Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Corporate houses are spreading their wings by taking the bridge of retailing and e-commerce in order to survive in the market in the long run and fulfil the requirements of the potential buyers. Because people are free to choose, from where they want to purchase the product, they buy the products according to requirements and convenience so employees should be trained in both the operation whether it is retailing or e - commerce. They must learn to adapt in any kind of business requirements and meet the needs of the customer. The motivation factors work in which operation they are working, however, they shouldn't distract their main focus of performing best and fulfilling the needs of customer even the business shifts from retailing to e -commerce. The business operations vary with the technology employees must be trained accordingly.
