An emerging technology that will have an impact upon business is the Quick Response Code.

A quick response code is a series of little boxes that sort of looks like a barcode in a square.  People then scan the QR Code on their mobile device and are taken directly to the sights webpage.  The cool thing about the QR Codes is that anyone can make them.

QR codes will have a positive impact on business because they allow the consumer to have an interactive shopping experience and they can also target exactly what information they want the consumer to link through to.  This could be a special offer or promotion only available when people come into the store.  Thus encouraging people to come in and shop.  In a clothing store you could have QR codes on the tag and when people scan it they could get other items that match which would increase that stores average sale.
