Editor's Notes
- There is no single definition
- Since EDI was facilitated via ex pensive private networks its up take was only by larger businesses, those who could afford it. The Internet, on the other hand, which is a cost effective communication medium, has fuelled electronic commerce.
- Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) are electronic transmissions of account information over private communications networks. Electronic data interchange (EDI) occurs when one business transmits computer-readable data in a standard format to another business. An example might be when Wal-Mart sends an online purchase order to a vendor. The vendor receives the order online and ships the product to Wal-Mart. Notice how in this process no paper ever changes hands
- Digital products- examples are computer software, scripts, audios, videos
- Definitions of Procurement : Dealing with the legal problems that arise from large contracts for the supply of goods or services, especially for businesses or government organisations.
- Example Intel sells products to other businesses rather than consumers. Intel accepts > 95% of its orders online ($26 billion in 2003); also Intel purchases billions of dollars worth of raw materials on-line every year
- Assume a company sells a product to the consumer (B2C) and receives raw materials from suppliers (B2B). In order to produce the product the business needs to hire and manage people, rent storage space for the product, maintain accounts and create marketing campaigns. These are all internal business processes which more and more can be performed on the web.
