Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: A, University of Leeds, language: English, abstract: The contemporary world of today functions on investment. There are many types of investment such as investment in property, shares, mutual funds, sugar, gold, oil, rice etcetera (Theodore , 1992). The list goes on and on with some forms of investment so inanely mundane like investment in over priced paintings by unknown artists that one is forced to shake their heads at the inanes of how far the concept of investment has come since its inception. Investment is described in dictionary as: In finance, investment is the purchase of a financial product or other item of value with an expectation of favorable future returns. In general terms, investment means the use money in the hope of making more money. In business it is the purchase by a producer of a physical good, such as durable equipment or inventory, in the hope of improving future business. Gambling on the other hand is almost as old as investment itself and its exact origins are unknown. Scientists believe that the ancient Romans would bet on the outcomes of chariot races and gladiator fights. It could be defined as: the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period (Linda , 2006).

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, grade: A, University of Leeds, language: English, abstract: This study focuses on consumer behaviour in relation to internet marketing. There is a relationship between consumer participating on online marketing and their behavioural perspective. For instance, the behavioural perspective of consumers towards e-shopping varies depending on several factors. First, it is based on the media system dependent theory which explains dependency relationships between individuals and the medium of communication. It is also based on the perceived usefulness of e-shopping in meeting and understanding ones society or self, orientation meaning actions or interactions of consumers and finally it depends on play that deals with e-shopping and interactive goals. For example, using an email survey that focused on166 respondents that were randomly picked from the staff, faculty, and student population in a mid-western university in US studied, the influence of consumer behaviour on online business, chatting with friends, and news reading was empirically tested. Averagely consumers surveyed had purchased eight various products online in the last seven months, spent twenty minutes in daily reading news online, and ten minutes were spent on net chatting with clients. The consumers also portray positive attributes towards e-shopping and overall e-commerce. This report thus seeks to analytical research on how consumer behaviour can be used on internet marketing.
