This report reflects how retail stores in Australia are adapting towards online business
with a view to increase their overall market share. With the increasing ramification of economic
changes and complex business conditions, each and every organization is adapting online
business in their business functioning. There are several stores such as Wesfarmers, Woolworths
and Mayer who have installed cyber computing enterprises resources planning system in their
business functioning (Van Everdingen, Van Hillegersberg and Waarts, 2010). This system is
adopted by them with a view to ease their manual work and make automation in their business
functioning. It is considered that with the changing business environments, clients are more
clients towards company which uses sophisticated technologies in their value chain activities
(Katerattanakul, Lee and Hong, 2014). In this report, JB HI-FI Company has been taken into
consideration. It is an Australian electronic goods selling company. This company has installed
cyber computing enterprises resources planning system in their business functioning which will
help clients to shop online through its developed dashboards. This cyber computing enterprises
resources planning system in their business functioning will also increase the overall
communication between employees to employees and employees to clients. The operating
system of JB-HI-FI is completely based on the cyber computing enterprises resources planning
system in which all the works are segregated to different departments such as functional,
budgetary, matrix project department. It is evaluated that clients’ needs and demand have been
changing throughout the time (Gerow, et al. 2014). Many retails stores such as Wesfarmers, Red
Ballon and Dhaka have adopted cyber computing enterprises resources planning system in their
business functioning so that they could take their business online and create effective brand
image in clients. Market. This level of technologies adoptions allows clients to do window

time but also allow them to broad their choices with millions of products choice. This level of
cyber computing enterprises resources planning system has shown a bright future for JB-Hi-FI to
increase its overall turnover and effective business functioning. If JB-HI-FI could consistently
adopt this level of cyber computing enterprises resources planning system to keep its business
online with unique features as per the expectation and client’s interest then it will surely result to
bright future and effective brand image of company (Flamholtz and Randle, 2012).
Now in the end, it could be inferred that this level of cyber computing enterprises
resources planning system will bring more simplicity and effective business functioning for
retails stores in Australia. However, innovation and creation of technologies will determine the
vulnerability of online business of retail stores throughout the time. However, with the present
level of demand and clients inclinations, if retails stores wants to create effective brand image
and increase their turnover then adoption of online business is very much required part of
business. Therefore, it could be inferred that retails stores and their online business has effective
and positive future.
