Alibaba have come out a new digitalized grocery shopping, called Hema. With this innovation, customers can buy their daily grocery when ever they want through Hema application. In the app, the customers can choose various types of groceries they want, from the fresh vegetables to different kind of beverages, customers can even find seafoods in it. One of the reason customer choose to buy their grocery in Hema is, Hema provides the freshest vegetables and milk every day, all fresh goods are being prepared on the current day. If the customers have any questions on the products, they can easily get their answer by just scanning the product, those information about the product will immediately come out through the app. When the customers are done their shopping, they will pay their bills by using Ali pays, this payment method do not require any cash or credit card, it connected to their bank account and bill straight deduct from their bank account. For the couch potatoes or the busy workers, they can purchase their grocery without being present in the Hema warehouse. This is because Hema provides direct delivery to the customers, they can deliver the goods within 30 minutes after they check out from their cart, this saves a lot of time and energy. Hema have help the citizens to live a more convenient and modern life.

The similartities between Hema and Amazon Go is they are cashier-less in their shopping, the customer doesnt need to que up and pay their groceries. Other than that, the pay their bills by their respectively oline payment method, they do not need to pay their bills by using cash. On the other side, the difference between both companies are Hema provides direct delivery service to the customers, but Amazon doesnt have that service. Moreover, anything that customers pick up is automatically added to the virtual cart, but Hema doesnt have that advance technology.

1. How has Alibaba digitalized grocery shopping experience.

In this new era, people around the world are developing the way they are doing business along with the improvement in technology. Alibaba is one of it. One example that we are going to talk about is Hema, a digitized supermarket brought by this big company in China. Basically, the store is helping their customers in  ease of shopping. The matter that they focus on is about how to make people buy their stuffs even though at the same time they are lazy to go out and lining up to pay at cashiers. In hema customers can buy their stuffs only by scanning and pay it through their smartphone with the barcode that provided and then they can just leave the item until a worker will bring it to a machine that located at the ceiling of the store, and later on it will guide them to a delivery system which in the end the item will be arrived at the buyers home, that simple.

2. Having listened to Alibaba, read up on Amazon and state any similarities or differences between Alibaba and Amazon.

Not only in China, another superpower country, America, has its own "Big Shot", and Amazon is the one. After i read and watched few articles and videos related to Amazon, i concluded that the way it does the business is pretty similar with Alibaba. It has its own kind of supermarket where the company provides an application so people can scan and pay through online in the shop. With many workers who's ready to help customers whenever they face any problem with their program, or even to prevent any irresponsible buyer who can do any unbelievable action any time. However, from the progress we can see that Amazon still facing some problem with their own system compared to Alibaba. Amazon grocery store even still requires people to bring their own stuffs while Alibaba doesn't. The major difference that we can see is the market capitalization between both of companies. Alibaba tend to widen their market across China first and on the other hand Amazon just directly spreading their wing across the globe. Perhaps it is due to the Amazon experience which already in a really long history doing online business since they were only an online bookstore, but i believe if Alibaba can give more in near future.

1) Alibaba has digitalised shopping experience by creating grocery shopping at the end of your fingertips using technology such as your smart phones. The modern grocery shopping introduce by Alibaba has made grocery shopping fun by picking and choosing the products you want to buy or look for with the personalised shopping feed/ shopping cart on the application. This does not only  help the customers get what they need but it also saves time.
Other than that, customers also can scan a product in Hema's store to get more information such as the ingredient, where they are from and so forth. The way Alibaba has created this kind of grocery shopping experience shows the inclining rate of intelligence in  technology that makes consumers have less need of going out to buy groceries physically. Consumers also wont need to worry about the quality of the product because all the products are ensured fresh daily. Moreover, their deliveries can be reached within 30 minutes with a radius of 3k from the store. This is a plus because its not time consuming rather than you driving your car then to find a parking to eventually think about petrol next.
Another advantage of Hema store in China is that you can have people cook for you in store by just choosing any products such as live king crabs or even some fresh beef.

2) the similarities of Alibaba and Amazon is that both are internet based retailing/ commerce business.

The difference between Alibaba and Amazon is that, According to Jack Ma on CNBC, he mentioned that Amazon is an empire that controls what are being sold and shared with third- party companies. While Alibaba on the other hand is creating an ecosystem to empower others to sell, service and helping small businesses using Alibaba's technology and partners they can compete with other bigger companies such as Microsoft and IBM. Jack Ma believes that with the power of internet and technology everyone can become Amazon.

According to Forbes.com (2018), Amazon famously does not share data with third-party sellers or brands because Amazon wants to generate revenue and compete with their partners. Alibaba, on the other hand, shares this data with brands to empower them to make more sales using Alibaba's platform. In its most basic form, Amazon acts as a retailer whilst Alibaba acts a platform.

Its very convenient because if the customers have questions about the product, they can just grab their mobile phone and scan the product on the app and read the details of the product. Theres also alot of recommendations about the product at alibaba on the app. Other than that, if people are not in the mood to cook at home, the cookers there can help to cook and we eat there on the spot. Last but not least, you can also buy the products online.

The mobile app allows consumer to buy and order groceries online, thus consumer don’t have to go to the actual place to buy the groceries.

Hema, a chain of supermarkets owned by Alibaba Group, have changed people with their shopping experience. Hema created mobile apps just to ease shoppers’ experience when they are shopping in the supermarket or at home. Shoppers’ can purchase items anywhere and deliver to anywhere they wanted using the mobile apps created. In store, when shoppers’ have any questions about the product they are getting, they can scan the QR code on the price tag with the mobile apps and the information about the product will be shown on the apps.

2. Having listened to Alibaba, read up on Amazon and state any similarities or differences between Alibaba and Amazon.

The two ecommerce titans have many features in common. A major portion of Amazon’s revenue comes from electronic products and merchandise and digital media content. On the other hand, Alibaba operates on a number of ecommerce sites aimed at different types of sellers. Alibaba’s Taobao is one of Alibaba group’s most profitable marketplaces and is responsible for more than 80% of Alibaba’s sales. Even though the mode of operation of both companies looks similar at first glance, they are quite different. Alibaba isn’t involved in direct sales and does not own any warehouses like Amazon. They simply help small businesses and branded manufacturers reach consumers. Amazon operates on a managed online platform that looks similar to a traditional store but stays online. It exercises control over customer experience. Alibaba looks profitable, but the company is facing strong barriers in finding new customers and adapting to new economies. Amazon has already recognised the fact that to compete with Alibaba in China, they need to invest a huge amount of money and has pivoted away from China to focus on other prominent regions.

Throughout my research, I can say that the similarity between Alibaba and Amazon is that both companies have the same motive which is to let the consumers purchase any items through a mobile application. However, there are also differences between Alibaba and Amazon. In Alibaba’s Hema, they have a system where consumers need to checkout if they want to pay for their groceries comparing to Amazon Go, consumers only need to check in through an app to do any grocery shopping in the store. Other than that, Alibaba is mostly located in China and Amazon’s presence is mostly located in the States.

Firstly, Alibaba digitalized grocery shopping experience by introducing a Mobile App to the customers. This makes shopping much easier with only a few taps on the phone instead of having to drive all the way to the mall for groceries and stuff. Alibaba not only supports online shopping, it also delivers to your house in just as short as thirty minutes. This in a way can attract a lot of people who need the groceries very soon.
Activity 2
The similarities of Alibaba and Amazon is that both use Mobile App for people to purchase things. However, the difference between Amazon and Alibaba is that Amazon is a massive retailer for both new and used goods, and Alibaba operates as a middleman between buyers and sellers

1. They are simply following the consumers' needs because the consumers demand on-spot, instant, available products near where they live and work.Every time you walk into a store, they can recognize you. If you don't want to take the product home by yourself, they can deliver it for you in a very fast way. All of these are enabled by technology. The locations of the stores are also based on big data analysis of the neighborhood: what type of people are living there, and what's their online behavior. So they can decide the best location to open the stores.The offer to cook and prepare the fresh produce and seafood is a different experience. In restaurants, some of the ingredients may not be so fresh, but in Hema, people can watch them prepare and cook the fresh ingredients you just bought. Alibaba have imported seafood, seasonal fruit and fresh vegetables. And its business goes beyond just putting fresh produce in a bag, weighing it and putting a price tag on it, Hema also offers services to prepare and cook the fresh food for customers.

2. Amazon is a massive retailer for both new and used goods, and Alibaba operates as a middleman between buyers and sellers.Amazon also maintains a subscription-based business model through its Amazon Prime service as well as a small electronics product line. Under a Prime account, customers pay an annual fee to secure free two-day or same-day shipping on eligible items and have access to streaming media, such as digital music or movies.In addition to direct sales, Amazon provides a platform for other retailers to sell products to buyers. Products sold through Amazon's partner retailers are often less common items or those with a higher purchase price, allowing Amazon to avoid holding slow-moving inventory that could dilute profit. While Amazon does not assess a fee for its retailer partners to list items for sale, the company does retain a portion of the sales price as commission.Just as Amazon is known to most American consumers as an e-commerce titan, China's e-commerce market is dominated by Alibaba. Though the company operates through a unique combination of business models, Alibaba's core business resembles that of eBay. Alibaba acts as a middleman between buyers and sellers online and facilitates the sale of goods between the two parties through its extensive network of websites.Rather, the nearly 7 million active sellers on Taobao pay to rank higher on the site's internal search engine, generating advertising revenue for Alibaba that resembles Google's core business model.In addition to its e-commerce sites, Alibaba has emerged as a competitor in the Chinese financial system. To combat customer concerns over the security and validity of transactions completed online, Alibaba created Alipay. As a secure payment system, Alipay protects buyers in the event sellers are unable or refuse to deliver goods sold. In addition to its PayPal-like platform, Alibaba also generates revenue from its newly launched micro-lending business arm that caters to individual borrowers.

1)Alibaba's push for "new retail," or blending online and offline experiences. They have in-store restaurants so shoppers can select live seafood and eat on the spot.Online shoppers receive free delivery within 30 minutes. The combination of a user-friend app and barcodes on all items provides merchandise information, including sourcing, brand heritage, price points and nutritional value. In a country that's becoming a wallet-free society, you can purchase with Alipay, the Alibaba-affiliated digital payment system that has over 520 million users.
2) While both Alibaba and Amazon collect data from consumers who use their marketplaces as a place to make purchases, the end result behind the data could not be more different. Amazon famously does not share data with third-party sellers or brands as Amazon wants to generate revenue and compete with their partners. Alibaba, on the other hand, shares this data with brands to empower them to make more sales on the Alibaba platform. In its most basic form, Amazon acts as a retailer whilst Alibaba acts a platform. Think of Alibaba's Tmall as a large online mall that provides brands with branded storefronts that are controlled by brands. Alibaba generates most of its revenue from advertising and commissions from sales. As Alibaba is a platform business, the better partner brands do, the better Alibaba does as interests are aligned.
