7Acceptable summary and introduction. Should have been split up into sections. Quite a serious mismatch between the dissertation title and the aims and objectives.
Some interesting material, but needed more up-to-date literature and figures on online retailing. Rather too much given the title comparing the online and store-based retailing.
Methodology seems over-complicated – survey, key informant interviews, observation of online shopping behaviour – though the idea of an experiment is interesting. The reasoning behind the methodology chosen was not adequately explained.
Analysis and discussion was poorly organised and again is comparative, which was not really relevant to the title of the dissertation, though comparing store and online retailing was mentioned in the objectives. There was a need for graphs and tables in this section.
Conclusions and recommendations were short and relatively weak. New information in the form of graphs should not have been present here.
Presentation throughout is acceptable, but appendices should not really have been used to summarise the quantitative results.
This dissertation is appropriately structured, but the results in particular needed to be more rigorously discussed and critiqued. Some of the key issues of customer satisfaction with internet fashion retailing were not properly explored.
Not irredeemable, but needs work to make the research thread more logical.
