24 Hour Society

24 Hour Society

Objective 2

· What is the 24 hour society?

· Describe the growing 24 hour society?

· In special detail explain the reason for the growing number of

E-commerce and 24 hour supermarkets and specialised stores?

Analysis of main elements of the system.

These days extended working hours are not uncommon. The 24 Hour

Society is one in which certain activities are performed around the

clock. The old saying "there is a time and a place for everything" no

longer holds true. This trend is partly driven by the levels of

convenience demanded by consumers, but also enabled by changes in

legislation and the increasing opportunities provided by technological

innovation.

When using the library I will look in books with the most relevancies

to my objectives, for instance I would want to look up why shops

decided to become E-commerce and not just lists of E-commerce shops

although this could also be partly relevant.

Using the Internet will be very difficult for this case study, the

reason for this is because if you search using the keyword

'E-commerce', '24 hour' or '24 hour society' many of the results will

be just online shops with out information of the reasons they become

E-commerce, however some other reports published on the 24 hour

society might be useful.

Interviews will also be quite hard but not impossible. It is not easy

to find someone who has an active role in E-commerce businesses this

is because of the 'junk' on the Internet.
