Choose a large Australia-wide retailer that:
• sells products to consumers in multiple Australian states; • has physical ('brick-and-mortar') stores; • also supports online purchasing; • has a web site where you can search for products (and purchase them).
For example, Harvey Norman, OfficeWorks, Myer, Dominos Pizza, JB HIFI, Woolworths, David Jones, Apple, and many others.
Write a 1500 word report (+/- 10%) that:
• Identifies and discusses the sales goals and objectives that this retailer has for online sales, and for store-based sales. (If you cannot find these details for your retailer via online searches, then discuss what you think their goals and objectives should be.) • Identifies and discusses the tools this retailer uses, or could use, to analyse and understand the competitive environment in which they operate. • Analyses the role of strategic alignment between goals and objectives and the technology that facilitates the achievement of these objectives. How could alignment be improved? • Discusses the benefits of data management for your retailer. • Discusses why it is important for this retailer to adopt web2 and web3 technologies. Give examples. • Discusses the threats that this retailer faces due to this complex and dynamic technological environment. Include examples.
