do not fit the traditionally rural, predominantly Yue/Cantonese speaking linguistic profile of earlier Chinese immigrants to New Zealand.

From the Paper
"The minimum English proficiency levels required of the General Category arrivals were generally somewhat lower than those that would be required of later post-October 1995 General Skills Applicants. However, in the course of completing their degrees most Principal Applicants would have had to study English as a support subject for two years and most likely read some material in English. While their English language skills did not match their technical skills, English levels reached during two years of compulsory university English language study within a science-oriented undergraduate degree would generally be considered adequate to meet the minimum level of English required."

"Of Mice and Men" - The Movie, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the two movie versions of John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck has two movies based on it. This paper examines how these two movies have two slightly different interpretations on how the story should be depending on the specific year that it was made. One movie was made in the year 1939 while the other movie was made in the year 1992. It looks at how although these two movies share the same title as the original novel, both of them have to some extent, different perspectives on the opening sequence, elements of humor, character portrayal, the time the movies were made for and metaphors.
From the Paper
"For the 1939 version, there was less violence, subtle use of swear words and indirect language. Viewers in the 1930s lived in the era of the Great Depression that was occurring throughout the world at that time. Many people did not want to be reminded of the hardships all around them. And because of this, violence was not portrayed directly in the movie. The actors involved in a violent scene will practice 'self-censorship' in which they will cover-up their violent acts: George covering his gun with a handkerchief before shooting Lennie or the camera will not focus directly on the event: Curley's wife's neck being broken by Lennie."

Abstract
This paper explores movie remakes and questions whether the film industry uses its assets efficiently or wastes the audience's, as well as the film industry's, time and money by rehashing socially irrelevant characters and worn out plots. When a movie company produces a film, they have a tangible asset by owning the rights to that particular movie to do with as they please. The writer of this paper asserts that while the original movie may have been good in its time, it may not always stand the test of time when producers remake the film in an attempt to spark a renewed interest in it. This paper focuses on two films, "Shaft" and "Planet of the Apes," both socially controversial films from 1968 and compares them to their remakes in 2001.
From the Paper
"The 1960s was a time of racial turmoil. After nearly 250 years of oppression, blacks had finally won equal rights with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Gone were the Jim Crow laws and other attempts to legally separate people according to race. However, simply making a law did not automatically erase the social confines that surrounded the issue of racial differences. Blacks and Whites had been legally separated for many years. Their origins were two different perspectives and ancestries. Even though blacks could no longer be discriminated against according to the law, this did not mean that they automatically gave up their own unique styles and culture."

Abstract
The paper looks at the black migration, during the early 20th century, from the poorer regions of the South towards the more advanced ones in the North. The paper explains this migration in light of the background of that historical period and the changing conditions that intervened at the beginning and during the First World War. The paper examines the consequences of this migration and notes positive and negative effects on the black population. The paper concludes that the black migration north represented an essential event in the shaping of the culture of the US.
From the Paper
"The society at the beginning of the 20th century was largely influenced by the existence of racism, which determined the orientation of the social attitude based on segregation behavior. The Jim Crows laws played a major role in institutionalizing this tendency . The moment of their enactment represented in fact the official and legal recognition of the segregation practice. These laws "enforced racial segregation in the South between the end of the formal Reconstruction period in 1877 and the beginning of a strong civil rights movement in the 1950s" . however, until the emergence of the Emancipation movement and the Civil Rights quest, black people were constantly subjected to discriminatory treatment."

Legal Migration from Mexico, 2005.
A discussion of the pros and cons of allowing legal migration from Mexico into the United States.
1,654 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 77.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of legal migration. Specifically, it discusses the benefits of allowing legal migration from Mexico to the U.S. and the damaging effects of not allowing legal migration. In addition, it analyzes the problems and dangers that have come from the increased border patrols. Allowing more legal migration from Mexico into the United States is a controversial issue that has been addressed by many, but never acted upon. The writer points out that the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico into the U.S. takes its toll in many forms; allowing more legal immigrants to enter the U.S. would solve many problems, including death in the deserts, smugglers trafficking in human lives, and reuniting families separated by time and borders. It argues that legal immigration from Mexico must be addressed and increased for the benefit of so many Mexican citizens who want to better their lives.
From the Paper
"The history of legal and illegal immigration into the country from Mexico has not always been fraught with problems. In the 1940s, the "bracero" program allowed Mexican farm workers to immigrate to the United States to work primarily in the farmlands of California and Texas. The program was temporary, and allowed workers to come into the country because of a labor shortage in the US caused by World War II. It continued rather sporadically until 1964, when the US ended the program, feeling it artificially lowered the wages for American farm workers. When the program ended, the Border Patrol, the enforcement division of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), (now called the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, USCIS), apprehended perhaps 42,000 illegal workers attempting to enter the country along the Mexican border. By 1974, that number had skyrocketed to at least 710,000 illegal immigrants apprehended attempting to enter the country, and in 1986, the peak year, 1.7 million people were apprehended. Today, at least 1,000,000 workers are apprehended each year (Borjas and Fisher 626). In 1986, President Reagan and the Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), a form of amnesty that allowed many illegal aliens already in the country to remain in the country legally. It also created many sanctions against employers who hire illegal aliens."

Abstract
This paper looks at how international labour migration from Poland to Western Europe has proved to be an effective strategy in overcoming some of the multiple problems of transformation after the communist system collapsed. It argues that Poles generally have access only to the secondary sector of labour economy. It also examines how bilateral intergovernmental agreements, official statistical data and survey results suggest that the labour flows to the primary labour markets are limited due to the structural constraints of European economies as well as migration policies and regulations of receiving societies.

From the Paper
"The complexity and diversification of international migration has resulted in the fact that there is no single theory or model which would be able to explain the phenomenon of migration satisfactorily and to capture dynamics of the process and conditions related to its various phases. However, different models were adopted in the attempt to reveal and predict various specific aspects associated with it. Among the most important theories which aim to explain causes of international migration, its development, and why it tends to sustain, are the neo-classical economics, the new economics of migration, segmented labour market theory, world system theory, social capital theory, and cumulative causation. The latter models accentuate different aspects of this phenomenon."
