The role of technology in fostering e commerce business growthSnehaDas60
The retail sector has gone through tremendous changes in the last ten years. We have also seen a significant hike in the growth of e-commerce industries. The industry has recorded humongous sales figures and increased demand.
According to the e-commerce development stats, worldwide e-commerce sales had reached 4.1 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide in 2020, and it will continue this whooping growth with $5 trillion in 2022.
We have to say that that e-commerce potential is undeniable. The industry has helped many businesses as well as the country in boosting economies. Its applications are diverse and encapsulate almost every business and sector.
Let’s see how this technology is fostering e-commerce growth in society,,,

As our 2016 Retail Future Trends Report revealed, 2016 was once again a year of innovation amid a
competitive time for retailers that are online, offline and moving into the omnichannel realm. Mobile,

customer experience.
Consumers still are focused on a retailer’s website for product research; however, as this Top 100
report illustrates, they’re also increasingly using smartphones and other mobile devices.
The trends data revealed 35 percent of consumers believe it is very important for a retailer to have
both a brick-and-mortar and online presence. That consumer expectation may be a big reason

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

AIMIA RESEARCH FINDINGS • MAY 2012
RESEARCH CONDUCTED BETWEEN
SEPTEMBER 2011 AND JAN 2012
SPONSORS:
2. Foreword
On behalf of AIMIA, it’s my pleasure to be involved in the publishing of our second independent
research report in an ongoing series: Australian Retail Adoption Plans for Online Media and
E-tailing.
There is much published in Australia about the growing adoption of e-tailing by consumers and
the impact of international e-tail competition, however, this is not the focus of this report. Our
research looks at tracking what Australian retailers themselves are doing about adopting and
evolving their “omni-channel” offering. The research aims to give retailers and our members an
independent benchmark by which to assess their own business priorities and opportunities in
this space.
This year’s research shows, as expected, growing adoption rates across the board for
interactive, digital and e-tail services as retailers reorganise resources to focus more attention
on the digital consumer, but also highlights the internal resourcing and cultural barriers that are
hampering more rapid successful implementation. The stark reality for the industry is there
are precious few senior, experienced “client side” personnel in Australia – meaning most retail
organisations are learning as they go. This places Australian retailers at a disadvantage, when
experienced international retailers enter Australia – either directly through stores or simply
through online marketing to Australian audiences.
I’d like to thank the people within AIMIA, the ACRS and our sponsor organisations for the work
that has been done to bring this important research work to fruition in 2012.

3. Executive summary
The current state of online retailing and marketing in Australia
• 75% of all retailers (large and small) now have an online presence and 43% are selling online.
• 88% are advertising online (even without a website).
• Retailers are using a wider variety of digital channels/tools with email, social, video and mobile
growing rapidly over the last year.
• Almost a third of retailers are leveraging social media, but there is still uncertainty as to how to
extract maximum value from it.
• Mobile e-tailing is embryonic for most, perceived as expensive – but having huge growth
potential.
• Retailers are using their TV resources to create content – not just ads.
• SEO, email and SEM are the most popular forms of online promotional strategies.
The current barriers to online channel entry/growth
• Internal expertise, organisational culture, systems integration, and supply chain management
continue to be the biggest barriers to growth.
• Hard to find experienced senior operation staff who know e-tailing (not just technology).
• Consumers are not the problem (they get it and want it).
Retailer digital plans and goals for 2013 and beyond
• 86% of retailers will increase their online budgets to further focus on driving sales (through
both physical and online stores) and building multichannel operational capabilities.
• Retailers are reliant on a wide number of external partners to set & implement strategies.
• Most Australian retailers have accepted e-tailing is not going away.

5. Research overview
To understand online retailing and marketing in Australia, AIMIA engaged Dr Sean Sands from
Monash University’s The Australian Centre For Retail Studies.
Qualitative research was first performed, consisting of 20 interviews with large Australian retailers.
This was followed by an online survey of 169 Australian retailers, and compared to a similar 2010
survey of 128 Australian retailers
Respondents represented a cross section of retailers in terms of:
• Size (revenue, number of stores)
• Retail sector
• Respondent division or department
• Structure (Pure online retailers, bricks & clicks, pure bricks & mortar)
• Franchises versus company owned

“
It has become more of a priority for all retailers
to become active in the online and digital space.
Australia has, for a long time, hidden behind
the fact that we’re so far away from everything
... Now with the growth of e-commerce, and
the fact that there’s so many more companies
shipping to Australia from overseas, we can’t hide
behind that anymore.
There’s no boundaries for Australian retailers, we
have to embrace it.

Retailers who have an online presence
Almost a third of retailers are leveraging social media, but there is still
uncertainty as to how to extract maximum value from it.
Retailers are beginning to understand the nature of social media
and its business value.
Social media is being used to engage customers and gather
insights, but not necessarily as a direct sales channel.
It is used primarily for engagement and tracking brand
conversations.
Some retailers fear losing control of their reputation because
they don’t control the messages.
Facebook is the most dominant social network for retailers.
Social media is a work in progress.

9. Smart mobile is being used to make customer interactions easier
Mobile is seen as a key tool being used by consumers – in-store,
for pre-purchase research and location-based information.
Retailers recognise the importance of using mobile micro-sites
or apps to enable customers to easily view and access their web
content, but not all have detailed strategies in this area.
They see mobile as being able to integrate the online channel
further – social media, online, couponing, location-based
information, catalogues.
They believe the link between mobile and social media is
important as consumers also access social media from their
smart phone, but do not have highly developed strategies.
Retailers perceive the cost of creating mobile micro sites as an
inhibitor.
Video is used to bring content, products and processes to life
Fashion, electronics and hardware categories appear to be
strongest in using video, where they can leverage advertising
resources to create content.
Video content is seen as important by most retailers.

10. Multichannel is evolving rapidly
Many of Australia’s larger retailers moving to e-tail enablement
across their product range. David Jones announced in April
2012, that they are embarking on a major project to be able to
photograph up to 90,000 products and make them available as
part of their E-tail strategy.

11. Use of online throughout the Consumer Decision
Making Process
Online capabilities are changing as capability increases
There are varying degrees of online capability amongst retailers, with a spectrum from:
Informational
• Retailers offer the online channel for information, such as store locators and product
information.
• Retailers at this stage of adoption tend to either see transactional capabilities as too difficult
or as sufficient for their customers, i.e. their product categories do not lend themselves to
online transactions.
• These retailers tend to focus on rudimentary objectives and measures for online, such as
website traffic numbers.
Fully integrated and transactional
• These retailers strive to manage integrated multiple channels to deliver seamless information,
education, purchase, support, and even entertainment across platforms.
• These retailers are beginning to look at conversion, contributing brand metrics and ROI.
The primary role of a retailer’s website is advertising, but other uses
are developing as capability increases

The barriers & enablers
to growth online
“
In the next 18-24 months, the online landscape
is going to be significantly different to what it
looks like today.
At the moment, there are not that many big
brands trading online, and I guess the consumer
is probably thinking, “Why isn’t X brand or Y
brand online?”
It’s exciting that some major players are now
making the decision to venture into the online
space ... it’s going to give consumers more
confidence to shop online.

17. Strategy development
Overall, organisations are placing greater priority on the online channel
Retailers are placing greater priority on:
Resources: especially people – some retailers are moving
towards creating a multichannel division. However, there are
significant problems in securing experienced skilled staff for
online e-tailing.
Systems: mainly backend and support infrastructure. Retailers
are thinking more deeply about multichannel integration, as
opposed to stand alone e-tail businesses.
Budgets are being allocated, but this tended to be tied to short
term marketing/ sales performance.
Organisational structure is evolving
The composition of the digital/ online team within an
organisation differed across retailers.
Savvy retailers were looking to recruit multichannel directors/
managers and also attempting to create cross-functional teams.
Sometimes a stand alone unit had been created within the
organisation, with the common reporting line to general
management.
Often the structure remained within the marketing team.
Support typically still sits within marketing, but in some instances
it lies with senior management.

The reality is, businesses that don’t embrace
online in the next 12-24 months won’t have
a business in the long run.
Executives in most organisations are now
realising that they need to be online. And
it’s not good enough just to have a presence
nowadays ...
Consumers out there have an expectation,
and unless you are serious about it, they’re
going to work out pretty quickly that you’re
not serious about the channel and they
won’t engage with you. Ultimately that will
affect your bricks and mortar business.
