I. High street “bricks-and-mortar” retailers are increasingly conducting their
business online. For a while their branding can rely on their high street heritage

Students should make all efforts to avoid plagiarism by reading and reflecting on the information

take note of the Turnitin similarity score when they submit. Harvard style referencing must
always be used
