Digital Business Responses by Ernest Clover https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i Made with eyes on the prize en-us 2017-05-23 15:32:37 UTC 2017-06-02 01:19:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Response to Emily Watson: David Wardle dwardle https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173654427 Hello Emily,

I enjoyed your post about digital business, and using the retail clothes shopping experience as a great medium to describe how digital business is changing up our every day routine.  When I read your article I couldn't help thinking of IOT (Internet of Things) and how pretty soon, everything will be connected, such as a purse or a necklace.  I got a good picture from your description of the shopping experience, and I think it would be great if there was a digital response to how you try things on, or basically infusing the digital views with the physicality of trying on clothes.

Overall, I liked your post, and how it kept it basic and truly explained digital business and how it is expanding every aspect of our lives.]]> 2017-05-24 15:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173654427 Response to “Digital Business : Erica Noye” https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173715618 Ms. Noye,

First I would like to get out of the way, could you please either email or provide the link of the article, I would be interested in reading it, it seems to be something interesting to me. 

Now that is out of the way, I enjoyed your post and thank you for it. 

I agree with you and the article and that also validates the information in my post, that being the fact that there is a definite “digital divide” and it gets wider every day. I enjoy and took note of the four pillars and am going to research them and integrate them into my management skills. Also, it only makes sense that if someone joins the digital space capabilities and those pillars would be successful.

I like the second portion because I know that there is an obvious problem with traditional retailers but I was unaware prior to research that it is largely because of the reluctance to join the digital world.  We all need to learn to change, mold and move quickly to keep up with the world around us.

Thank you for the post!

I can agree with Evans on the fact that digital business is here to stay. I believe it is an exciting prospect, in that it will create new jobs and will make things easier to do at a faster pace. More and more companies should start to follow these "trends" or I fear they will be left behind.]]> 2017-05-25 03:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173750900 Padlet posting confusion https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173755269 Can anyone please explain what I have to do for this assignment?

I really liked the article you picked, about how retail and technology is involving.  I really didn't know some technology that has been happening, such was the projecting on the screen to try on different clothes, very interesting.  

Technology is involving business today as a whole, without the digital world a lot of consumers wouldn't buy things, or even go to certain places to dine. We all need to stay up with technology, as it grows in today's world. ]]> 2017-05-25 15:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173852795 Response to Michelle Harrigan: Eric McGuigan https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173904160 I appreciate the article that you posted, but I tend to disagree with most of what the author wrote. For example:

1. Social media existed before Facebook, and Facebook is currently being challenged by other social media outlets like Instagram. Uber was first, but Lyft feels they can do a better job. I feel the author is missing the point that, like the example of the first pay-at-the-pump gas station, the fact that they pioneered the idea or technology doesn't guarantee they will always stay in first place.

You bring up a very important and interesting point that now that we have entered a digital age, business can either transform or be disrupted.

We live in a world where everything is turning digital. From buying food to ordering packages, More and more is being done online, and less in person. As IT is changing and progressing, businesses must stay at the top of their game and ahead of the competition in terms of how they are doing their business. 

It will be interesting to see what happens in the following years and even decades. I doubt that actual stores will still exist by the time that I retire.]]> 2017-05-25 23:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173916880 Keegan Bailey's Response to Michelle Harrigan https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173936159
Michelle,

It appears that we did our assignment on the same article. I did not preview the other submissions before writing my own, but, being that Google was likely the search engine that everyone in this section used, I'm not surprised that there are some repeat articles. I especially enjoyed how you related it to the study topics in Chapter 2, relating to the impact of "market pressures and technology pressures".

Thank you for your submission,

As a person who loves to learn knew things, I loved reading your post. I never knew there were multiple paradoxes for digital business. I also agree with the end of your post on how learning the basics of IT can be fun and exciting. Knowledge of IT systems is important in my opinion as well considering how much technology has advanced thus far and how much it's continuing to advance.]]> 2017-05-26 05:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/173942604 Response to Wendy Keezer- Chassie Moore https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174012504 In response to your article, I would have to say I completely agree with the information you gave us about how most traditional businesses will be obsolete by 2020. I believe that most companies are not ready and some will never be ready because it takes many steps to get to where they would need to be and some are not financially or have the capabilities to get there.

Similarly, (without even realizing I was doing it) I too viewed digital advancement as a threat to the "little guys" in the business world. It seems that the ones that aren't able to stay afloat are quick to blame their lack of success on the "digital behemoths" out there. When in reality (as you put it) taking speed, efficiency and quality into consideration combined with "customer is always right" mentality would be a start to embracing the digital business world.]]> 2017-05-26 16:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174013285 Response to Jennifer Crane (Morgan Blaine) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174020676 Jennifer, 
The article that you chose was actually quite interesting. 
Globally, technology has become a part of our world and seeing the fact that less than half are unaware is mind boggling. Our generation is more use to the idea of changing technology rather than older generations, however, I feel as if companies are more aware of advancements than anyone. 
It would be interesting to see the arguments as to why they don't see Digital disruption being a thing in the future. 
Interesting read.]]> 2017-05-26 16:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174020676 Response to Arthur Daynes (Morgan Blaine) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174021694 Arthur,
I agree with your statement about how the fast fish are the ones who will succeed. Looking around at everyday life, this is true. 
Netflix, like you said is a huge company and makes millions of dollar every year. Unlike the traditional movie theaters, they have the digital advantage. 
Also, what you were saying about how digital business is about interacting with customers and enhancing the buying experience is true. For one to succeed in digital technology, they have to be able to interact with the customers and make the buying experience as easy as possible. 
Good explanation, interesting article.

I actually read this article before proceeding to find a different article by the same cite. I love that you brought up how critical everyone is when new technology is released, business or not. Our society as a whole expects so much from our new technologies. Look at the advancements that are made and some people still seem to not be happy. I love the 5 technologies the article gave. Virtual reality is a great example they gave. I think this will be great for how customer experience is changed. I see it playing a big role in the future especially in retail, like the article mentioned.]]> 2017-05-26 18:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174032599 Respones to Aubrey Leppek (Alex Brown) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174040395 Aubrey, 
I too struggle with online shopping and trying to find the best prices. I often find myself going to multiple stores and checking multiple websites to ensure that I can still save money. I feel like the internet is an excellant resource, however with everyone competing over prices, it's fairly difficult for the consumer to know which one is truly right for them at the best price available. ]]> 2017-05-26 18:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174040395 Response to David Wardle (Jennifer Crane) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174054292 David, 
Your article brought up a good point, even the strategies used to keep up with innovations can be victims of digital distortion. In many of the articles our classmates have posted and in the textbook, it is almost always mentioned that we need to start using integrate technology across the entire spectrum within the business. Technology can no longer be compartmentalized into the IT department and ALL areas of the business will need to work together.]]> 2017-05-26 21:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174054292 Response to Madelyn Hurley (Vendela Hale) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174054399 I really enjoyed your take on this article, I as well read this article and was attracted to it for similar reasons. I believe it is very insightful and look at the aspects that some might not want to take a look at when it comes to business, as you referred to it the bad and ugly. I like your take on the overall picture of digital transformation, how its about more than the growth of technology but also skill, and leadership. I like how you mentioned  the need for interchangeable and adaptable technology. overall was a nice read. ]]> 2017-05-26 21:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174054399 To whomever wrote "Padlet confusion" in this forum (from Jennifer Crane) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174054696 In Blackboard there is a section on the left titled "Padlet Instructions".

I liked reading your post about the article you read. I have to agree with you when you talk about technology changing everyday and trying to keep up with it. When dealing with customers and keeping them happy you cannot say that you do not have the software to be able to process their order because if you do they will just go somewhere else with their business and then on social media they will let the world know how you were not able to help them and they had to go elsewhere to get you product.

I found your post very interesting. I didn’t know how all of that went into performing dental work. I also didn’t know about all of the benefits that 3-D printing puts into dental work. From your post it did make me want to read the article. I also liked the part about increasing productivity because I go to a dentist and if there more productive that will benefit me as consumer.

I agree that Forbes.com is a large resource for information on the current affairs of business. Technology will become a huge part of business, however i disagree with the article in the fact that nearly all businesses will go digital. Certain trades such as Flooring cannot be done solely by machines as of yet. I also agree that the digital world will never stop growing as humans continue to evolve and grow.]]> 2017-05-26 23:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174057006 Response to Tyler Schingeck (Redha Abu-Rshaid) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174057480 Hello Tyler, 
I would say that you have discussed an interesting article and included a good points in your analysis. The author of the article included few good points. However, I agree with you that companies should always keep up with the new emerging technology in order to stay strong in the business market.

I found your post and the article concerning digital business and dental to be incredibly interesting. I too work in the healthcare field and got to thinking about the innovations in our specialty. Thinking about how healthcare, business, and IT intersect is informational to not just those in the field, but also the patient's who benefit from these innovations. ]]> 2017-05-27 02:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174062775 Cierra's response to Garrett Anthony's post https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174063486 I found your article interesting because they pointed out some good points and good things to look for.

Your article was very interesting and I thought it was quite synonymous to the article that I chose, "Digital disruption has only just begun". It really hit the nail on the head on the notion that business is becoming more and more technology dependent. I think it's interesting that business is starting to be, for companies at least, you either adapt to new technological changes, or be run-over by someone else who will.]]> 2017-05-27 03:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174064471 Response to Brook Andrews https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174064906 John Shuler
I found your post, and related article to be very informative.  Seeing real, applied changes in such an established industry is very interesting.  Cutting out a lab for instance, and producing crowns "in-house", speeds up the process for a patient, and as technology advances may even be cheaper!  You no longer have to pay lab technicians or for transportation costs.   To embrace new technology like that allows for greater customer satisfaction, and may help lead to a larger market share.  As stated, there are companies going out of business, and that business goes elsewhere.

I had the same thought with you when I just started this assignment. I thought any disruption would be negative. But after I had some searches on the internet, I found something interesting about digital business. that was what I had in my post. it is true that the ways of doing businesses are so different now compared to couple decades ago. the businesses have to adopt new technologies and have some changes if they want to survive through this competitive world of business.]]> 2017-05-28 04:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174112408 Response to Aubrey Leppek (Andrew Lovely) https://padlet.com/eclover/5jhup541084i/wish/174906687 Aubrey,

I’m also a huge online shopper and I often have a lot of problems trying to find the lowest price between different stores.  I usually will go to about 4 different stores/websites and compare prices to make sure that I’m not overpaying, but between the ‘flash’ sales and special limited time offers it’s difficult some times to see how much everything all. While I enjoy saving money, it sometimes feels like a game of roulette and seeing things like limited time promotions always popping up in my email turns me off from wanting to buy from them. Having online shopping I think is a great idea, but I think that sometimes having a little more moderation with sales would make it less of a headache for customers.
