declined in these four competitions due to the German chain of the supermarket named Aldi and
There are also vital areas that will affect business policies. The first one is fiscal policy.
The government of UK can modify the budgetary policy for affecting some business aspects

opportunities for inclusion and exclusion criteria for the long run artificial intelligence (Anadon
et al., 2016, Anderson et al., 2014). The company will adopt the trends of the minimum amount
of the time investment (Antonelli et al., 2013). The different needs for the minimum delivery
time will be communicated through the establishment of a clear vision. Open communication
will also resolve the issue of minimum time span for employee and management. The company
leadership starts the process of the open communication through information sharing with the
employees regularly. The bureaucracy will also be reduced in organization whereas the larger
organizations will deem less inventive and entrepreneurial as compared to the smaller
organization. To comply with the certain rules and regulations, the company will also assess and
take the initiative from company to start innovation through the same day delivery of products.
Innovation is not the single action, but it pertains to the interlinked processes existing at
the sub-processes. It is not the only concepts of the ideas, not the new device invention, the
development of the new market, but the process that encompasses all these things acting in an
integrated manner (Asgary and Thamhain, 2016, Bal, 2011). In the companies, innovation is the

the augmented reality are expected as the key trends in future. The retailers are providing the AR
technologies for bridging the gaps of the physical and the digital trends. The mega brands such
