Assessment – Individual Business Report – MOVING FORWARD

Discuss how the development of technology has affected one industry in the last 20 years.
The development of technology has had a significant impact on various industries in the last 20 years, but one industry that has been particularly affected is the retail industry. The widespread adoption of the internet and mobile devices has led to the development of e-commerce, which has significantly changed the way consumers shop and the way retailers operate. In this essay, I will discuss the ways in which technology has affected the retail industry, including the growth of e-commerce, the shift towards omnichannel retail, and the use of technology to personalize the shopping experience and improve supply chain operations.
The growth of e-commerce has been one of the most significant changes in the retail industry in the last 20 years. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services through the internet. According to a report by the Harvard Business Review, e-commerce accounted for only 1% of retail sales in 2000, but by 2019 it accounted for nearly 10%. This growth can be attributed to the increasing number of consumers who are using the internet to research and purchase products, as well as the increasing number of retailers who are offering online shopping options. According to a study by the National Retail Federation, over 80% of consumers now research products online before making a purchase, and more than 60% of consumers have made an online purchase in the last year. This shift towards online shopping has led to the closure of many brick-and-mortar stores and the rise of e-commerce giants such as Amazon and Alibaba.
In response to the growth of e-commerce, retailers have also begun to adopt omnichannel retail strategies. Omnichannel retail refers to the integration of multiple sales channels, including brick-and-mortar stores, e-commerce websites, and mobile apps. According to a study by Accenture, omnichannel retailers see a 9% higher revenue growth rate compared to single-channel retailers. By offering multiple channels for customers to shop, retailers are able to reach a wider customer base and provide a more convenient shopping experience. For example, a customer may research a product online, purchase it in-store, and then return it through the mail. This ability to seamlessly move across channels has become a key differentiator for retailers in the highly competitive retail industry.
Another way in which technology has affected the retail industry is through the use of technology to personalize the shopping experience and improve supply chain operations. Retailers are using technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics to gain insights into customer behavior and preferences, and to create personalized shopping experiences. For example, Amazon uses machine learning algorithms to recommend products to customers based on their browsing and purchasing history. According to a study by Accenture, retailers who use personalization strategies see an average of 6-10% increase in revenue. Additionally, retailers are using technologies such as RFID (radio-frequency identification) and sensor technology to improve supply chain operations. For example, RFID tags can be placed on products to track their location in real-time, allowing retailers to more efficiently manage their inventory and prevent stockouts.
Technology has had a significant impact on the retail industry in the last 20 years. The growth of e-commerce has led to the closure of many brick-and-mortar stores and the rise of e-commerce giants such as Amazon and Alibaba. Retailers have also begun to adopt omnichannel retail strategies to reach a wider customer base and provide a more convenient shopping experience. Additionally, retailers are using technology such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics to personalize the shopping experience and improve supply chain operations. While technology has led to increased efficiency and competition in the retail industry, it has also led to job loss in certain sectors. In the future, it is likely that technology will continue to play a

PART C – PARAPHRASING

What is it?

– Writing someone else’s ideas in your own words.

Do You Use AI to Write Papers?

No way—our papers are 100% human-crafted. Our writers are real pros with degrees, bringing creativity and expertise AI can’t match. Every piece is original, checked for plagiarism, and tailored to your needs by a skilled human, not a machine.

How do you do it?

You need to UNDERSTAND what you have read before you can paraphrase
focus on the main/relevant ideas
change the sentence structure
use synonyms (vocab transformations) – BUT be careful
active/passive and other grammar transformations – BUT be careful
Be careful with the grammar and vocabulary options – you can’t just keep the sentence but exchange a few words for synonyms.

Qu: How is paraphrasing different from summarising? Which will you do in your written assignments?

Ans:

Why Choose You for Research Papers?

We’re the best because our writers are degree-holding experts—Bachelor’s to Ph.D.—who nail any topic. We obsess over quality, using tools to ensure perfection, and offer free revisions to guarantee you’re thrilled with the result, even on tight deadlines.

Paraphrasing is writing an author’s exact ideas in your own words

Summarising is taking the main meaning from the source (and writing it in your own words)

BOTH are important.

Qu: Is paraphrasing better/worse than/the same as using quotations?

Who’s Writing My College Essays?

Our writers are top-tier—university grads, many with Master’s degrees, who’ve passed tough tests to join us. They’re ready for any essay, working with you to hit your deadlines and grading standards with ease and professionalism.

Ans:

Generally BOTH are acceptable BUT always paraphrase if you can and don’t quote too much. A good example of quotations is for definitions. But when you quote you must add quotation marks “ ”.

Paraphrase Example Original

In my world-famous journal article last year, I wrote the following sentence:

Are Your Papers Original?

Always! We start from scratch—no copying, no AI—just pure, human-written work with solid research and citations. You can even get a plagiarism report to confirm it’s 95%+ unique, ready for worry-free submission.

“Because it causes obesity and diabetes, chocolate should be added to the list of prohibited substances.”

In your essay, how can you write it?

Osborne believes that chocolate should be banned because of its effect on people’s health.

Should this have quotation marks? NO because it is a paraphrase.

Can You Match Any Citation Style?

You bet! From APA to IEEE, our writers nail every style with precision. Give us your guidelines, and we’ll craft a paper that fits your academic standards perfectly, no sweat.

Should this have a reference? YES because it comes from an external source

Here are some alternatives:

According to Osborne (2021), chocolate should be banned because of its effect on people’s health.

Osborne (2021) claims/believes/argues/states that chocolate should be banned because of its effect on people’s health.

TASK 2 (not done in class). Try it yourself:

ORIGINAL (from the Tayeb 1996 text)

PART D – ESSAY/REPORT TYPES

(I didn’t look at this is all three seminars but have a look anyway)

Now look at essay types

In management studies, there are often four main essay types:

How Do You Meet My Professor’s Standards?

We tailor your paper to your rubric—structure, tone, everything. Our writers decode academic expectations, and editors polish it to perfection, ensuring it’s grade-ready.

Descriptive essays describe or summarise ideas, events or situations. They give the facts. They might involve giving a narrative description, the key ideas in a theory, a process or the main points of an article.

Analytical essays try to analyse or explain something or give reasons for a situation. They may also involve questioning accepted ideas or assumptions.

Comparison essays compare two or more aspects, ideas, situations or companies. They usually also involve evaluating the ideas (which is better or worse).

Argument essays give an opinion and support that opinion with evidence or reasons. They are likely to involve introducing opposing arguments and showing why one of them is wrong (or less accurate or appropriate).

What’s Your Editing Process?

Upload your draft, tell us your goals, and our editors will refine it—boosting arguments, fixing errors, and keeping your voice. You’ll get a polished paper that’s ready to shine.

EXAMPLE ESSAY TITLES

DESCRIPTIVE

How do individualism and collectivism manifest themselves in companies?

ANALYTICAL

What issues would you have to consider if you were a global manager from an individualist society working in a collectivist company, or vice versa?

Can You Suggest Paper Topics?

Sure! Need ideas? We’ll pitch topics based on your subject and interests—catchy and doable. Pick one, and we’ll run with it, or tweak it together.

COMPARISON

What are the advantages and disadvantages for a business to be organised using an individualistic or collectivistic approach?

ARGUMENT

“Individualism is more results-focused whereas collectivism is more employee- focused.” To what extent is this statement true?

PART E – REFERENCING

Why do we add referencing to our academic work?

It is the required/expected academic style
Because you are told to do so / To avoid plagiarism
Gives support to our ideas/arguments, makes them stronger
To give credit to the original source/author
Traceability = it allows the reader to find the original source and read it for themselves.
Difference between references and citations

Do You Offer Rush Revisions?

Yes! If you need quick edits, our team can turn it around fast—hours, not days—tightening up your paper for last-minute perfection.

Reference = The full details of the source and it is put at the end of a text in a reference list
Citation = the short version of the reference (surname and year only) and it is put in the text wherever ideas are taken from external sources.
Quick reminder or new information?

What information do you need to capture in:

Books
Surname, Initial. (Year of publication) Title of Book. Place of publication: Publisher.

Articles
Surname, Initial. (Year of publication) ‘Title of article’, Title of Journal, Volume(Issue), Pages.
