Core processes, methods and e-services to support Virtual Enterprise Brokerage

The role of the broker in present day e-business is getting special attention. This paper presents a description of an e-broker, called a Virtual Enterprise Broker (VEB). The core processes, methods and tools used by the VEB in order to fulfil the customer's requirements are illustrated. A description of the four core processes executed by the VEB is presented: analysis of market requirements, project planning, project execution, and customer service. All of these core processes are supported by the use of different methods and e-services. Finally, some case studies of brokerage activities are discussed to demonstrate how brokerage services are undertaken to exploit new business opportunities.

Information consultancy and brokerage in Botswana

Limited empirical research on information consultancy and brokerage is documented and almost nothing originates from authors in the developing countries despite the upsurge of reasons for involvement in the services provided in the region. However, in considering investment in consultancy and brokerage services in a unique and unknown consumer environment such as Africa, it would be fool-hardy to ignore the complexities posed by the coexistence of an information-conscious population on the one hand and a semi-literate population on the other. This study investigates the need for information consultancy and brokerage services in Botswana for the advice, creation and development of information consultancy and brokerage services in the country. The study was conducted in Botswana and data was collected in Gaborone, which has 34.3% of the urban population, including 10% of the national population, and is also the capital city and seat for government and private agencies in the country. Data was collected by means of questionnaires and interviews with the public and private sectors as well as information consultants and brokers. The analysis of data and the subsequent results revealed that, while Botswana has information consultants and brokers, there is a need for their services in management mainly but also in information technology, information systems and informal training. Unexplored and less-exploited markets exist in both the private and public sector. So far, access to information used by clients is mainly through private contacts (70.6%), office files (69.6%), mass media (60.3%) and information consultancy and brokerage (34%). The study recommends that coordination, marketing, promotion and publicity of information consultancy and brokerage activities are essential. The areas identified for consultancy services need to be developed and exploited, clients’ awareness of the usefulness of information management be created and the consultants and brokers be readily available when needed. The study provides a basis for market analysis that can benefit training institutions in librarianship and information management in capacity building.

Information brokerage activities in Norway*

En Norvege, Internet est de plus en plus populaire mais il reste peu utilise dans un but professionnel. Des efforts sont donc faits pour etendre les services d'information electronique a l'industrie. L'application des technologies de l'information aux activites de courtage de l'information des bibliotheques et de l'enseignement superieur dans ce pays est etudiee.

Functional Components of the Ferrous Scrap Industry in a Selected Portion of the Southeastern U. S.

In recent years, new electric steel mills have been built and total electric steel mill production has increased substantially in the south- eastern United States. For several years, the Southeast has been an excess producer of ferrous scrap—the basic raw material used in electric steel mill production. (1) Ferrous scrap, particularly scrap steel, can be used in varying quantities in all types of steel-making furnaces: the open-hearth, electric, basic oxygen (BOF), and Bessemer. Only electric- arc steel-making furnaces, however, are currently used in the area con- sidered by this paper, and they are charged almost exclusively with steel scrap. Electric furnace steel producers depend almost exclusively on the scrap industry for their basic raw material. Purchased scrap con- sumption for electric mills ranges from 75 to 100 percent of the total scrap consumed, depending on whether or not mill-revert scrap is con- sidered as a separate source. Cast iron is not purchased or consumed by steel mills. For the most part, it is bought and used by large foundries located in the Birmingham-Anniston, Alabama, area. STUDY AREA. This paper focuses on the functional components of the ferrous scrap industry currently providing essential raw materials for five electric steel mills located in three Southeastern states. These five steel producers are located in a relatively compact geographical area within Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Since all five mills are electric, they are dependent on ferrous scrap as a raw material. The outer boundary of their collective raw materials supply area thus serves
