XSLT

all of the xslt took me a long time to do because it wasn't working at first so i had to start over.

http://phobos.ramapo.edu/~idennis/project/inventory.xml - here i used the if statement to display a couple of different tables

http://phobos.ramapo.edu/~idennis/W5/cd_catalog_with_css.xml - here i used CSS to modify XML

business model

The business model I will be using is a combination of a few different models. I will be a virtual merchant that uses incentive marketing, the pay-per-click affiliate model and offers social networking services.

Mini-Proposal

For my web business, I will be creating an online soccer shop that will sell soccer related products. I think I will be able to incorporate both Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 in different ways for my project. Web 2.0 will be useful because it will allow me to meet my customers’ needs more effectively. I would like to implement a discussion forum to allow customers to express their concerns. If customers were interested in certain products that I did not have in stock, I could see what new products I should try to acquire and make available. The discussion forum would also serve the purpose of letting customers discuss soccer in general or any other subject they wish to. If a discussion becomes particularly compelling, it may draw new people to participate in it. Since most of people participating in the discussions will be interested in soccer, the store will be a convenient place to buy products while the discussions are driving in interest. The freedom to discuss anything they want will keep people on the discussion boards so that they can talk to friends.

Enterprise 2.0 will also be incorporated into the business. Since it will be a completely online based business, functionality of the website will be the most important aspect of the company. Customers need to be able to easily find products and manipulate the website to accomplish what they want. If the site is not functional at any point in time, it will drive away first time customers from returning to the site, and will not compel repeat customers to return again. I will need a small team of website developers to keep the website up and running at all times. A private discussion board will allow my team of developers to discuss any problems they run into. The use of their collective knowledge will be much more effective in dealing with any problems than any one developer would be. This would allow developers to spend less time on any given problem and the website would undoubtedly be maintained better.
