So , basically in this assignment we were given a task to present a theoretical idea about
beginning a new business startup. We present two kinds of men . MAN A uses computer
technology and internet etc for his business startup . Whereas MAN B doesn’t choose any
form of computer related technology in his business. We will compare and contrast the
situation and the pros and cons of both the men .

Name of startup:
Customised Travel , tourism and events management

Man A:
 He would need an app in which data of differnet vendors is stored and he can access
that for something he actually needs... e.g MAGENTO WITH MARKET PLACE . It is a
mobile application , as mentioned earlier.

 Next we need a website in which incoming different events are displaced along with
their tenders. So that, vendors like MAN A could bid. Such websites usually fall in the
category of WEB APPLICATIONS..but they can be converted to MOBILE
APPLICATIONS. Still internet would be essential for functionality.

 Next we need a marketing sort of website where people would just enter their
requirements of setup and price and diff vendors would appear according to the
specs entered. This falls under the category of WEB APPLICATIONS and MOBILE
APPLICATIONS basically.

 Besides that he would need a REVIEW SYSTEM for the customers who will upload
the reviews on a portal ,that public can access too. This can be desktop , mobile or
web application.

 For advertisement, social media is the best option. So he would create pages on
instagram , facebooketc ... these were originally web apps ...then they were
developed to mobile apps. They can function with access to internet only. He would
also use different editing apps like ADOBE etc which is a desktop application...to
create posters and templates and logos etc.

 For payment he would use mobile applications like easypaisa or jazz cash.

 For hiring of staff , he would use mobile applications like upwork, fiverr and linkedIN.
  For contacting people he would use desktop applications like the ones in our mobiles
eg CONTACTS or MESSAGING . He can also use mobile apps like GMAIL or YAHOO
etc.

 Since this work is all about TRAVEL or EVENT MANAGEMENT he would book halls,
hotels , cinemas or places by using mobile applications like TRIVAGO , BOOKME.PK
etc

Man B :
 He would have to do all of the searching for vendors, bidding etc

 He would have to search house to house or he would have to waste his balance
credit to call people separately (since he doesnt use whatsapp which is a mobile app)
.. this would waste a lot of time , energy and money .

 Even for the reviews he would have to either give pages to people or ask them one
by one for their feedback

 For advertisement he would have to do the same as mentioned in the above point
about reviews

 For payment , he could actually face a lot of FRAUD and SCAMS as he money transfer
would be in the form of taking cash directly from people. Taking advantage of the
presence of cash with him at that time , people could actually rob him.

 For travelling and event management , he would either have to travel himself a long
distance to know about the bookings and reservations or he would have to call them
by using his balance which could ultimately waste his money and time

Conclusion: therefore we can already see that in case of advantages, using

computers and the internet is definitely a good way to start a business . It has little
disadvantages as compared to starting a business with no internet and computer
technology.
Hence we can say that MAN A will have a much better chance of being successful in his
startup than MAN B.
