15. FINDINGS
Manufacturers do not have freedom to operate an E-commerce site because of the
manufacturer's individual agreements with one or more selected dealers as not to operate an
e- commerce site. It should be viewed as a vertical management and be lawful. However if a
manufacturer were to agree with a group of dealers that the manufacturer will not operate an
Ecommerce site in competition with the dealers.
Customers do not have whole information about operating an ecommerce site for e-buying
procedure.
Most of the people are unsuccessful to use Net banking and email account because either
they are ignorant or even don’t remember their login ID and password.
Planners fail to give employees the whole picture and in such circumstances, the training and
setting up incentives for workers to embrace the strategy may assist.
16. In case of information, management there is the process of receiving the orders,
complaints and suggestions is performed but there is no proper forwarding of this
information received. And accurate interpretation of the data and submitting it for
the decision making should be properly channelized.
Attractive and informative web designs play an important role in the
development of any business on the account of applicable of E-commerce in the
business. The attractive and informative website proves to be new additions in
the growth of the business.
In case of office management E-commerce offered as a paperless office as every
transaction is recorded in the computer. Paper records are completely eliminated
from the marketing office management in E-commerce.
17. RECOMMENDATIONS
E-Agriculture has not been implemented because farmers in the country have not been
sensitized about it & young farmers were in lack of information about the agriculture
such that e-agriculture might provide them useful information’s regarding the
plantations that they have grown.
Illiteracy among farmers in reading message is also another factor that pertain the
usage of technology in agriculture, to overcome this it is necessary to create awareness
of learning the state language such that the message sent will be in the state language.
The development of e-commerce undoubtedly affects the Agri-food sector, and
agricultural firms seem to be generally taking up e-commerce activities and deploying
or using agricultural e-markets.
18. CONCLUSION
In information management receiving the feedback, suggestions, corrections,
complaints are to be processed and proper forwarding of this information is to be
undertaken for its accurate interpretation and submitting it for the decision-making.
Paper records are completely eliminated from office management in E-commerce
because every transaction is recorded in the computer.

presentation of the products on the website and one operator on the company computer
