Doug Layton, Cloud Nine’s president, want to invest in a dot-com stocks for the future.

He specifically mentioned Google, eBay, Amazon.com, and Yahoo!, but he said you could suggest other companies. Doug wants you to do some Internet research to learn more about these Web-based companies and their future prospects.Background of the CaseInternet-based systems involve various hardware and software designs, but a typical model is a series of Web pages that provides a user interface, which communicates with database management software and a Web-based data server. As Internet-based commerce continues to grow, career opportunities will expand significantly for IT professionals such as Web designers, database developers, and systems analysts. The surge in demand will come from dot-com companies large and small, and from mainstream retailers.

Literature ReviewUsing the Internet, consumers can go online to purchase an enormous variety of products and services. This new shopping environment allows customers to do research, compare prices and features, check availability, arrange delivery, and choose payment methods in a single convenient session. Many companies, such as airlines, offer incentives for online transactions because Web-based processing costs are lower than traditional methods. By making flight information available online to last-minute travelers, some airlines also offer special discounts on seats that might otherwise go unfilled.

AnalysisIn using a website for your company or your business, consumer can easily reach you and your product. They can easily give a feedbacks or recommendations and FAQs. But if you don’t have a website or you are using the traditional way of business your competitors may be able to take advantage of it to gain more customers. Because having a website is like advertising without exerting any effort.

Conclusion and RecommendationsI therefore conclude that having dot-com stocks in business is better than the traditional way of running a business. Because it eliminate wasting of time and increase the productivity of a certain business.
