Also, the intangible assets are long-term assets whereby a person using them in the company for more than a year.

Showing how it’s costly, a lot of expertise is needed and takes much time to resolve cases involving intellectual property. For example, a case between…

THE O2O BUSINESS MODEL OPERATION OF THE RETAIL INDUSTRY IN THE UK CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study There has been a significant advancement in e-commerce filed in the UK and around the globe. In the UK, most businesses are increasingly relying on online space as a result of the increase in internet connectivity and access to smartphones and computers (Meyer, 2020). Despite the growing influence on e-commerce, the platform is only expected to contribute to about 18% of all global retail sales by the year 2020 (Gilliand, 2017).

The topic of gender performativity has become a broad one. Gender is not about biological sex, it is the progressive social reconstruction and conforming to performative rituals that influence one’s behaviour and their gender identity.  The environment around a person and the media influence determines whether the person’s gender is feminine or masculine. If one performs all the activities that are termed ‘feminine’, it constructs the gender of that particular person. Judith Butler, an American Philosopher and a gender theorist implies the absence of a biological basis to performative behaviour. He played a significant role in redefining and shaping feminism. According to Judith Butler, “Gender is the repeated stylization of the body, a set of repeated acts within a highly rigid regulatory frame that congeal over time to produce the appearance of a substance” (Butler, 1988 p. 523).  It is not just a process; it has to entail consistent and regular repetition of certain rituals. One is not free to choose their gender; the script is already written with what Butler calls, ‘rigid regulatory frame’ (Butler, 1988). All gender roles…
