transaction. The transaction preceding this, eg, the purchase of components,

C2B (Consumer–to-Business)
A consumer-to-business model, or C2B, is a type of commerce where a consumer or end user
provides a product or service to an organization. It is a reverse of the B2C model, where
businesses produce products and services for consumer consumption.

6. Example of c2b:
Vincent Rosso, the cofounder and head of BlaBlaCar, a shared car company, took part in a
round table during the latest Ecomm&Beers on collaborative consumption. This company is a
good example of C2B: you can look for someone who is driving on a specific date, at a specific
time, to a specific destination. You can ask for something highly specific, in very short time and
for very little money. BlaBlaCar has had strong penetration in the last semester, and, with
its unusual business model, it’s a good example of how to consume and grow in harsh times.

10. DEFINITION OF'TRANSACTION COSTS'
Expenses incurred when buying or selling securities. Transaction costs include brokers' commissions and
spreads (the difference between the price the dealer paid for a security and the price the buyer pays). The
transaction costs to buyers and sellers are the payments that banks and brokers receive for their roles in
these transactions. There are also transaction costs in buying and selling real estate. These fees include
the agent's commission and closing costs such as title search fees, appraisal fees and government fees.
