FMC Diagram

Reflection Fundamental Modelling Concepts (FMC Diagrams) are used represent compositional structures of a system that processes information in a standardised form (Nili, 2019). Designers use FMC diagrams to visually explain how essential structures work together and how they relate in a systems behaviour, enabling a common understanding of complex systems structures to be developed (Knöpfel, 2007).

Week 9 Use Case Diagram

Reflection The unified modelling language (UML) is a set of standardised modelling conventions used to visualise, specify, construct and document the design of a software-intensive system (Booch, 2005). UML use case diagrams are used to organise behaviours of the system showcasing relationships between types of users and their use cases. It is used to illustrate an outside view of elements and showcase how they are used it context making the executable system approachable to engineers for testing.

Week 10 Parent Child Class Diagram

Reflection Class diagrams are used to design the static model of an object oriented system, showcasing sets of classes, interfaces and their relationships. Class diagrams are important to represent an internal view of a classes, attributes and methods showcasing how they relate to each other (Booch, 2005). The digram is used to translate the system into objected oriented programming code, visualisation ensures that the system can be shared between team members without information being inferred.

Week 11 Activity Diagram

Reflection Activity diagrams are used in UML to dynamically model aspects of a system, showcasing the flow of a system. Activity diagram demonstrate branches of control from activity to activity, modelling how activities are coordinated at different steps in the system (Booch, 2005). The diagram is used so systems can be developed that have overlapping activities with use cases that require coordination.

Week 12 Impact Analysis Amazon.com is a multinational technology company, based from the United States. They act as a logistics company for ecommerce with their online retail platform amazon.com but also branch out with services such as their cloud computing service Amazon Web Services and their video streaming platform Amazon Prime. Amazon also owns with over 40 subsidiaries such as Whole Foods and Xero (United States Securities And Exchange Commission, 2019). In 2017 Amazon lunched its Australian online retail service amazon.com.au. As of 2019 Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world, sitting on the fortunes 500 list as the 5th largest US company (Fortune 500, 2019). This provides a large economic impact on the world that poses strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities to Australia and Australian businesses.

Technology is a major deliver of globalisation and is an essential part of the scalable economy. Amazon offers a large variety of services that are available in Australia. Amazon is expanding into new countries and economies with its services, thus providing new opportunities for Amazon. In 2017 Amazon expanded to Australia due to its growing economy and large adaption of technology. The largest area effected by this move is its Amazons online retail service, this area has growth in Australia as seen in the 2018 eCommerce industry paper on Australian Online Shopping. This report details how Australian online shopping culture is growing. In 2017 Australians online spending increased by 18.7% resulting in 21.3 billion dollars in online sales and it is predicted that in 2020 10% of all items bought will be online (Australia Post, 2018).

This showcases that there is an opportunity to grow Amazon into new expanding markets. If Amazon can reach the same level of popularity as the United States in Australia this will result in over 10 billion dollars of sales online for Amazon in Australia (Stych, 2019).

Expansion into Australia also creates threats for the Australian economy, this is in the area of local retail. This has been described as the Amazon effect and describes the effect online commerce has on local retail (Grosman, 2018), that being the decrease in physical retail shopping. Australian physically retail is currently experiencing a declining number of sales being the lowest in years. Large Australian retailers such as JB-HIFI and Myer have experienced up to 30% decline in stock price due to online shopping (Taylor, 2017). With the growth of Amazon in Australia, consumers are switching to online shopping due to convince this poses threats for the Australian economy as it results in less in-store sales, less jobs and less local business which can be damaging to the economy (Carranza, 2017).

The impact of Amazon in Australia to the economy poses threats and opportunities, these come in the form of growth and loss of local business. The growth of online shopping is expected to increase but the local retail still has a large majority of sales in Australia, showcasing that Australians still prefer physical retail to online shopping. However, trends predict that online shopping will grow and physical retail will decrease over the next 5 years.
