  [3]  Business Tips - Why Open-To-Buy?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must learn how to use your Open-To-Buy to buy more effectively. 
It requires some work and a lot of discipline but it will be well 
worth it in better cash flow and higher profits.

Let's look at your operation. Do you overstock when sales increases 
are good, and under stock when prospects are bad? Is so, a relatively 
small increase in sales often leads to excessive buying - then when 
sales slow down high markdowns are taken to clear out this excess 
supply of merchandise. This, in turn, leads to lower gross 
profit.  ... much more here....

Next we will learn how to calculate Open-To-Buy and the elements in 
the formula.

operation, please contact us via e-mail.

  [4]  Member Post - IBM Hits Amazon With E-Commerce Patent Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM sued Amazon.com, alleging that the giant Internet retailer is 
infringing on five IBM patents that a company executive calls 
"seminal" to electronic commerce.

The suits tap into the long-simmering debate over whether patents on 
methods of doing business should apply on the Internet, where ideas 
are easily replicated. Critics say patents smother high-tech 
innovation by cutting out healthy competition, while proponents say 
they give companies a reason to invest in new technology without fear 
that it will be immediately copied.
