insights regarding diverse set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store, create
and sharing of the information so that effectual level of strategic decision can be made. In current
era, utilization of the ICT has inclined which has enhanced the efficiency and effectualness so
that formulating the precise & competitive operational practices can be done. The current study
will emphasize on the three topics which is comparing and contrasting between the positive and
negative aspects of services and products being sold online and offline. Identifying privacy and
security challenges and possible measures could be taken in order to get the depth understanding.
Benefits and limitations of implanting chips in the human body will be discussed in the current
report in turn effectual level of the information to get competitive edge can become possible.
MAIN BODY
Comparing and contrasting between the positive and negative aspects of services and products
being sold online and offline
According to Che and et.al., (2020) organization in order to get the effective functioning
in the industry focuses on developing the competitive edge that can benefit in deriving the
effectual level of the performance. For this purposes it establishes the stores and other offline
platforms such as selling through wholesaler, etc. in turn obtaining the precise ability to offer the
reliable kinds of the results can become possible. In order to get the successful it is crucial to
emphasize on developing the competencies in order to attract the customers can become
possible. Offline stores can offer the varied kinds of the products with higher interaction in turn
good organizational performance like brand image, greater sales revenue & profitability, etc can
be derived.
In the current era, for having effective growth & development it is important to pay
attention on having such kinds of the practices that can offer the varied pattern of benefits to
company. This involves having the improved pattern of growth & development by inclining each
to customer. The online platform as well makes easy to get the reliable level of solving of the
feedback related practices so that meeting the goal of higher profitability by creating good brand
image in the market can become possible. This is required to give the relevant feedback so that
meeting the organizational goal of higher profitability and stability can be derived.

On the other side Guillet (2020) articulated that selling the goods and services it becomes
essential to pay attention on developing the reliable actions in turn good organizational growth
and development can be received. Online platform sometimes offer the certain kind of the
lacking areas which is required to be emphasized in order to get the effectiveness. The main
reason behind this is that it offers the higher level of competition so becomes essential to focus
on developing relevant type of the strategies that can decline its related negative influence in turn
achieving the good amount of profitability can become possible. This shows that the firm on
online platform receives the various kinds of the competition that can influence its overall
processing which is considered to be the major drawback.
In views of Sarkar and et.al., (2021) there are certain types of the benefits which can be
derived with help of the traditional platform in turn deriving better outcomes can become
possible. This comprises that higher chances of receiving payment in cash which inclines
organizational liquidity. Delay in payments can be avoided which increases its credibility in
market so that good organizational growth can be derived. Instant selling in order to derive the
reliable organizational growth can be obtained. On the other side, Kim, Kim and Choi (2020) it
can be specified that there re certain drawbacks which is required to be overcome while selling
the goods on offline platform that involves ineffective level of incurring of costs which is
required to be incurred in order to derive the proper performance in overall growth and
development. The main reason behind this is that there is higher requirement of the incurring of
the expenses such as possessing larger number of employees, rent paying, etc. for conducting the
significant operational practices.
There are certain form of the advantages of the online platform which can help in
gaining the competitive benefits which can uplift the position of the organization. There are
certain aspects of the online platform in turn effective progress by the specific organization such
as overcoming the competition, ensuring eliminating of irrelevant kinds of costs, etc so that
meeting the organizational goals such as higher profitability, stability, etc can be derived. On the
basis of this it can be mentioned that there are few forms of the benefits which ensures that
effective pattern of conducting on online platform can be derived. For getting the
competitiveness and effectual progress it is important to coordinate with the prevailing trends
regarding purchasing in turn good organizational growth & development can be received. For
this purpose utilizing the digital platforms such as social media, commercial apps, etc can benefit

the firm. This indicates its growth in market which articulates that it is complying with the
existing trends so that having higher profitability & stability can become possible.
On the other side, for being successful in the particular market it becomes crucial to
develop such processing which can ensure its competitive edge. In contrast to the positive side of
online platform it is highly important to emphasize on the various aspects like not everyone has
such kind of the expertise in utilization of e-commerce platform in turn gaining the competitive
edge in respect to have higher profitability & stability can not become possible. For the purpose
of gaining the effective form of growth & development it is crucial to give emphasis on
increasing profitability & stability by covering the greater market share. This can ensure that
good growth & development by eliminating the negative impact in order to achieve the
organizational objectives can be derived. For becoming successful in respect to get the good
performance it is required to eliminate the irrelevant aspects such as frauds, spams, etc so that
appropriate performance in order to achieve better performance in the industry can be exerted. It
involves the adverse influence such as weak customer experience, higher waiting time in
delivering the goods & services can become possible. Less regulation for operating s required to
be followed in turn greater flexibility in functioning can be achieved.
Identifying the data privacy and security challenges with the possible solutions:
According to the (Tawalbeh, and et.al., 2020), Data security are the functions, practices, and
policies focusing on the protection of the digital data and other confidential information. Data
security is based on various types of the principles like confidentiality, availability and integrity.
These all aspects are known as the CIA triad. The security and privacy challenges includes the
following with in them, that are quoted below:
Data awareness: the one of the most challenging aspect that the organization's faces that is
actually determining the data of the actual foot prints of the organization and this keeps on
changing with in the minutes. This is done when elastic use of public cloud, on the demand of
API integrations and IoT sensor software updates with in which a dormant integrated camera
might suddenly turn on automatically and start generating data due to a software feature
activation with in the system and it brings out the data stored including all the personal
information.
Solution: this all can be solved by using in the data inventory and data classification soft wares.
Data tools that helps in the monitoring of the data and are automated, easily adaptable and

scalable helps in the protection of the data at the times of such cases. Using of the data risk
assessment tools can also help in improving overall data awareness (Ma, and et.al., 2020).
Variable data compliance requirements: regulatory authorities with in the different regions,
states and the countries operates on their own timelines and own play books. Though many of
the organization prefer to use their own personalized common data privacy frame work and this
eventually emerges, and procrastinating for the compliance of the data becomes inadvisable.
With in the European regions, they are getting in much strict regarding the data compliance
enforcement with in the country and to have the fines on the violations related to the variable
data compliance requirements with in the country.
Solution: this problem can be solved by using in the partner that can help in navigating the
relevantly privacy compiled laws and regulations and helps in ensuring the data compliance and
regulatory compliance related to the issue. Using of the automated compliance soft ware tools
can also help to solve the problems for the organization that are operating on the small size and
with the tighter budgets.
Data longevity growth: this becomes as the challenge for the organizations that are thinking to
have in the reduced risks related to the data foot prints of their company data because of the
lowered risk of the data compromises. This makes it helpful for the businesses whose leaders are
focused on the use of the analytics for the extraction of the data valuation from the big data. The
use of low cost, elastic and the ubiquity of the cloud storage of the data for the proper and
unlimited time.
Solution: this challenge faced can be prevented, when the different partners in the business
works in team to have the termination process system related to the support of the business needs
and by aligning in the cyber risk appetite related to the organization. Establishing the data
destruction trigger system can help in to minimize the risk. For example, using in the primary,
secondary and the tertiary data that can be encrypted and might be periodically purged.
Employee departures: the resignations and the terminations of the employees in the modern
days and after the pandemic raise in the problems related to the insider attacks. For the users
working in the malicious former and the former end users, can present in the corporate data with
in the ripe target for the theft and the auctions related to the ransomware markets. If they are
motivated to revenge or profit. The external threat actors might also gain in the access to the
sensitive and the confidential information of the firm by hacking in to the former employees

dormant accounts when the organization fails some time to turn them off or disable the accounts
in the timely manner.
Solution: the protection from such cases can be done when the company might be using in the
access control policies and revoking the users access to the portals on the time when they leave
the firm. This can also be protected by using in the user and the entity behaviour tool which will
helping in the firm to identify the insider threat and compromised with the inactive accounts.
Invasive data technologies: the another aspect that is providing in the contribution to explode in
the data foot prints of the companies are the emergence of the use of the invasive new
technologies related to the businesses. Like using in the personalized virtual reality data bring in
the most of the requirements related to the use more of the personal data of the user. Knowledge
related to the business bring in more of the data breaches and knowing in more about a business
creates the problem that helps in to have more of the knowledge about the customer behaviour of
that business. For the data privacy and security perspective makes the implications more
troublesome. The use of the new technologies like the meta verse bring in these challenges (Yu,
and et.al., 2018).
Solution: under this all the data can be prevented and protected by using in the frame work that
is related to the data governance. This soft ware or the frame work will be helping in to protect
the data of the customers in such emerging environment with in the cautious way like by giving
in the access to the clouds and IoT.
Discuss the benefits and limitations of implanting chips in the human body:
As supported by the (Valente, 2022), implantation of the microchips with in the body gives about
the numerous advantage to the human body. There are so many places passing in the legislation
hinting that the humans will be relying on the technological advancements in the future. This
also said that the chips will be commercialized with in the human body and can help in the
enhancement of their capabilities. Some advantages that are shown as under:
Advantages:
Superior quality care: this implantation will be helping in to access the complete health records
related to the human bodies in to an electronic data base. It becomes easier for the doctors to
tracking out the health and makes in the easy for the doctors to recommend the suitable treatment
required for the patients. This implantation of the chip with in the human body can help the
patients with cancer or HIV/AIDS can get the right treatment from specialists even if they are

thousands of miles away and can help the human by storing in the data related to the alergies and
infections they are facing in (Jain, and et.al., 2020).
Improved public safety: the pandemic of the Covid have made the humans face out many of the
loop holes related to the human bodies. With the implantation of the chips in to the human bodies
the humans will be able to have in the identification of their body and can easily know about the
problems and the symptoms they are facing with in them. This would also make it easy for the
humans to isolate them or have the treatment if they are facing in any of the problem related to
their problems. One of the potential benefit that this implantation will be providing to the
humans is they will get to know easily about the things they are suffering from and their cures
and treatment would be available to them.
Easier identification: the use of the chips in the human bodies will be giving in the benefits of
easy identification as all the documents of the humans includes the micro chips with in them and
in the infrastructure of the public transportation areas will become easy for the humans and
might be saving in more of the time by making the travel easy. The identification of the human
body and all the documentation related to the humans can be done without much of the things to
be done for the identification.
Decreased fraud and thefts: the use of the chips with in the human bodies makes it easy to
know about the thefts and the frauds that takes place in many of the places. Like using in the
micro chips in the human bodies will likely be covering the bio metrics and that will be uniquely
identifying the properly relevant human. This chip implantation can help in safeguarding the
health, Ssn and their personal information.
As per the views of the (Yu, and et.al., 2021), in the accordance to the advantages of the
microchip implantation there are so many disadvantages that are relied on the implantation of the
microchip with in the human body there are as many health risks and privacy concerns related to
the implantation. These all might be related with the human bodies and its all capabilities might
put the human under a major concern and can damage the human body on higher levels causing
in many of the major diseases.
From the analysis it can be articulated that there are distinct form of the limitations which is
required to be followed in turn good organizational growth by eliminating the non appropriate
performance providing aspects. The one of the significant limitation of this is that it highly
results in personal privacy complaints in turn influencing the overall functioning of the firm.

This is related with having the threat that firm is not getting the appropriate performance as it is
associated with fear of losing the confidential insights. It is important to give emphasis on
developing such outcomes that can eliminate the irrelevant aspects which can influence its
efficiency in respect to derive the growth. The main reason behind the application is to possess
the irrelevant aspects like not getting the higher efficiency & effectiveness. It does not allow to
get the performance in highly competitive manner which needs to be emphasized so that deriving
better performance can become possible.
Security lapses is the another kind of the issue which is required to be concentrated in
turn deriving the better organizational growth achieving can not become possible (Are embedded
microchips dangerous? 2022). The types of the activities is required to be conducted which
needs the appropriate level of progress so that effective performance in order to derive the
relevant objectives formulated by firm. It increases the cost of firm as well influences its
efficiency of overall functioning of firm by eliminating human factor. This shows that firm needs
to give emphasis on having such appropriate performance that can be obtained by eliminating the
security lapses aspects which can influence the process of firm. On the basis of this it can be
articulated that security lapses is the another demerit which can not allow the firm to pay
attention building such processes so that non requires elements can be avoided such as higher
cost, complexity, etc.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that for becoming successful it is important to
adopt the ICT so that higher efficiency & effectiveness can be attained. The current report has
given emphasis on providing the information regarding the positive and negative aspects of
services and products being sold online and offline. In addition to this, privacy and security
challenges along with the solution such as control policies and revoking the users access, etc.
The preset study has involved the emphasis on involving the aspects such as he benefits and
limitations of implanting chips in the human body so that depth understanding can be derived
about the particular subject matter.
