Meaning of E-commerce
E-commerce (electronic commerce or EC) is the buying and selling of goods and services, or the transmitting of funds or data, over an electronic network, primarily the internet. These business transactions occur either as business-to-business, business-to-consumer, consumer-to-consumer or consumer-to-business. The terms e-commerce and e-business are often used interchangeably. The term e-tail is also sometimes used in reference to transactional processes for online shopping.
The Emergence of Open Banking and COVID-19Sam Ghosh
Think about Google if it were only collecting a lot of data but never used or shared that data with anyone. That is how the traditional financial service companies are - they have enormous amounts of data but rarely use that data for any tangible purpose. Dormant data with the financial service providers can be used to not only create new applications but revolutionize credit markets, personal finance, business finance, wealth management, etc. in ways we cannot even totally envisage now.
Open Banking is a practice where banks provide access to consumer data to non-affiliated third parties generally through Application Programming Interfaces or APIs. Open Banking in the coming years is expected to lead a paradigm shift in Banking and Finance.
During the pandemic, the demand side of the equation for Open Banking is rapidly developing with growth in fintech markets and the adoption of digital channels by the consumers.
Both banks and tech companies have immense incentives to grab this opportunity and quickly tap the growth in digital markets and channels.
Concerns about data security, compliance with privacy laws, and regulatory uncertainties are acting as impediments to the growth of Open Banking.
Banks need to act quickly to leverage data to increase their reach and role. Traditional banking is rapidly getting commoditized and banks need to add data-driven value-added services in their portfolio to remain relevant. Value-added services such as personal financial planning, the alternative credit assessment, and real-time payments can not only create new revenue sources for the banks but provide strategic moats in the competitive landscape. Banks can achieve this through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In-house development is difficult given the cultural shift needed in the banking sector may take time. Apart from that, the IT in the banking sector is generally focussed on regulatory requirements and not data-driven, customer-focused as required for Open Banking initiatives.
Policy uncertainty can severely hamper the growth of Open Banking. Policymakers need to balance caution on security-privacy matters but at the same time clear policy confusion to allow the sector to grow.
As per the Akamai report, “2020 State of the Internet / Security: Financial Services – Hostile Takeover Attempts”, cyber attackers are increasingly targeting API endpoints of financial services.
As per a Gartner report, by 2021, APIs will account for 90% of the attack surface. By 2022, according to Gartner, API abuses will become the most-frequent attack vector.
This is a cause of concern for the Banks contemplating opening up data access using APIs.
The document discusses several topics related to e-business including:
1. Consumer protection issues in e-business due to non-uniform cyber laws across countries.
2. Types of cyber crimes like computer fraud, credit card abuse, software piracy, and viruses. Laws combating these crimes.
3. Benefits and disadvantages of electronic cash compared to physical cash.
4. How electronic data interchange streamlines business processes by replacing paper documents with electronic formats.
E-commerce refers to buying and selling of goods and services over the internet using HTML, HTTP, and server applications. It improves market efficiency by eliminating middlemen, providing easy price comparisons, and giving sellers price elasticity information. The four categories of e-commerce are business-to-consumer, business-to-business, consumer-to-consumer, and e-government. M-commerce is e-commerce conducted on mobile devices, driven by the popularity of smartphones and improving wireless technologies.
Electronic governance or e-governance is the application of information and communication technology (ICT) for delivering government services, exchange of information, communication transactions, integration of various stand-alone systems and services between government-to-citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B), government-to-government (G2G) , government-to-employees (G2E) as well as back office processes and interactions within the entire government framework.

Emerging Cyber Security Opportunity in IndiaSam Ghosh
The document discusses the emerging cyber security opportunity in India. It notes that cybercrime was a $1.5 trillion market globally in 2018, far exceeding India's GDP. COVID-19 has accelerated digitization and work from home trends, creating more opportunities for cyberattacks. The Indian cyber security industry was expected to reach $3.05 billion by 2022 prior to COVID-19, with the BFSI and IT/ITeS sectors spending the most. The pandemic is increasing threats like phishing while also shifting IT spending priorities to security. Overall the long term prospects for India's cyber security industry remain promising due to increased digitization across industries.
This document summarizes key points from Chapter 6 of the textbook "Introduction to Information Systems" regarding e-business and e-commerce. It defines electronic commerce and different types including business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and consumer-to-consumer. It also outlines major e-commerce mechanisms like auctions and storefronts. Additionally, it discusses benefits and limitations of e-commerce as well as ethical and legal issues related to online business.
This chapter introduces electronic commerce and discusses its key concepts. It describes how e-commerce involves using technology, particularly the Internet, to conduct business transactions. The chapter outlines different models of e-commerce, including business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and others. It also discusses how economic forces have driven a second wave of e-commerce focused on profitability through analyzing business processes and revenue models. The chapter covers challenges of global e-commerce like cultural and legal differences between countries.
The document discusses whether there should be governance for e-commerce in India. It outlines the current regulatory framework covering IT acts, contract acts, consumer protection acts, and data privacy laws. It also reviews regulations in other countries like the European Union, South Korea, and the UK. The document concludes by proposing areas that could be covered under a new e-commerce law in India, including recognizing e-commerce as a business sector, limiting liability for third-party goods, and harmonizing laws around logistical services.
This document discusses e-commerce and its various types. It defines e-commerce as any business transactions conducted over the internet, including the buying and selling of goods and services.

This document summarizes a study of how B2B e-commerce players in India have increasingly adopted BPO business models, especially in procurement and disposal services. The study examines case studies of four leading Indian B2B e-commerce firms to analyze the evolution of their business models in the context of inadequate domestic market opportunities. It finds an overall trend of these firms adopting BPO and ITES business models in a reactive way to lack of revenue growth in core e-commerce areas. The paper also acknowledges limitations due to the lack of authentic data on the Indian e-commerce sector.
The Public Procurement Service of Korea (PPS) received the 2003 UN Public Service Award for its e-procurement system called GePS. GePS digitized the entire government procurement process from purchase requests to payments. It provides a single online window for 27,000 public organizations and 70,000 suppliers. GePS has increased transparency, reduced costs, and streamlined procedures in Korean public procurement.
The Information Technology Act of 2000 and its subsequent amendments provided the enabling legal framework needed for e-commerce to grow in India. It established definitions for cybercrimes and electronic signatures. As a result, e-commerce in India saw tremendous growth after 2000, reaching billions of dollars by 2020. However, the law needs further updates to stay current with technological changes. Compliance with the IT Act is important for entities operating in the digital and mobile sectors in India.
E-commerce refers to business transactions conducted electronically over the internet. It has evolved from early internet commerce to today's online transactions between businesses (B2B), businesses and consumers (B2C), consumers and businesses (C2B), and consumers and other consumers (C2C).

The document discusses India's Union Budget 2018 and proposed changes to taxation laws regarding the digital economy. It proposes introducing the concept of "significant economic presence" to determine a foreign company's nexus with India for tax purposes, beyond just physical presence. This would allow India to tax digital businesses that have large revenues or user bases within India. The budget also expands the concept of "agency permanent establishment" to prevent avoidance of taxes through contractual arrangements. Overall, the changes aim to ensure foreign digital companies pay appropriate taxes in India as the existing laws are not adequate for the modern digital economy. However, implementing these unilateral changes may lead to increased tax litigation with other countries.

Key objectives include controlling how user data from India is collected and stored, and promoting its usage to develop the country. The draft policy proposes measures like barring discounts, limiting foreign direct investment, compulsory registration, and controlling the sale of prohibited items.
