planning process.

Literature Review
Abstract
This literature review will examine the impact of the internet on high street shopping. The
internet is making it easy to shop online anytime, anywhere. The objective of this research is to
measure whether society has a preferred shopping choice, and if so, the reasoning behind this.
Whilst sometimes the internet is the most convenient way to shop, it was found the high street is
more attractive and offers more interaction and a personal shopping experience for clients,
considering the experience of choosing and trying the products for example. Also it is relevant to
consider that consumers are easily influenced by cost of the purchase, time saving and
practicality.

Methodology
Research designed well defined
Quantitative Research is used by the researcher; it is more logical and data-led approach
which provides a measure of what people think from a statistical and numerical point of view.
For example, if you wanted to know how many of your customers support a proposed change in
your products or service and how strongly (on a scale) they support it. Quantitative research can
gather a large amount of data that can be easily organised and manipulated into reports for
analysis.
