The small & micro business has the characteristics of both consumer credit risk and business credit risk. In predicting the bankruptcy for small-micro businesses, the problem is that in most cases, the financial data for evaluating business credit risks of small & micro businesses are not available. To alleviate such problem, we propose a bankruptcy prediction mechanism using the credit card sales information available, because most small businesses are member store of some credit card issuers, which is the main purpose of this study. In order to perform this study, we derive some variables and analyze the relationship between good and bad signs. We employ the new statistical learning technique, support vector machines (SVM) as a classifier. We use grid search technique to find out better parameter for SVM. The experimental result shows that credit card sales information could be a good substitute for the financial data for evaluating business credit risk in predicting the bankruptcy for small-micro businesses. In addition, we also find out that SVM performs best, when compared with other classifiers such as neural networks, CART, C5.0 multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA), and logistic regression.

Web businesses are one of the most dynamic industries where lots of new business models are emerging while the other obsoleted ones are fading away almost every day. It is, therefore, difficult to establish a classification scheme for ever-changing web businesses. Previous researches on business models focus on classifying web businesses in one dimension which made some web sites difficult to fit into one category. We propose two dimensional classification scheme based on the means and the sources of revenue. The two dimensional classification provides more clear and broad perspectives of the web businesses and ways to identify web sites in combinations of several business models.

As preventive measures have received tremendous attention to prevent any possible accident in advance, many work places have introduced safety and health management systems.
