BACKGROUND NOTES:
The Case Assignment involves your understanding of the e-business sector as a component of the information technology revolution currently under way. As usual, we've identified some salient sources that will be of help to you in forming this understanding. The question at hand is basically where all this is going, and what the effects are likely to be. Forecasting the future is always a risky proposition; if it weren't, there would be a whole lot more Mark Zuckerbergs out there riding their visions to billionaire-hood. Of course, figuring out that things are likely to change and figuring out exactly how to monetize some small piece of that change process for your own benefit are rather different things. Let's start with the simpler aspect; based on where you see the world of e-commerce today as part of the overall information technology management domain, where's the potential for future development? Certainly it would be silly to presume that within the last 5 to 10 years we've managed to figure out everything possible to do in the economic domain with electronic interaction. So we know there will be change; the question is what, where, and with what effects.
The format for your assignment for this paper is a little different from that for the first two modules. There, you were essentially instructing point/counterpoint arguments relative to a particular proposition. This assignment calls for a more open-ended approach. Essentially, you're doing some forecasting about the future of the electronic economy. If you do this well enough, maybe you will be the next Mark Zuckerberg—or maybe not. At any rate, give it a shot. Obviously, there are no clear right or wrong answers to this question; we don't have a list in mind of things that we expect you to come up with, except in the most general sense. It's your job to make a case for your forecast. It's not enough just to say "I think that X will happen"; you have to say rather precisely what X is, what it will do for people, why people might be persuaded to use it, and what sort of individual and societal effects it might be expected to have. This involves going to your sources, finding supporting evidence, and developing each of your ideas logically. Futurology is not just blue-sky theorizing or speculative science fiction; while time travel and matter transmutation might be expected to have major economic effects, I doubt you could develop a reasonable argument saying that they're likely to happen within the next decade. And a lot of people have gone broke trying to forecast the future of information technology. On the other hand, there have always been long-term trends that have enabled a lot of people to develop ideas that worked; for example, Moore's Law seems to be still operating. So as you do your reading, try to think about these trends, project from where we are now to what seems reasonable, even if it's a bit adventurous, and make the best arguments you can. We'll be evaluating your arguments, not necessarily waiting around to find out if your vision comes true.___________
***NOTE- As we noted before, if you don't really pay attention to this material, it's really unlikely that you can write an acceptable paper on the topic below, let alone an exceptional one. We spend quite a lot of time trying to identify useful sources for you that bear on our topics for analysis; while we strongly encourage you to conduct your own further research and identify additional useful sources, this should be an add-on to the basic material rather than a substitute for it.

Developments in E- business by the year 2020
Name:
Institution:
In the modern world, the nature and type of businesses operated differ greatly with what used to be decades ago. Business transactions are now more efficient and the management has also been enhanced. The efficiency in business has been brought about by the evolution of technology over the years and it is expected to continue changing the business sector. However, although the technology has positive impacts on business, there are some drawbacks that may cause businesses massive losses and even bankruptcy. As the businesses expect to make more revenue in future, there is also a need to be cautious on the risk of losing more money. There are various developments that are expected to affect e-business by the year 2020. There will be developments in cyber infrastructure, marketing channels and nature of the products sold. The developments have their positive and negative impacts on the e-business.
Cyber infrastructure is a key player in e-business and its development is expected to influence more consumers to shop online (Winter, 2012). This will have an impact on the economic, social and legal aspects. The number of consumers purchasing products will be more thus companies will create more revenue from the sale of the products (Barret, 201). The economic development will not only be experienced by the businesses but the society at large due to the increase in government revenue. A good economy has a positive social impact on the society since it enhances the welfare (Pihir, 2013). Besides, the social amenities will improve. However, the development will have an adverse impact on the businesses due to hacking of the systems (Cohen, 2014). The finances of the business especially will be at risk of hacking from criminals and this may lead to huge losses to the company. The legal costs of the businesses may increase due to the likely increase in criminal activities.
Marketing is one of the essential tools for e-business. The development in marketing will affect the volumes, quality and prices of goods sold. The consumers will have access to a large pool of similar commodities (Soper, 2012). The consumers will be favored by the development in markets since the efficiency will be enhanced. The increased competition in the market will pressure the businesses to improve the quality and price of the commodities. This will improve the well-being of the society. The nature of advertising will also change due to the changes in consumers preferences (Tinnila & Lauraeus, 2005). The delivery of the products will also be enhanced through the development ...
