organizational capabilities….

using e-Commerce technologies.
Why Study Digital Business?
• In early 1994, B2C e-Commerce as we know it did not exist.
• 26 years later, nearly 5 Billion internet users around the globe
spent more than US$ 4.1 trillions (retail e-commerce sales)
• Global B2B e-Commerce market value of US$12.2 trillion in 2019
(Statista) and expected to reach US$ 20.9 trillion in 2027
(Research and Markets)
• Migration Trends from physical to digital accelerated by Covid-19
Pandemic (Retail, Banking, Healthcare, Insurance, Entertainment,
etc.)
• Digital Platforms will create growth opportunities and continue
relentless disruption of existing business models and innovation
through novel Digital Business Models.

Will the professor find out I didn’t write the paper myself?

Not at all. All papers are written from scratch. There is no way your tutor or instructor will realize that you did not write the paper yourself. In fact, we recommend using our assignment help services for consistent results.

What if the paper is plagiarized?

We check all papers for plagiarism before we submit them. We use powerful plagiarism checking software such as SafeAssign, LopesWrite, and Turnitin.

We would not take the risk of submitting plagiarized work and jeopardize your academic journey. Furthermore, we do not sell or use prewritten papers, and each paper is written from scratch.

When will I get my paper?

You determine when you get the paper by setting the deadline when placing the order. All papers are delivered within the deadline. We are well aware that we operate in a time-sensitive industry. As such, we have laid out strategies to ensure that the client receives the paper on time and they never miss the deadline.
