In this assignment I will be discussing how the government supports the
development of e-business generally. Followed by a personal development plan to
help an individual prepare for increased use of e business.
The government supports E-business in many different ways, they help the business
to develop and run smoothly and efficiently, which in return helps the government
to attain taxes from the businesses and it also helps government as it provides jobs
for many different people. Government has a team of people that are based on
helping businesses to become more profitable and the way they do this is by
promoting better use of ICT. There is an e-business team created by the government
who wants to help businesses to lower business costs, become more advanced and
trade a lot more successfully.

example the optical fibre cable that can transmit data very quickly. This increases
the performance of the internet that assures businesses high speed internet and
does hardly require any maintenance, which does not cause any delays on the
activities of the businesses. Broadband hence helps the organizations to do their
everyday work without any hard, in fact it increases the productivity, and for
example the internet helps to book hotels in other countries as otherwise it
would’ve been very difficult.
As the demand for British goods from online consumers around world is growing
rapidly. The government have negotiated discounted rates for UK retailers and
brands to list their goods on some of the worlds most visited platforms and e-
