Download or read book E Commerce written by Brian C. Satterlee and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-08 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic Commerce is one of the most important aspects to emerge from the Internet. It allows people to exchange goods and services immediately, with no barriers of time or distance Initially, E-Commerce was primarily the domain of large firms, due to its initial format of customized, complex, and expensive transactions – essential barriers to entry by smaller competitors. Today, for a nominal fee, anyone may become an online merchant, with the potential to reach millions of consumers world-wide. In essence, the development of the Internet has had the same effect on E-Commerce as Henry Ford’s assembly line on the automotive industry. It has converted a luxury for the few into a relatively simple and inexpensive device for the masses. In this book, we will explore these impacts and innovations. The purpose of this book is to provide a preliminary analytical foundation (knowledge base), which then may be used for further, more advanced study. It is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis—yet at the same time provides as much information as possible to provide an accurate depiction of the current state and likely future direction of E-Commerce.

Download or read book Electronic Commerce for Development written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Development Centre and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, authors from different disciplines draw on supply chain analysis and industry studies to elucidate how new information and communications technologies -- as epitomised by the mobile phone and the internet -- are affecting the livelihoods of low-income communities and the businesses of small entrepreneurs from Bangladesh to South Africa. Case studies look at these questions in the context of: the world coffee market, where online auctions have yielded price premiums for a handful of growers; the automobile industry where parts procurement is being rationalised and small suppliers squeezed, but a handful of suppliers have found in the internet a tool to link with hitherto inaccessible customers; the textile industry where IT-based procurement and faster product cycles threaten to shut out many developing country suppliers. The general conclusion reached by many of the authors is a sobering one. The internet is not a panacea for low productivity and profitability of developing country enterprises, which owe more to such problems as weak infrastructure, limited managerial know-how and poor quality control, and excessive market distortions. On the other hand, neither can an entrepreneur expect to have a fighting chance in the global marketplace without being wired. [from the OECD website]
