A "lucid and prescient" explanation of the credit crisis, and how to survive it, has won the 2008 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.

When Markets Collide by Mohamed El-Erian was described by Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman's chairman and chief executive and one of the judges, as "extremely accessible and compelling".

Mr El-Erian collected the £30,000 ($52,000) prize last night at a gala dinner at The Plaza, New York. Samuel Palmisano, chief executive of IBM, was the guest speaker.

The book, published by McGraw-Hill in May before the latest convulsions of the credit crunch, has already had a big impact, partly because its author is also co-chief executive officer and co-chief investment officer of Pimco, the fixed-income fund manager.

Reviewing the book in July, the Financial Times's John Authers said few people were "as well-positioned to understand markets" as Mr El-Erian, who has also worked at the International Monetary Fund and run Harvard University's $35bn (£20bn) endowment fund.

Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times and another judge of the award, said When Markets Collide was "lucid and prescient in its diagnosis of the present financial turmoil" and offered "important prescriptions for the way forward".

The book explains how a collision between markets of yesterday, centred on the US and the developed world, and the emerging markets of tomorrow is creating new opportunities and risks.

It breaks new ground for the Business Book of the Year Award, launched in 2005, by being the first winner to offer explicit investment advice, alongside its economic and geopolitical analysis.

When Markets Collide - subtitled "Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change" - took the top prize against keen competition from five other finalists.

They were: The Snowball , the biography of Warren Buffett, the investor; Remix , on copyright and the internet generation; Mc-Mafia , about globalisation and organised crime; Cold Steel , on the Arcelor/Mittal takeover; and A Splendid Exchange , a history of free trade. Each finalist received £5,000.

The FT/Goldman Sachs award seeks the book that each year provides "the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues, including management, finance and economics".

To more than 50 million users, PayPal used to signify a peer-to-peer payment exchange that relied largely on email notifications. Not anymore. While PayPal still stands as one of the most recognized brands in the ecommerce world, it’s no longer a single payment system: It's a suite of different payment options that can assist merchants to start accepting payments online or enhance their existing payment functions.

What are they? How do they differ from each other? Which ones should you use, if any? Let's take a look.

Website Payments Standard uses PayPal’s own website to process payments for you. Customers temporarily leave your store and pay on the PayPal website, with or without a credit card (e.g. they might use their PayPal account, which contains funds deposited from their checking account). Customers are taken back to your website at the end of the transaction.

Website Payments Pro combines two payment systems:

• Direct Payments, whereby customers pay at your store via credit card, without knowing that PayPal is involved. No PayPal branding appears on the payment page. This is an alternative to establishing a merchant account and payment gateway relationship yourself: PayPal will be both your merchant account provider and payment gateway.

• Express Checkout, essentially PayPal's answer to Google Checkout -- although PayPal developed the concept first. Users can opt not to register or login at your store; instead, they complete their purchases at PayPal, where the same login information can be used for any store that supports Express Checkout.

PayFlow Payment Gateway presents two choices that incorporate the PayFlow payment systems from VeriSign, which PayPal purchased in November 2005:

• PayFlow Pro is a standard payment gateway, which translates into a credit card form shown to customers during checkout. Customers don’t leave your store during the transaction. A component must be installed on the web server hosting your store. You will need an Internet merchant account through your bank or other merchant account provider.

• Payflow Link directs customers out of your store to the Payflow Link page, where they pay for the order. This system is typically used when you don’t have a shopping cart, and you are simply in need of a payment page to collect payment for a product or service.

Are you confused? I was. Website Payments Pro (WPP) Direct Payments and PayFlow Pro both allow credit card payments, on a merchant’s own website, without any PayPal branding. What's the difference? Why does PayPal offer both? Here we go:

• For your customers: there is no difference.

• For you: it’s speed of setup, cost, and reporting features.

If you are a new or very small business, go with Website Payments Pro as getting setup is likely faster and easier since you don’t need to obtain an Internet merchant account.

Cost-wise, WPP is cheaper until the number of daily transactions becomes substantial. Specifically, PayFlow Pro costs $40 more per month than Website Payments Pro and has a setup fee of $249, but a much lower cost per transaction ($0.10 versus $0.30 for WPP). The credit card processing rates that you can obtain through your bank (if you are an established business) might also be lower than the rates charged by Website Payments Pro, which vary between 2.2% and 2.9% depending on volume and other qualifications.

Do the math and – depending on the average order amount on your web store – you’ll find that PayFlow Pro becomes cheaper when the number of transaction hits a certain threshold, which is normally a few hundred orders a day.

There are also differences in functionality. In my experience, large stores that process hundreds of orders a day typically use PayFlow Pro. It provides more advanced reporting and transaction reconciliation features, for example, on top of the lower cost per transaction.

How about Express Checkout? Once it has been integrated into a shopping cart, it can be used with any gateway supported by the cart, not just PayPal’s. So you could be using Authorize.Net and Express Checkout on the same store, for instance. If you opt to use Website Payments Pro (Direct Payments), Express Checkout is enabled automatically (a PayPal requirement that your shopping cart provider had to comply with).

And PayFlow Link? It’s for merchants that typically don't have much experience with ecommerce and want a solution to cut and paste HTML into their website to allow the purchase of a few products or services. In other words, if you are using a shopping cart, you will not use Payflow Link. So don’t worry about it.

Let’s recap.

• Website Payments Standard: Use it to offer PayPal payments if your shopping cart does not support Express Checkout. If it does, then Express Checkout basically replaces it.

• Express Checkout (Website Payments Pro) Activate it on your store if you want to provide an alternative checkout option, similar to Google Checkout. Customers that hate to register with a new store will appreciate the ability to bypass your registration form.

• Direct Payments (Website Payments Pro): This offers an easy way to support credit card payments on your store without having to get an Internet merchant account. Customers stay on your store and there is no PayPal branding.

• PayFlow Pro: If your store processes several hundred orders a day, go with PayFlow Pro to take advantage of more robust reporting and transaction reconciliation tools. You will need an Internet merchant account through your bank.

• PayFlow Link: If you use a professional shopping cart, you don't need it.

Check with your shopping cart software provider to determine which of these payment options could be used on your store. If you are looking for new shopping-cart software, PayPal has a list of compatible carts on its website.

Fastcommerce shopping carts software combines innovative web design and Product presentation With Tightly Integrated Multi-Channel Fulfilment Processes.

Fastcommerce shopping carts software has been announced a new release of 'MotiveShop', its ecommerce software solution for the retail sector - http://system.fastcommerce.com/. MotiveShop enables retailers to maximise ecommerce revenues by being able to present visually dynamic, content-rich product information to customers, whilst also extending sales reach and increasing conversion values.
With each month bringing ever more dire figures from the high street, the potential rewards on offer for the successful multi-channel retail strategy are compelling.

However, many retailers are now discovering, if ecommerce is to become a significant revenue stream, fulfilment processes must be integrated across channels and extend to after sales.
Andy Derrick, managing director of Motive Technology, explains, "Those multi-channel retailers still relying on disjointed systems for high street and online sales channels are suffering increasingly untenable costs, significant stock and price inaccuracy and are unable to deliver key customer services - such as reserve online and collect in store. With our MotiveShop ecommerce software solution, retailers now have the opportunity to integrate on and offline sales by driving online purchasers into stores to collect their goods, thus providing another opportunity to sell. It therefore becomes crucial to ensure consistency of message across all channels in terms of product information, availability, price, product delivery and returns."
Derrick continues, "MotiveShop allows retailers to satisfy the diversification of customer needs and provide a seamless service experience. By combining innovative web design and product presentation with excellent fulfilment processes, we can help multi-channel retailers to increase their basket value, improve sales of relevant, high value accessories and feed products to much larger audiences."

Another day, another round of 'could it be an iPhone killer?' whispers. RIM is keen to point out that there's enough room in the smartphone market for everyone, but that just doesn't make good copy, does it? iphone 3g 16gb is fantastic!

So, iphone 3g 16gb, on paper, who wins in the battle of *adopts wrestling commentator voice* the Apple iPhone 3G 16gb and the Blackberry Storm? iphone 3g 16gb

(And yes, iphone 3g 16gb's on paper - we haven't had a chance to properly play with the Storm yet. Bear with us).

Size
Surprisingly, there's very little to choose between the two - 4.4x2.4x0.55 for the Storm, and 4.5x2.4x0.48 for the iPhone. Having said that, the iPhone can claim the minimalist crown, as the hard buttons at the bottom of the Storm prevent it from looking super-slick. The Storm also weighs an extra ounce.
Winner: iphone 3g 16gb

Also, if you decide to quit after 30 days, you can get a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of your subscription… and of course still keep your new domain name too.

Even though it is currently the most visible, Business 2 Consumer (B2C) is only part of e-commerce. Business 2 Business (B2B) e-commerce is quickly emerging as an area of economic growth and expansion. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Manufacturers, more than two-thirds of American manufacturers still do not conduct business electronically. However, that is predicted to change in the near future.

Businesses are beginning to move their supply networks and sales channels online and are participating in new online marketplaces. Businesses also are expanding their use of networked systems to improve internal business processes to coordinate product design, manage inventory, improve customer service, and reduce administrative and managerial costs. Some businesses may face barriers to adopting e-commerce, including a lack of knowledge about the technology and its costs; insufficient information about the benefits of e-commerce and applicable business models; shortage of technically trained employees; complex and user-discouraging e-commerce implementations; the absence of unbiased, qualified assistance; and lack of funds. The South cannot afford to let these barriers hold e-commerce development back.

By failing to participate in e-commerce, companies are missing opportunities for lowering costs, increasing productivity, expanding market access, and improving relationships with customers and business partners. By not making the transition to the new way of doing business, businesses run a serious risk of becoming less competitive, affecting both their present market positions and long-term viability. As larger companies (with more available funds to transition) integrate e-commerce into their businesses, small firms run the risk of being excluded if they are unable to establish strong e-commerce ties with others in their supply chains.

The wonderful online world that is the internet is constantly changing and modifying as consumers demand more, and as companies try newer, innovational approaches to the ways that online business is conducted. The world of ecommerce and the ever evolving web shopping carts is constantly changing for the better. As programmers and designers integrate newer and far more secure web applications for shopping carts, with the main theme of consumer security, confidentiality and of course, ease of payment processing in mind. The ecommerce software of today is light years ahead of those that were present just a few short years ago. And as time continues to pass, expect to see these shopping carts become even more evolved.

The importance for any online business or entity in offering a high level of online security is essential in them attracting customers who will then go on to make a purchase on their websites. Considering that identity theft is at an all time high, and that quite frequently hackers make haste of people's personal and confidential identifying information online, all to use it for fraudulent purposes later, online security is the main theme of the shopping carts today. Programmers and web developers are working hand in hand with online security firms to better their batch processing systems and to create the best, most secure method of transferring major financial information to the credit card companies for processing. Large companies like Visa and MasterCard have already issued newer security requirements for using this type of software, which if not met by the developers, they will reject accepting payments from any shopping carts not meeting their security standards.

These platforms change the way that you can do business online. In the past, before online shopping carts were the main theme, merchants had to accept money orders and checks and use integrated online payment systems like those found in payment processors such as Paypal and others, who charged steep fees for such services. Then they had to wait for the money, and deal with another middle man company for processing. Enter the online shopping cart, and suddenly merchants had a way to really offer their customers convenience, privacy and ease of use. Without this software, most internet merchants and vendors would already be belly up, as the main theme of online purchases is ease. People are able to log on to the internet, enjoy shopping on some of the largest catalogs of items in the world, where they can find great deals and enjoy them, all without having to leave their home. Shopping carts have changed the way that the world does business online, and the more secure that consumers feel using them, the more money that the internet has the potential to make.

Why is this method essential in today's online world? Can you imagine visiting an online store that did not allow you to add items to the shopping cart? A website or online store without this capacity certainly would not survive long in today's online world. It's great for shoppers. They can add items in large or small quantities as they desire, and keep shopping. Before they check out they can review a list of the items, their descriptions and the costs. They can add shipping rates, modify items or remove items they choose not to buy. Then they simply check out and tender payment securely online. And all of the while they do not have to worry about their personal information becoming comprised to thieves. Surely, without the shopping cart software of today, the internet would be a much less profitable world.

Like every current or future entrepreneur, you're also looking for the best business idea. The ideal income opportunity is the one that makes you best. Don't select a business based on someone else success, but on your personality, skills and a good marketing analysis. You can find all the necessary information regarding your competition and market potential on the Internet.

You must build a legitimate home business idea following your passion, and then you'll be ahead of your competition. Your advantage is your unique natural born talent and this will make you stand out in your field, for your own benefit and the benefit of others.

This is the first and most important step when starting a small home business. So please, don't start any online income opportunities based on the wrong reasons: The money you think you're going to make, because you hate your boss or your job, someone else is either doing it or asked you to do it. Discover what you love as well as your talents, and then you'll be able to build the best online home business!

You don't need a large starting capital to start a home business using the Internet. You can build a website with very little money; in fact, there are companies that offer free software to build your site (PageBreeze and Bluevoda). Then, you can market your products or services to the whole world and you can easily communicate your knowledge and make it available to thousands of prospects or clients.

When you consider starting a new business, you should make a gradual transition from your present source of revenue to your new project. The Internet allows you to obtain valuable information that will help you make a more informed decision, improve your knowledge, and determine what the best business to start from home.

Commerce on the world wide web has always been a study in contradictions. One example: store owners must defend against hackers and other forms of online intrusion, but must also publicize and promote the addresses of their servers. Another: the online store has no brick and mortar storefront, but because of its far reach and low overhead it sells more, and therefore requires far more brick and mortar warehouse space. Finally: if a site looks more like fun than business, it will often actually conduct more business.

The final point is noteworthy. An online retail site must attract the visitor's attention in order to be a viable business venture. The ecommerce solution is an important part of site protection both for the vendor and the upholstery steam cleaning When items are targeted for purchase, the shopping cart becomes an important part of customer satisfaction. Every part of the shopping cart must be easy to navigate and still provide all the necessary information needed to complete the sale and prompt a return visit for future purchases.

You've probably been annoyed by other online retailers who cut corners. Cutting corners is not best practice in the long run. Offering a shopping cart by way of online store software is a major convenience for memory loss customer and a security measure for everyone. A shopping cart presents merchandise, totals purchases, applies discounts, and receives payment in a safe and secure manner.

A basic shopping cart package includes these fundamentals. Some offer further information covering average customer data, the browsing behavior and trends in purchasing. More importantly, however, the carpet cleaner service requires the card to transform inventory from pictures on a site into trackable inventory identifiers, and calculate those into prices.
