RESEARCH PAPER

Version 1

Version 2

After consultations with Prof KAM, we felt that our previous scope of the proposal is too board as online business covers too many aspects. Therefore, we decided to narrow down to the first part our problem statement, which is to explore whether starting a online business in Singapore is getting more difficult.

Problem & Motivation

Singapore is known to be a good test bed for business and innovation. However, with its ability to attract more and more business and innovation, it made decisions on what business to start in Singapore more difficult. Singapore's diversity and accessibility of various products makes it convenient for Singaporeans to purchase what they need and want. Hence, our data visualization project aims to help a business identify areas of better opportunities to start an online business.
