Alexandria
Marketing Research Group, Inc. - Company Name Origin
Alexandria,
was founded in 332 B.C. on the Pharos island by Alexander
the Great, king of Macedonia. He planned the city as
one of the finest ports of the ancient world, where
a famous lighthouse, considered one of the Seven Wonders
of the World, lit the ships' path. Alexandria also became
the capital of Egypt, where numerous palaces, libraries,
and influential schools were build. The city developed
into the literary and scientific center of the ancient
world. Its location also made it the center of commerce
between the East and the West.
This
virtual port, like Alexandria, can be a lighthouse for
organizations that need guidance to plot their position
on the sea of commerce. This research center should
be a safe haven for knowledge that lights the way through
business storms. Companies, like ships, cannot carry
all of the necessary knowledge and may need external
resources. Our resources help to provide you with interpretation
of complex scientific information in an understandable
and useful language. We are interested in the pragmatic
application of business science tools to help businesses
know what direction the winds are blowing, know which
direction will be most successful, identify where they
are in relationship to where they are going, and know
how fast they are moving.
- Can
you identify which direction the winds are blowing?
- Do
you know which direction will be most successful?
- Do
you know where your organization is in relationship
to where you are going?
- Do
you know how fast you are moving?
If
you need help with answers to these questions, contact
Alexandria.

Code
of Ethics for Marketing on the Internet
Preamble
The
Internet, including online computer communications,
has become increasingly important to marketers'
activities, as they provide exchanges and access
to markets worldwide. The ability to interact with
stakeholders has created new marketing opportunities
and risks that are not currently specifically addressed
in the American Marketing Association Code of Ethics.
The American Marketing Association Code of Ethics
for Internet marketing provides additional guidance
and direction for ethical responsibility in this
dynamic area of marketing. The American Marketing
Association is committed to ethical professional
conduct and has adopted these principles for using
the Internet, including on-line marketing activities
utilizing network computers.
General
Responsibilities
Internet
marketers must assess the risks and take responsibility
for the consequences of their activities. Internet
marketers' professional conduct must be guided by:
- Support
of professional ethics to avoid harm by protecting
the rights of privacy, ownership and access.
- Adherence
to all applicable laws and regulations with no
use of Internet marketing that would be illegal,
if conducted by mail, telephone, fax or other
media.
- Awareness
of changes in regulations related to Internet
marketing.
- Effective
communication to organizational members on risks
and policies related to Internet marketing, when
appropriate.
- Organizational
commitment to ethical Internet practices communicated
to employees, customers and relevant stakeholders.
Privacy
Information
collected from customers should be confidential
and used only for expressed purposes. All data,
especially confidential customer data, should be
safeguarded against unauthorized access. The expressed
wishes of others should be respected with regard
to the receipt of unsolicited e-mail messages.
Ownership
Information
obtained from the Internet sources should be properly
authorized and documented. Information ownership
should be safeguarded and respected. Marketers should
respect the integrity and ownership of computer
and network systems.
Access
Marketers
should treat access to accounts, passwords, and
other information as confidential, and only examine
or disclose content when authorized by a responsible
party. The integrity of others' information systems
should be respected with regard to placement of
information, advertising or messages.
