Abstract
This paper proposes a dissertation that will examine transgender employee performance. The primary research questions addressed are "What effects does transition have on transgender employee performance" and "How well do companies work with transgender employees to bolster performance and create a culturally acceptable climate, one that works to support transgender employees and works to help foster acceptance and tolerance?". The paper also describes the independent and dependent variables of the proposed study, the correlational aspects and the literature reviewed, in addition to the secondary questions that the research addresses.
Outline:
Variables And Constructs In Prior Research
Variables In Proposed Dissertation
Quality Of Measures In Prior Research
Actions To Support Quality Of Measures In Proposed Dissertation
From the Paper
"The researcher expects the results of this proposed dissertation will fill a void present in current literature that outlines how well transgender employees assimilate regardless of their transition status, and help organizations learn how to develop independent tools for creating a culturally diverse environment, one that is more likely to be accepting of transgender employees regardless of their status. Because much of this research relates to the internal emotions, feelings and perceptions of transgender employees, it is necessary for the researcher to identify the emotions, feelings and self perceptions of transgender employees before and after transition for the proposed study. This information may be gathered through electronic or hand-delivered anonymous self-report questionnaires provided to study participants. Because of the sensitivity and nature of the proposed research subject, it is important the researcher fully inform participants of the goal and objectives of the study, the variables intended for study and for the researcher to provide study participants access to the results of the study on request. Matters of consent will be handled through NDA and confidentiality agreements with participant's assigned numbers rather than names to identify their status for purposes of data collection."

Abstract
The paper states that the valuation of priceless historical and cultural artifacts is not a process guided by specific rules or regulations and in fact is an unstructured and unpredictable process based on various methods and techniques. The paper comments that this results in a comparable analysis technique, with each valuation process being somewhat different from those previously conducted. The paper discusses the valuation of historical cultural artifacts that are from cultures for which there have been no previous market sales. The paper progresses through the three traditional valuation techniques including comparable market value, asset value, and the income method.
Outline:
Objective
Introduction
Traditional Means Of Valuation
Means Of Valuation Of Ancient Cultural Items
Summary And Conclusion
From the Paper
"It has been clearly demonstrated in the research that valuation of antiquities has no sure and constant form due to the nature of collecting antiquities and all the questions and concerns that may arise as to the origination of the art objects. Due to the demand for such works of art, looting of archaeological sites and museums has occurred and while rules and regulations have been instituted into import and export laws, there still exists a black market for these ancient art objects. In today's world of art collection, the collector must necessarily ensure that they are not in possession of stolen art objects and should that be the case pressures from the art world and the country of origination, as well as the penalties of law regarding such objects will likely result in a return of the art object to the originating country or culture to which the art object was derived."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Amazon.com. The paper first evaluates and critiques the company's business models' evolution from 1999 to 2003, in addition to how the business model has responded during that period of time to increasing globalization pressures as well. Amazon.com's maturation from an online bookstore to a business model that encompasses both products and services is also analyzed and critiqued in this paper. The paper then discusses the multichannel implications for Wal-Mart of acquiring Amazon.com, from a process integration and multichannel management standpoint.
Outline:
Executive Summary
Amazon.com's Business Model: 1999 - 2003
Is the Amazon.com business model the right model looking ahead 5 or more years?
Can Amazon.com become the Wal-Mart of the Internet?
Argue the case for e-based companies being focused competitors rather than broad range competitors.
From the Paper
"For Amazon.com the use of e-based competitors as the basis of comparison in terms of the extent to which online retailers (and other e-based business models) have successfully scaled into multichannel management also needs to be taken into account in any analysis of competitive dynamics. The role of information in a multi-channel environment and the extent of a company's ability to "learn" is just as critical as its need to compete on product and service execution.
Third, scalability and agility of an online business are directly related to the breadth of the products and services they sell. Defining e-based competitors based on the breadth of their operations from a product standpoint in addition to the number of suppliers coordinates with is a truer measure of their ability to scale and stay agile, introducing new business processes as needed."

Abstract
The paper reviews the literature to determine what ongoing initiatives are taking place to help launch ordinary people into space today and in the future. The paper explores how these initiatives are being marketed according to the four 'Ps' of marketing; price, product, promotion and place. The paper concludes that the day when people of ordinary means will be able to afford a trip into space is not too far away. The paper also notes that although the price remains prohibitively high for most people, one can assume that like other technologies, the price will continue to drop as innovations are identified and competition increases.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first private astronaut, Dennis Tito, had to pay the Russians $20 million for his brief visit to their space station just a few years ago, but by his accounts, the hefty price tag was well worth it. Likewise, the first private spaceship has already traveled into the lower limits of outer space to international acclaim and enthusiasm from private citizens who are now wondering if they too may have a chance to travel into space. It is little wonder then that there has been an increased amount of attention paid to recreational space travel as a natural extension of the various governmental and military-related space programs in place around the world today."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which was intended to improve access and renewability with respect to employment related group health plans, to health insurance coverage sold in connection with group plans, and to the individual market, by amending the Public Health Service Act. The paper relates that the primary elements in the legislation for most workers are portability and a general improvement in coverage but the Act falls short in addressing these problems. The paper outlines the shortcomings of the Act and provides examples to illustrate them. The paper concludes that, even though main issue in the law is portability, the many other provisions in the Act show how even that one particular change requires a good deal of change in other areas as well.
From the Paper
"Epstein (2002) notes some of the unintended consequences of HIPAA with reference to medical research. He cites the provisions on privacy and finds a conflict "between the concern for privacy on the one hand, and the ability of medical scientists, physicians, and institutions to continue on with their traditional research activities." Under the new rules, it is assumed that everyone needs to obtain consent for the disclosure or use of any particular medical record for any kind of purpose, and when HIPAA does distinguish among purposes, it does so based on the needs of the individual."
