has been in preparing for the growing use of e-business. The Organisation I have chosen
for this task is Asda.
Product:
Asda has been successful in preparing for the growth of e-business because they have
responded to the competitive pressure by selling as well not only groceries but also
clothing and furniture. They have created affordable school wear for children so that

profit has risen as well as the amount of customers they now have.
