Introduction
The issue Web 2.0 has many factors that need to be touched when one is writing this issue. Although it is still a new subject, there is a need to ensure that all the relevant factors that need to be addressed should be tackled. This paper will undertake a peer a review of the reports that have been written by colleagues about the topic of Web 2.0, and green computing. The structure of the report is not that clear. The report does not have an index. This is an essential aspect that should be entrenched and integrated in any substantial report. It makes it hard to go through the report. Although the report has substantial points that are worth following, it is hard following and getting indexes of the main points. This is something that should be included in any report. It helps the users and the readers to go through the report and get the necessary points. In terms of structure, there is also no numbering. Numbering helps the readers to go through the different parts of the report. This is an essential tool that is handy, especially, when going through bigger reports.
In the executive summary, the report does not have a recommendation for ZARA. This is an important aspect. The report has issues that should be considered when implementing Web 2.0 in an organization it does not have recommended steps that should be undertaken to be up to speed with Web 2.0 implementation. The authors do not talk about the integration of Web 2.0. They dwell on supply chain and is therefore, not relevant to the topic which they are researching. The authors instead talk about the supply chain and the sustainability of the organization in terms of finances. There is no place that they have touched on Web 2.0 exclusively. They have exclusively stated the extent in which organizations have come in improving their business processes. They have a good analysis ad assessment of the status of organizations. In the executive summary, the authors talk about the need to have emerging technologies. The authors do not specify whether the emerging technologies also include Web 2.0 and green computing. The authors needed to have specified the emerging technologies that are to be integrated and included.
There was no table of content in the report. This makes it simple to go through the report. The table of content should be included in long reports. The paper was also below the number of words that was required. The write up should be at least 2750 words.
In the introduction, the authors have some good points. They emphasize the need to go green in their operations and processes. The authors, however, do not introduce the readers to the fashion industry. They fail to introduce or define the fashion industry. They do not bring the connection that the fashion industry has with emerging technologies. The definition that they give from Sun Microsystems is in the right direction but does not give the main reason for this definition. The introduction does not set the main foundation that het rest of the report will be based. This is one failure that the authors should take into consideration.
In the section of Retail Fashion Environmental Accountability, the authors do not clearly define environmental management systems like ISO 14001. The authors do not have a clear perspective on the small firms and their role in their quest for green computing. The authors do not come out clearly on the extent in which green computing can be undertaken. The authors argue that many organizations have conduits that will integrate green computing practice in their processes. They do not bring out the role and the portion of ZARA in the whole issue of green computing. There was a need to have a deeper analysis. The author analyses and talks about general companies and goes off in some sections. There is lack consistency in talking about the green computing in the fashion industry.
Clarity
The report is fairly clear. There are many sections in which the authors do not talk about one issue of green computing.
Organization
Grammar and style
The report is good in grammar. There are no many mistakes. The authors corrected and proofread the report before submitting the report.
