What characteristics of the structure chosen support your choice? Consider and discuss some of the risks associated with your choice?

Answer 1

Legal services : Advocates, policeman

Website development : facebook, twitter, software engineers

Sports agent: creative artists agency

I think website development best fits for an international expansion.

Internet is available everywhere in the world, thus having a website can make us a global or universe player. Some of the characteristics of website development are:

* less is enough : a website with a simpler content is much good than a large one.

* a picture can tell a lot rather than a huge amount of written paragraph

* the aesthetic appearance matters a lot : a good aesthetic appearance can catch or take attention from the people very much.

* keep a less load time

* accessibility for each and every individual

* constant optimization : the website should properly tested within a duration of time to check its accessibility and user friendly nature.

* consistency is an important factor : inorder to built a trust in the minds of people, the key elements such as colour, font, top navigation screen should be constant and should not change.

The risks associated with web development can classified into two:

1.Human risks

* Team change: The developers may get sick or have their own personal problems.

* Learning time: A huge amount of time is required for the workers to study a new programming language.

* poor team strength : there will be minor conflicts or lack of groupism in teams.

* Hiring process: a lot is taken to hire the specialists with key skills and creativity ideas.

2.Teachnical risks

* application is not scalable: scalability is the availability of a an application in which it can be used in another regions for another purposes.

* instability of the application : the application can crash or get damged due to memory problem, bugs and incompatibility of the web browser.
