Purchase/Input Type Direct Inputs Indirect Inputs Spot Purchasing Independent Exchanges eDistributors Contractual Purchasing Industry Consortia eProcurement Type of Market Vertical Markets Horizontal Markets A vertical market is a market in which vendors offer good and services specific to an industry, trade, profession, or other group of customers with specialized needs. A horizontal market, in which vendors offer a broad range of goods and services to a large group of customers with wide range of needs, such as businesses as a whole, men, women, households, or, in the broadest horizontal market, everyone. 'Spot' buying is purchase for immediate delivery, as opposed to delivery in three or six months' time (contractual buying).

B2B Models: E-distributor
Supplies products and services directly to individual businesses Owned by one company seeking to serve many customers (Businesses) Revenue model: Sales of goods, Advertisement Example: tradekey.com.pk, Grainger.com, Cisco, Dell.inc, BestBuy.com, pakbiz.com, pakimpex.com Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Example : grainger.com - 1927
for example, is the largest distributor of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies are thought of as indirect input to the production process – as opposed to direct inputs. In the past, Grainger relied on catalog sales and physical distribution centers in metropolitan areas. Its catalog of equipment went online in 1995 at Grainger.com, giving businesses access to more than items. Company purchasing agents can search by type of product, such as motors, HVAC, or fluids, or by specific brand name. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

B2B Models: E-procurement
eProcurement is a fully capable electronic web application for purchasing goods and services. eProcurement allows shoppers to browse online catalogs, add items to a shopping cart and submit the requisition electronically. E-procurement is the b2b purchase and sale of supplies and services over the Internet. Implementation of E-Procurement System allow your organization to reach and interact with global suppliers or providers. Typically, e-procurement Web sites allow qualified and registered users to look for buyers or sellers of goods and services. Depending on the approach, buyers or sellers may specify prices or invite bids. Revenue model: Transaction fees, usage fees, annual licensing fees Examples Ariba - a application service providers (ASPs) – A SAP Company

Ariba creates custom integrated online catalogs (where supplier firms can list their offerings) for purchasing firms. On the sell side, Ariba helps vendors sell to large purchasers by providing software to handle catalog creation shipping, insurance, and finance. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

B2B Models: Exchanges Digital exchanges are independently-owned marketplaces that allow multiple suppliers and purchasers to trade in real time. Usually owned by independent firms whose business is making a market Usually serve a single vertical industry for spot-purchasing by large companies in the IT, food and industrial equipment sectors. Revenue model: Transaction, commission fees Create powerful competition between suppliers Number has dropped dramatically Many exchanges were launched in the dotcom boom, probably some 1,500, but failed because the larger purchasers preferred to deal with a selected list of suppliers through private industrial networks. Digital exchanges may stabilize at some 200 odd. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

B2B Models: Industry Consortia
Industry-owned vertical marketplaces that serve specific industries (e.g., automobile, chemical) More successful than exchanges Sponsored by powerful industry players Strengthen traditional purchasing behavior Example: Exostar Exostar's founding partners included BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. In July 2010, Exostar was fulfilling the needs of over 70,000 companies in 95 countries with transactions totalling $35 billion annually. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM Revenue Model: Charging subscription and transaction fees. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM (Examples)
Industrial Consortia Industry Exostar Aerospace SupplyOn Automotive, Aerospace and Manufacturing Elemica Chemical Dairy.Com Dairy Products Global Healthcare Exchange Medical Services and Supplies Quadrem Metals, Minerals and Mining OceanConnect Risk Risk Management for Ship Owners, Traders, Refiners,and Financial Institutions TheSeam Food and Beverage Transplace Freight and Carrier Services Exostar connects with over 300 procurement systems in 20 different countries and has registered more than 24, 000 trading partners worldwide. Most Fortune 500 and other large companies belong to industrial consortia, sometimes to several. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Private Industrial Networks
As the name suggests, private industrial networks are web-enabled networks that coordinate transactions between specific companies — in all aspects and all divisions: suppliers, distributors, retail, procurement, delivery and so on. Such systems are also called collaborative, as they facilitate efficiencies throughout the network. Many large companies (Wal-mart, Agentrics, Coca-Cola, Nike, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Dell and General Electric) operate private industrial networks, which indeed form the largest part of B2B ecommerce today.

16
Specific objectives include:
More efficient buying and selling throughout an industry. Resource planning on an enterprise- and industry-wide scale. Increased supply chain visibility to all interested parties, i.e. inventory levels of buyers and suppliers can be monitored and kept to efficient levels. Closer relationships between buyers and suppliers, improving demand forecasting, communications and conflict resolution. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
17
Private Industrial Networks
Unlike industrial consortia, which are collectively owned by several major companies, private industrial networks generally have a single, sponsoring company that sets and enforces the rules, only inviting other companies to participate at its own will. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
18
Example : Ace Hardware Ace Hardware, a cooperative of 5,100 retail stores employs a private industrial network to manage inventory levels and link with suppliers. Previously, some 30 procurement managers were employed and some 7-10 days were required to process an order. These have been replaced with 14 Ace distribution centers and 9 key suppliers. And whereas suppliers previously had no access to Ace inventory levels, they can now forecast demand with some accuracy. Manco, one supplier of 200 products, has been able to reduce distribution costs by 28% and freight costs by 18%. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
19
Private Industrial Networks
Designed to coordinate flow of communication among firms engaged in business together Electronic data interchange (EDI) Single firm networks Most common form Example: Wal-Mart’s network for suppliers Industry-wide networks Often evolve out of industry associations Example: Agentrics (initiate by Sears) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Why Industry Wide Private Industrial Network
Why Industry Wide Private Industrial Network ? (A response to Single Firm Industrial Network like wall- mart) wal-mart has refused to open its very successful network to other members of the retail industry, in effect to become an industry standard, for fear it will be sharing technology secrets with other retailers like Sears. Sears and other retailers around the world have created their own set of organizations and networks that are open to all in the industry. Agentrics is an industry-wide private industrial network for retailers and suppliers designed to facilitate and simplify trading among retailers, suppliers, partners and distributors.
