MAIN BODY
Compare between positive and negative aspects of an individual and organisation for being
online and offline
Digital age in the world start with the come of information technology through which data
and information are easily transferred by organisation from one place to another. In simple terms,
the complete of operations and functions through engagement of automated machine, internet
and technology refers to perform projects with help of digital age. Moreover, for all organisation
such as Rowlinson Knitwear is able to complete their work in proper manner by organising the
work and task as per priority. Example- production department manufacture only required units
through analysing the number of inventory with help of software (Suler, 2016). It results this is
easy for management to complete all work as per time and with optimize utilisation of resources.
Online explanation- This refers to the method through which individual buy products and
services with help of online sites, application or E-commerce area. It also used by organisation
for managing sale of its products by using methods of online techniques that directly increases
market share for business. From the perspective of Rowlinson Knitwear online methods work an
effective way for its market area through approaching more number of customers.
Positive points of online methods

 Reduce overhead- The main advantage of an online venture is to perform their work
through use of low cost structure as respective organisation need not to invest in retail
space and hire of new employees. From perspective of individual it is beneficial for
completion of cost through buying products from there convenient place.
 Large market area- Digital age provides common platform to all business aspects
which enhance market size for business to target global customers (Stephen and
Edwards, 2017). So both for organisation and individual online method work as a
positive point because a lot of options are available in market to buy a product or
service.
Negative
 Higher returns- The number of returns is high because individuals are not able to get
right product or service it is because customers are not delivered right products they
wanted or it may be break at time of shipment. For Rowlinsion Knitwear it work as
negative aspects as return of product make decrease in sale of products.
 Intangibility of products- In present scenario, it is used for making longer results in
make of complete of work in making better products which provides directly that
provides better stock and recorder. Small business also offering better audience and
products quality so it directly impacts on organisational goals.
Offline explanation- With offline techniques organisation perform their work through
managing and completing its work by use of simple methods such as free publicity, networking,
endorsement, shops etc. which is used for make a transaction between customer and products
seller.
Positive
 Tangible products- The major advantage related with offline products includes various
opportunity as per personal connection in order to boost business that provides loyalty to
complete work in proper manner (Stacy and Cain, 2015). Moreover, with offline store it
is easy to perform work with positive approach.
 Organisation of work- Another important aspect for organisation relates with business
under which task are performed as per right and accurate aspects. In this company is also
able to work with right approach that leads to select right areas by managing its work in
right manner.

Negative
 Bad experience- There are various centre related with business that is offering better
and effective product quality to complete all work in proper manner. But at time of
purchasing organisational products it is identified sometimes employees does not
behave right employees which impact on customers.
 Limited work area- With limited aspects of work it is identified that management is
not able to perform all task properly because of limited space. This results it is complex
for organisation to manage retail stores at different place without use of digital
technology.
According to the present market conditions the work is divided into two different
perspective through which organisation are completing their task (Smith, 2018). Tradition and
modern approach are two methods for managing and completing the work. In these the tradition
approach refers to manage business with offline methods such as retail outlets, supermarket and
open of shop. On the other side, modern approach refers to complete of work by determining
those aspects that are electronic and digital. E-commerce, website, blogs, application etc. are
some key aspects of completing work with modern approach. In simple terms online and offline
are two phase for completion of a particular or similar task. There are various operations and
functions managed by business which is leading business area to gain better results such as
increase in sale of products and services through completing work as per right approach that
provides long term benefits to organisation. In the present scenario, all functions and operations
are completed with help of individual and organisation departments through performing their
work as per online and offline business.
Skilled as well as professional employees are able to perform organisation task with more
efficiency and effectiveness. Along with this with perspective of digital age it is also identified
that management is leading better results through implementing right techniques which support
work areas to complete all task in effective manner. Individual and organisation both perform
different roles and responsibilities due to which its task with another approach due to which its
task and objectives are not able to complete work in an organised manner. It also refers that due
to low skills and objectives management generates inappropriate results and to deal with them
individuals must adopt professional skills to integrate better results by performing work as per
right strategy (Peters and Roberts, 2015). Networking and cold calls are important skills that

must be adopted by organisation for performing all work in effective manner. On the other side,
print application and advertise of trade shows that are related with business helps to complete all
work in right manner. These both are different from each other and perform work as per decided
policy which relates with organisational work but in context of Rowlinson Knitwear it is
identified that management must complete its task in proper manner but due to ineffective
workforce it is complex to achieve right task (Nkuebe, 2017). For this it is also identified with
right work policy organisation also transfers right results which enhance work areas to make
longer results. With work perspective it is identified that management is completing different
task print advertisement that make work as per campaign better in industry.
Challenges and measure of security and privacy of individuals and business task at time of online
business
In the present scenario, Internet is one of the fastest way that is connecting with world, but
unfortunately is safest one. The internet also full scams and gambles security risk. Most internet
user are least bothered to provide better privacy related with online that make unaware of
plausible risk associate with management. With digital age it is also provided by organisation as
per managing risk that provide important and secretive task like making online goals which
provides online task to share right information. But there are various task are also performed by
management some of the major issue that makes challenges as per online privacy.
Spying and snooping
There are various task managed by business as per making and proposes. Trackers makes
a record for use of search history. It is also providing better clear picture to analyse all interest.
From the perspective of Rowlinson Knitwear it is identified that there are various task and
operations managed by business to understand interest of individuals which works as a policy
that provides better revenue for firms. This all policies work with motive of gathering right
information in which organisation offers value in making better accordance that provides longer
results in making activities and property that offers right results in making advertise to offer right
according as per right task and interest (Mills, 2015). Moreover, there are various information is
provided as per existence to make online classes. With this information provided by cyber cells
also used by Rowlinson Knitwear to check all task all available sources are authenticate.
Information mishandling

There are various sites present in the internet which required personal information for
gain better access of individuals. Most of the data and information is recorded in cookies which
is used for save of personal information and to used it for fulfil of various purpose. Various time
information is not available in right manner and it impacts on various consequences that impacts
on information. All business whether small or large relates stores large amount of information
which is related with employees, customers and other stakeholder of organisation. Along with
this all task and functions performed by Rowlinson Knitwear is more due to which its functions
and operations are not performed in proper manner because management perform all task and
projects through offline methods (Goldie, 2016). So now at time of online and updating its
business it is identified that business and individual operations is messed at time of implementing
new methods.
Location tracking
Most of the internet user update their information constantly on social media which also
post and highlight organisation current location at time of tagging friends and family members.
This also refers that due to fun and exciting event share as well as life events that due to this
informational data is impacted as data and information provided by individuals is impacted
because information is worldwide and it impacts on overall audience. Moreover, at some place
while updating any post consent is required and it is mostly related with social media so this
results unintentionally individual consent about information to utilise it various places. Google
plays application is an example of tracking location related information. Example- Turing on
location is one of type of approval to provide information about the movement of individual that
is risky as well as insecure.
From the perspective of Rowlinson Knitwear the above points is generating negative impact on
organisation and its goals. This refers that there are various task is impacting on business goals
and objectives it determines that due to make right information and its impacting on offering
right data as per social site so to make better access information as per it is identified to make
and analyse of certain risk and insecure. Some ways which is identified by to protect work as per
privacy of online data. Use of VPN it is identified that ways of protecting better results through
make of successful ways of tunnel and online activities that provides better information as per
online existence (Crisp, 2015). With conduct safe browsing it is identified to track activities that
make system as per version that is using reading privacy policies that makes consent to complete

work anti-virus system is used by management that make programs in which identify of work
that is providing as per update of information in which essential makes right results in which
identification of results in making personalization and tracking of all individual and organisation
to work with right approach.
Difference between blog and website and tools used for create a blog
Blogs are a type of website and it is a web page that provides regular information and
small group. It also provides formal and conversational data which makes better results only
difference between blog and website is that blog provides frequently update content that provides
better information as per static in order to complete all work with right information. On the other
side, website is a set of related information web page that is located under a single domain name.
The definition of website refers to a page and collection of page that is provided by an individual
to track all information as per utilising uniform resource locator system (Boss and Krauss, 2014).
Some points which show difference between blog and website is mention as follow:
 The first difference between blog and website is that blog provides updated information
on regular basis. Whereas, website are more static and it is designed or organised as per
pages.
 Website are large in size and most of the times it undertakes more aspects that provides
large information for fulfilling enquires at universal level. On the other side, blogs are
written for personal journals and it undertakes information related with specific
information.
 The another difference between blog and website is that information, data and design of
website is large and it undertakes various information but blog only provides content
information which is relevant with authors.
Tools used for creating a blog
There are various tools used by individual which provides better information and tool
related with blog that provides better information to complete work in proper manner. Designer
templates, social tools, creative art etc. are some of effective tools to create and generate
effective blog content. Wix 9.8, square space and site 123 are mostly common used platform
which helps to write a unique blog that attract more individuals to read the content. Along with
this site 123 provides various tools which provides better place to write a blog (Aksal, 2015).
Customised design assistance, prioritizing simplicity and a platform of active user is one of the

most effective tools that is designed in making better goals and objectives to use all information
and demonstrate in a way that describe all useful content so customers are aware about whole
data that exist in market. Example- WordPress is a name that is commonly used between blogger
who just started to write a new blog.
Can blog be a communication tool? Justify your answer
It might sound that easy or simple to write a blog but it is a complex task to work as per a
right blog because in present scenario, blog works as an effective tool for interacting with
individuals. Rowlinson Knitwear is operating its business within UK premises only so it’s
products items is not in top search. Therefore, blogging work as an effective tool which is used
for introducing products among various searches. Blog is also used by management to make use
of technology within an appropriate manner. Information technology that is used by organisation
is beneficial for managing and consulting better results as it not enough to undertake all
information but it is also useful that management use all information for make of right results. In
terms of blogging as a communication tool the word appropriate technology stand for implement
of proper amount of tools and energy that must be accomplish to complete task at right time by
providing right information to right individuals (Fraillon and et. al., 2014). Moreover, blogs is an
effective method that is used for generating awareness from organisational perspective through
use of knowledge amount and project communication that support person to use the blog which
start with promotion of products. Therefore, with the analysis of blog and its use by organisation
for make better results for individual helps to attract and influence more number of customers
through providing right information about organisational products. With the analysis about
information and personal thoughts it is identified that blogging is working as a modern tool that
is related with writing, listening and presenting skills helps to transfer information to all
individuals in demonstrating right way to improve overall productivity of organisation.
CONCLUSION
In the last, with the above information it is concluded that professional skill plays an
important role in the digital era. Almost all organisation are performing their work with help of
technological skills with this is used in making longer results through use of positive and
negative aspect for a business. Online and offline methods are used for completing work as per
business with right age. Challenges and measures are also faced by management through which
