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 - Hardware & Software Developments

Focus On Mobile Rather Than Desktop Computing Over the last two decades, mobile device hardware has advanced greatly. With the hardware becoming more advanced, a wide variety of software is now usable on a mobile device. The advanced hardware has allowed developers to create detailed software that was not before achievable due to the simplicity and restricted nature of mobile devices of the past. Development tools were made to make the process of creating software for mobile devices a lot easier because the more that developers want to add, the more complex the software becomes without the tools. These tools have made developing software for mobile devices quicker and easier, and with the more advanced hardware on top, a lot of developers have started creating applications that could not have been possible on mobile before. Lots of organisations have taken advantage of the advanced technologies in mobile devices by creating apps which also allows them to keep...

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...
