Introduction
In this PowerPoint I will prepare a set of presentation slides for Next that explains the competitive pressures they have faced to develop their use of E-Business. I will then compare this to another organisation which will be Currys.

This would help attract more customers as they would find it easier to purchase items online, rather than
