2 Good Sports Limited is an independent sports goods retailer owned and operated by two partners, Alan and Bob. Thesports retailing business in the UK has undergone a major change over the past ten years. First of all the supply sidehas been transformed by the emergence of a few global manufacturers of the core sports products, such as trainingshoes and football shirts. This consolidation has made them increasingly unwilling to provide good service to theindependent sportswear retailers too small to buy in sufficiently large quantities. These independent retailers can stockpopular global brands, but have to order using the Internet and have no opportunity to meet the manufacturer’s salesrepresentatives. Secondly, UK’s sportswear retailing has undergone significant structural change with the rapid growthof a small number of national retail chains with the buying power to offset the power of the global manufacturers.These retail chains stock a limited range of high volume branded products and charge low prices the independentretailer cannot hope to match.Good Sports has survived by becoming a specialist niche retailer catering for less popular sports such as cricket,hockey and rugby. They are able to offer the specialist advice and stock the goods that their customers want.Increasingly since 2000 Good Sports has become aware of the growing impact of e-business in general and e-retailingin particular. They employed a specialist website designer and created an online purchasing facility for theircustomers. The results were less than impressive, with the Internet search engines not picking up the companywebsite. The seasonal nature of Good Sports’ business, together with the variations in sizes and colours needed tomeet an individual customer’s needs, meant that the sales volumes were insufficient to justify the costs of runningthe site.Bob, however, is convinced that developing an e-business strategy suited to the needs of the independent sportsretailer such as Good Sports will be key to business survival. He has been encouraged by the growing interest ofcustomers in other countries to the service and product range they offer. He is also aware of the need to integrate ane-business strategy with their current marketing, which to date has been limited to the sponsorship of local sportsteams and advertisements taken in specialist sports magazines. Above all, he wants to avoid head-on competitionwith the national retailers and their emphasis on popular branded sportswear sold at retail prices that are below thecost price at which Good Sports can buy the goods.Required:(a) Provide the partners with a short report on the advantages and disadvantages to Good Sports of developingan e-business strategy and the processes most likely to be affected by such a strategy.

As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and?dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a?credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what?they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.
Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a?way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces?of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant?dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have?credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental?company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return?the car and pay for using it.
Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to?carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate?pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With?credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of?what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.

B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged.
C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.

Help customers solve a problem. As perfectly stated on Hubs pot,“You”re in business because you provide solutions.”Some of the ways you can help customers solve a problem is by: creating how-to-content; offering exclusives that make their lives easier; listening to them or answering their questions; or creating APPs or tools.
Let customers interact. No matter the product or service you’re offering, your
customers want to interact with your company, or at least other customers. AMC, for example, created an online tool that allowed you to write down your imaginations.
