The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
2) What other industries or examples can you apply the 80/20 rule to?
- 80% of the media is controlled by 20% of the institutions/companies
- 80% of a company's sales come from 20% of its products
- 80% of company's complains come from 20% of customers
- 80% of a company's profits come from 20% of the time its staff spend
- 80% of a company's profits come from 20% of its customers
- 75% of website access goes to 25% of people
3) List three arguments in FAVOUR of Pareto's Law applying to the internet:
