Assignment: Business Report

You are required to write a business report individually on the given topic following the instructions given below. You need to read the scenario and the task carefully prior to writing the report.

Scenario:

Brick and Mortar, and e-businesses each hold their own significance in today's tech savvy marketplace. With the invention of various e-commerce platforms or marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, shopify, etc., businesses worldwide have witnessed a boom in economic activities. E-businesses go beyond the geographical boundaries and offer unparalleled ease and opportunities to browse a range of products at anytime from anywhere while brick and mortar businesses foster customers' trust and loyalty as they get a chance to touch and feel the product before making any purchase decisions. Where both the types of businesses have pros and cons, a young entrepreneur gets confused about which one is a better option for him/her to start an entrepreneurial venture. Hence, there is a need to investigate which business option is more sustainable in today's technically advanced marketplace.
