T1 - Changing Markets & New Opportunities

Decline In Some Traditional Market Sectors

High Street shops that do not have a website setup on the internet have slowed in growth, whilst shops that are solely designed and created for online shopping, have seen a massive upturn in growth. Some High Street shops have seen the positive outcome of using the internet and have created a website where their customers can now shop online, as well as in store.

Amazon and eBay are examples of online only retailers that have had a big influence on retail competition and has shown what the internet is capable of when used effectively for business uses.


The Need For Organisations & Businesses To Take Advantage Of New Markets & Opportunities

Organisations and businesses should aim to take advantage of new markets and opportunities if they are all a suddenly doing poorly within the market. They should investigate what successful organisations and businesses are doing to be as successful as they are and try and take advantage of any new opportunities to boost their market and possibly gain a competitive edge.

Not taking advantage of those new markets and opportunities could severely impact the organisation or business in the long term and could lead to closure.

Opportunities & Challenges Reperesented By 'Big Data'

Modern day technology produces large amounts of data at a fast rate, so organisations need hardware and software that can process and analyse all that data very quickly. This data can be used by an organisation to gain information on how people are using their services and what parts they are using the most.

Using that information has made it easier for supermarkets/online retailers to save money by ordering and stocking items that are more popular with their customers.

For organisations to use big data to save money, they need to setup systems that can quickly store and process massive amounts of data. This data then needs to be analysed and made understandable, so an organisation can use it effectively.

T1 - Emerging Technologies

Internet Of Things The internet of things (IoT) is a new technology that is on the rise and it allows anything that uses a computer to connect and communicate with other things that uses a computer. For example, a mobile phone could connect to certain systems in a home, like the new smart central heating. This can allow someone to turn the heating on before they get home, so they do not have to turn up to a cold home and wait for it to warm up. IoT could be used within an organisation to speed up workflow by connecting devices and having them communicate with each other. Unfortunately, this technology has its disadvantages, just like any other technology. Due to all the things that use a computer can now connect to the internet and communicate with each other, this makes it easier for attackers to hack into and possibly take control of more rather than being isolated to one of those systems. This can be devastating for an organisation because it would make the job of figh...

T2 - Ethical Issues

The Digital Divide With a lot of modern services now adopting the use of the internet, people who have no access to it are at a great disadvantage compared to those who have access. When someone who has never used the internet has to use a device that relies on it, this can cause a lot of confusion and it will be near impossible for that user to use the device. This can mainly be a problem for people living in developing nations where digital technology is near non-existent. This divide can also be seen in developed nations between the rich and the poor and between those who live in the cities and those who live in rural areas. While people in developing nations would have little to no internet access, poor and rural living people in developed nations would have very slow internet access, for some, no access at all. Difficulties Experienced By The Elderly & The Disabled For older and disabled people, it can be a challenge for them to keep up with the rapidly changing...
