3. E-Business – Transaction Medium Most e-commerce is done over the Internet. EC can also be conducted via: Private networks, such as value-added networks (VANs, networks that add communication services to existing common carriers) Local area networks (LANs) Wide area networks (WANs)

4. E-Business – Transaction Types E-commerce transactions can be done between various parties. Business-to-business (B2B): Both the sellers and the buyers are business organizations Collaborative commerce (c-commerce): In c-commerce, business partners collaborate electronically Business-to-consumers (B2C): The sellers are organizations, and the buyers are individuals Consumers-to-businesses (C2B): Consumers make known a particular need for a product or service, and suppliers compete to provide it

5. E-Business – Transaction Types (Continued) E-commerce transactions can be done between various parties. Consumer-to-consumer (C2C): Individuals sell products or services to other individuals Intrabusiness (intraorganizational) commerce: An organization uses EC internally to improve its operations. A special case is known as B2E (business to its employees) Government-to-citizens (G2C): A government provides services to its citizens via EC technologies Mobile commerce (m-commerce): When e- commerce is done in a wireless environment

6. Mobile Computing – L-Commerce Applications

7. Components of EC The field of e-commerce is broad, and there are many of EC applications

8. Components of EC (Continued) To execute these applications, companies need the right information, infrastructure, and support services. As shown: People: Sellers, buyers, intermediaries, information systems specialists and other employees, and any other participants Public policy: Legal and other policy and regulating issues, such as privacy protection and taxation Marketing and advertising: Like any other business, EC usually requires the support of marketing and advertising Support services: Many services are needed to support EC. They range from payments to order delivery and content creation Business partnerships: Joint ventures, e-marketplaces, and partnerships are some frequently occurring relationships in e- business

9. Auctions and Bartering The major mechanism for buying and selling on the Internet is the electronic catalog. There are two common mechanisms used in its implementation: electronic auctions and bartering online Electronic Auctions (e-Auctions): A market mechanism by which sellers place offers and buyers make sequential bids Forward auctions are auctions where sellers place items at sites for auction and buyers bid continuously for the items. Reverse auctions, have one buyer, usually an organization, that wants to buy a product or a service. Suppliers are invited to submit bids. Auctions are used in B2C, B2B, C2B, e-government, and C2C commerce

10. Auctions and Bartering (Continued) Electronic bartering, the exchange of goods or services without a monetary transaction Individual-to-individual bartering Corporate e-bartering (e.g., barterbrokers.com)

12. Issues in E-Tailing Market Research – B2C To successfully conduct electronic commerce, especially B2C, it is important to find out who are the actual and potential customers and what motivates them to buy. Finding out what specific groups of consumers want is done via segmentation, dividing customers into specific segments, such as age or gender. Market researchers have tried to understand consumer behavior and develop models to help vendors understand how a consumer makes a purchasing decision. If the process is understood, a vendor may be able to influence the buyer’s decision through advertising or special promotions.

13. E-Commerce Support Services

14. Customization in E-Commerce

15. Managerial Issues Managing resistance to change. Electronic commerce can result in a fundamental change in how business is done. Resistance to change from employees, vendors, and customers may develop. Education, training, and publicity over an extended time period offer possible solutions to the problem. Integration of e-commerce into the business environment. E- commerce needs to be integrated with the rest of the business. Integration issues involve planning, competition for corporate resources with other projects, and interfacing EC with databases, existing IT applications, and infrastructure. Lack of qualified personnel and outsourcing. Very few people have expertise in e-commerce. There are many implementation issues that require expertise, such as when to offer special promotions on the Internet, how to integrate an e-market with the information systems of buyers and sellers, and what kind of customer incentives are appropriate under what circumstances. For this reason, it may be worthwhile to outsource some e- commerce activities.

20. 20 Search Engines A search engine is a special program that provides links to Web sites based on a keyword or group of words supplied by the user Search engines then look through their database of Web site content to see which Web sites use that word or phrase Other specialized indexing programs create directories of Web site categories, working on the “backend” of the search engine

22. 22 THE INTERORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM (IOS) An IOS is created through linkages with other firms so they can work together as a coordinated unit This allows them to achieve benefits that each could not achieve alone Inter organizational systems are fundamental to electronic commerce

23. 23 Indirect IOS Benefits The indirect benefits of participating in an IOS include: –increased ability to compete; –improved relationships with trading partners; –and improved customer service Figure 3.4 shows this relationship between direct and indirect benefits

24. 24 B2C STRATEGIES FOR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE Reasons why it’s important to understand B2C business include: –More products and services are becoming available for digital delivery –Consumers are overcoming their reluctance to purchase using the Web –Higher communications speeds have made the delivery of digital products practical –Fear of information theft (such as credit card info), is being replaced with greater confidence that sensitive information will be safeguarded

25. 25 Products and Services to Be Delivered to the Consumer Over the Internet Digital Products: such as songs, albums, movies, computer programs and their updates and services Physical Products: Sales can be made over the Web, but shipping has to be arranged. The growth of private mail/shipping companies has indirectly aided retail e- Commerce A key difference between digital and physical products is that digital products can be consumed as soon as they are downloaded

26. 26 Virtual Versus Hybrid Sales Virtual sales are those made by a firm that does not operate a physical storefront Hybrid sales occur when firms have both a physical storefront and a Web site where customers can purchase products Office Depot’s Web site (www.officedepot.com) shows an example of the strategy restricting the number of images displayed until the customer has focused his/her search to a relatively few choices (next slide)www.officedepot.com
