ABSTRACT

The future is built upon a number of cornerstones of change where by the behaviour of people is the most important. This buying behaviour is influenced by technology, personal circumstances, international developments and economic causes. People will frenetically hold onto old shopping centres, to town centres that were developed 50 years ago, and to old sources of income such as municipal land taxes, parking fees and administrative charges. For a number of years now discretionary income has not risen, yet consumers want to buy all various new products, to keep up with the latest developments and technological innovations. Alibaba is a new concept that makes optimum use of the possibilities offered by technology. This applies to both the Internet and other facilities. A direct link between demand and producers is regarded as new development of the Internet. The year 2015 marks the end of an era; the end of the supply economy and the further development of the demand economy.
