Traditional Versus Online Management
The new age of business is moving towards the internet age of business. The internet is attractive compared to the traditional brick and mortar because of the low startup costs. New companies need less capital for their initial startup and this allows more small businesses to be established. The internet also allows new businesses to reach consumer markets, which could not be reached before, by the brick and mortar businesses. With the change in the type of business comes the change in the leadership styles and management styles needed to run these businesses effectively. This paper will look at both, brick and mortar and internet organizations, and discuss the differences in structure, management obstacles and the solutions to these issues.
