25
give example of a less suitbale business still using website
hairdressers can use it to arrange appoitnmtets online can do it but wont have a full ecomm strategy
26
what are hte 5 costs of ecoommerce
need for considerabe investment e.g web design , intergration with exisitnig networks cyber security threats lower bte means higher leveles of competiton distance form consuemrs cna be problematic difficult for ocnusmers to try on goods leading to mroe returns
27
explain need for consderable investment con
e.g web design , integrate with exosting computer sustems , train staff to deal with web and issues gotta work out logistics cause if customers arent coming to you an collecting youve got to get it to them e.g bring in distribution network such as click and collect very csotly , but most mkt to compete effectivley have to do this
28
explain cbyer security threats
e.g talk talk personal data of customers stoken - company attakced by hackers may mean customers doubt wehther personal info is safe can lead to reputational damage lead to loss of money time consumign + significant impact
29
explain lwoer bte = hgiher levels of comp
easier for new business to enter mkt meas bs may ahve to icnrease quality of thero product this increases costs as means more innvoation and R&D which is costly or a bs may have to look for cocst savings e.g reducing staff/bulk buying - can result in lower revenue coming in and lower profit margins st costly in terms of incresing quality but good in LT as bs can remian differntiated /keep comp
30
explain eval of distance from consumers
this can be roblematic if got cosuemrs coming face to face with b you can ask em Q about roucts and see whether they happy or not you dont get the richness of infor therfore DM can be worse as are not ass informed - this cna be coutnered with market research haowever this is another cots
31
explain difficult for conusmers to try ong goods leadin to reurn
this can increase waste especially if goods are customised problem in retial as sizes differnt e.g nike and adiidsa leads to lots of return - many of these sites offer free return so cost for bs and may fee presuure to do free returns
32
explain difficult for conusmers to try ong goods leadin to reurn
this can increase waste especially if goods are customised problem in retial as sizes differnt e.g nike and adiidsa leads to lots of return - many of these sites offer free return so cost for bs and may fee presuure to do free returns
33
big data

when vast quantities of info are generated, stored anda analysed by a business
35
what are the 3vs relating to big data
volume velocity variety
36
explain the idea of the 3vs associated with big data
we're collecting huge amounts of data quiclky and lots of diff types too
37
org starting to turn big data into
competitive adv and rev /selling it
38
give examples of data we may be collecting in big data 5 examples
customer data (loyalty cards)] sales info (revenues generated) operational data (faulty products produced) marekting info ( effectiveness of adv) HR data (perfomance history of employees)
39
explain cosuemr data
e.g loyalty catds show us what somene buys over pot THIS IS STORED ON DATTA BASE WITH Ks of other conusmers data showing what theyve bought - this can be analysed and use to offer deals to custoemrs which can incresae brand loylath?
40
explainsales info
this can tell us revnues generated and what products are generated most rev useful for bs liek supermarket that sells 100s of products - decrease stock of those not sold mroe and reduce storage costs
41
explain operational data
can record falty products produced - therfore can analyse reds and see they may need to introduce quality traingn to solve this issue and reduce waste - esp if thats their obj
42
explain mkting ino
for exmaple we can see effectiveness of adv how succesful , how many clicks do we get on our web - compare and therfore if need to change web we adv or content in ad this increases ads effectivness , means more ocnsuemrs made aware of produts andbenefits and mroe sales and rev
43
explain HR data
could record data about performance hisotry of an employee e.g labou productiviyt , what fault products and therfore what training needs ot be done or what rewards cna we gve to increase productivity
44
but a piece of ssat is just a
numerical pirce of info
45
data on its own doesnt mean
much
46
data on its own dont mean much so to make sens of our big data what do we do
data mining
47
what is data minig
process of using software to analyse vast quantities of data to look for patterns and generate organisational learning
48
using dtaa mingin mean we cna start to
draw conclusions that may be useful for our bs
49
data ming/data can be used for
analysis prior peformance i.e daily sales rev to predict furture performance idenitfy casue and effect - can help make a distinciton beteen correlation and casusation - if i put one thing on sale and affects another , i know not to do this in the future to max sales
50
the more date we;ve got
the more likely we are to wokr our if something is a correlation or causation
51
we can also use datt mining to undertake
plannin
52
expain dtata minig to undertake plannign
e.g descision trees CPA require infor to be put in , data mini ghelp us put info into models which is useful as helps us make better desciions in the future
53
give example sof useful q datat minig can solve
how many applications recieved after adv is in x newpaper and how many people did we accept what affect does cold weather have on stoc how many click throughs did our pop up ad generate hwen is was blue comared to green
54
how can data mining help teh - applicatino recied on x newspper and how many did we selct
whats effcetive HR recruitment and spendign
55
how cna dat ainign help how maby click throughs did our adv get when blue comp to green
so look at what consumers respond to better to to increase sales and increase mkt share and compete what is more effective
56
explain data mingi with what effect does cold weather have on stock
if change weather forecast fashion rettailer may have to rder more coats based on previous experience
57
tell me what the bottom line of data mingi is
helps us find answer enabling us to make better desciison in the future
58
how do amazon use data minig to create a comp adv

67

78
digital rech is a massive
area of growthq
79
speed of which digital tech is improving is
increasing
80
give me 5 internal pressures to adopt digital tech
