The rapid developments in information, communication, and transportation have led to an increase in competition between enterprises. As a result, entrepreneurs striving to survive in the global competition have begun to invest in “digital” competition, which differs from traditional entrepreneurship as it does not require large amounts of capital for its establishment. It enables entrepreneurship to operate all around the world with the internet. This chapter focuses on the differences between digital and traditional enterprises, emphasizing the importance of digital enterprises. According to this purpose, the study employed SWOT analysis to identify Turkish digital enterprises' strengths and weaknesses in relation to the corresponding opportunities and threats.

The world of the Internet is so big that the more you learn about the Internet, the less. Due to Internet, our life has become a lot easier. You may not even think that today you can get the exam results online with the help of the Internet, connect with friends online, earn money online from the internet, and still do much more online. But nowadays the most popular is online shopping. Because of online shopping we can buy anything from home. And the same thing we bought comes to the address we have provided. We don't have to go anywhere. Online shopping is convenient, and consumers also have a wider range of choice. But people need to understand that no company or trader can afford to hurt you by giving you cheap or free. So instead of being tempted to buy from free and discount schemes, it is important to consider such websites and their 'non-refundable' policy and the complicated and lengthy process of returning items. Nowadays everyone recommends shopping online because of their busy and fast life. The more convenient it is, the more troubles can arise.

The generation currently in secondary schools has never known the world without the Internet, has spent thousands of hours each year interacting with video games and social media, and has high expectations for the degree of control and choices they will have regarding employment, entertainment, and the education they receive.The employers of our future graduates have undergone - and will continue to undergo - profound changes in consumer behavior and technology-based marketing and value creation, while simultaneously facing intense global competition, rapid technological advances, and dynamic markets. Employer demands for increasingly flexible, self-motivated, collaborative, communicative, creative, energetic, technology savvy employees will continue to rise. These conditions are fundamentally changing consumer and employer expectations of education and driving the need for ever greater relevance, personalization, flexibility, mobility, and meaningful and relevant outcomes. In many respects, we must work toward and plan for an evolving target and, as such, we should work to create dynamic contexts as well as learning what can change and be modified as needed.

Global competition in the world of business today and in the future is inevitable. Whether it is liked or not, ready or not, the competition must be faced. There are diference attitudes in facing this situation. Countries which are ready will see it as an opportunity, but it is not always be the same for the developing or poor countries. The increasing of global competition is very widely supported by the development of technology, especially information technology. In this case the Internet occupies the most important part that relies on speed. Although there are many important things in the course of the competition, including the technology, human resources are something very decisive, the determinant key to be actively involved and to win the competition. Therefore, the model of human resource development should be more advanced than before. In this case, the role of Human Resources Management (HRM) is crucial. This section (HRM) should be able to play role to maximize productivity, ensure the quality of employment, and ultimately generates profits through proper management of human resources within the company.

This chapter presents a comprehensive model for optimal electronic commerce strategy and extends the relatively novel Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach to solving quantitative and qualitative complex decisions in electronic commerce strategy. A systematic framework for the identification, classification and evaluation of electronic commerce (e-commerce) strategy using the Internet as an information, communication, distribution, or transaction channel that is interdependent with generic business strategies is proposed. The proposed methodology could help researchers and practitioners understand the relation between the benefits organizations seek from an information technology and the strategies they attempt to accomplish with the technology. As companies all over the world come out of restructuring, downsizing and business process re-engineering, many are realizing that in order to achieve a competitive edge they must formulate and implement strategies based on innovation and development of e-commerce. This chapter identifies and analyzes the methodology for synergistic integration of business and Internet domain strategies.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

Media Preferences

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.

Security Concern

As IT sector is ruling the world now,confidentiality and security of information has become the most important inseparable aspect in information communication system. Keeping in view the same, a new approach called Visual Cryptography (VC) has been suggested by many researchers but there are some limitations with this scheme and cheating is one of the main problem among them. This paper intends to show the basis of cheating in VC in terms of cheating process, its detection methods and its prevention methods suggested by various researchers along with their merits and demerits. Finally, a good Cheating Immune Visual Cryptography Scheme (CIVCS) has been discussed which states the properties to be adopted by every Visual Cryptography scheme to make it immune to cheating attacks.
