Analyse an industry that is being significantly impacted by a specific recent advancement in information management or IT/IS infrastructure.

Excerpt: "More and more customers do see the possible risk involved with using credit cards over the internet. Although technology has advanced very rapidly and is creating a secure environment to do e-commerce over the internet, many potential gaps still exist. The apprehensions of many potential customers are helped by using encryption technology and websites registering with security verifying agencies to bring a sense of security to the customers. Another concern is that of vital personal information being shared over the internet such as name, address, driving license numbers, travel itineraries, etc. Many reputed travel websites publish their privacy policies to have a transparent approach to customers about how this information will be used."

Similarly the hostility in the relationship between employers and trade unions is for the most part implicitly ignored in policy but accompanied by the realisation among trade unions such as the TUC that they need employers as much as employees to buttress their role in the social contract of employment. Unless trade unions can align with the modern interests of employees they purport to represent it will lead to a further minimalist role for them in the future in the relationship between labour, capital and government."
