Impact of e commerce on various sectors (Education, Entertainment, Health, Fi...Mamta Bhola
E-commerce is buying or selling of goods and services over the internet that includes a wide range of online business activities
E-COMMERCE has brought the revolution in almost every sector of economy which includes women's /men' s fashion, electronics ,home furnishings, entertainment, health issues, publishing, financial services, education etc.
Electronic retailing (E-tailing) is the sale of goods and services through the Internet. ... E-tailing requires companies to tailor their business models to capture Internet sales, which can include building out distribution channels such as warehouses, Internet webpages, and product shipping centers.
Web business is the significance of improvement. It is the market by driving arrangements by exposing issues around an online store's picture and thing commitments. That suggests at whatever point you buy and offer something on the web then you get drew in with online business. It is starting at now a champion among the most basic parts of the Internet to create.
Once you are done with a good planning and modeling the launch of your new venture is equally important. Learn the key elements to launch your own business in India and discover the path traced from the startup stage to the IPO. Also understand the revival and exit startegy to milk the venture.
Broadly, e-commerce means doing business over the internet. This implies that either goods can be delivered offline or products can be “digitalized” and delivered online. E-commerce however is marred by serious drawbacks. India only has 100 million active internet users. This implies that the internet usage in India is pretty poor. The problem is further aggravated by the fact that there is low credit card penetration coupled with slow internet speeds and fulfillment issues. As of today e-commerce is merely a 10 billion dollar market in India which is 1/6th of the US market. Despite this gloomy scenario, there are some important trends in e-commerce to look out for. This includes the fact that offline retailers are trying to go online, media biggies are getting into e-commerce, e-commerce platforms are gaining traction and mobile commerce is just beginning to take off, examples being banks and Indian Railways.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. E-entrepreneur
An e-entrepreneur is defined as an
individual willing to take the risk of
investing time and money in an
electronic business that has the
potential to make a profit or incur a loss.
E-entrepreneurship is the act of
managing an electronic enterprise that
has the potential to make a profit or
incur a loss.
3. Bricks and Mortar Business
Has a material presence
Has a tangible location where potential
customers can actually walk in and
interact with employees
Examples: storefront, storage facility,
office space, or manufacturing facility
4. Virtual Business
Does not have a material space
designed to receive customers
Transacts most of its business online
Can deal with customers from any
location that offers Internet capability
5. The E-Entrepreneurship Market
Approximately 75 percent of Americans
have access to the Internet from home.
That means over 200 million people are
potential customers for the
entrepreneur with an Internet site.
6. History of E-Entrepreneurship
In the early 1990s, electronic data interchange was
standardized and companies could reliably complete
transactions among themselves.
In 1992, Compuserve offered online retail products to
its customers.
Netscape arrived on the scene in 1994 and provided
users with a simple and colorful browser with which
to surf the Internet.
Netscape also provided a safe online transaction
technology called Secure Sockets Layer.
7. (continued)
History of E-Entrepreneurship
The following year saw the launch of Amazon.com
and eBay.
In 1998, DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line, which
provided fast, always-on Internet service, was offered
to customers across California.
By 1999 retail spending over the Internet reached an
estimated $20 billion.
In 2004, the U.S. government extended the original
1998 moratorium on Internet taxes until at least 2009.
8. E-Entrepreneurship
in the Business Plan
The e-entrepreneurship components of the
business planning process integrate your
Internet site and your basic business model.
They should address web site planning,
development, marketing, legal, financial,
management, and special considerations.
They should be designed to ensure that your
Internet content reaches the right customer
while leveraging the full value of the Internet
as a marketing tool.
9. Create an E-Business
The first step toward e-entrepreneurship
is usually the selection and registration
of a domain name, which is the unique
name that identifies an Internet site.
The selection of a domain name is a
chief concern when doing business
online.
10. Domain Name Process
Choose a domain name that is easy to
remember and is not easily confused with
other names.
Use a search engine to check for other
companies using the same name or a
derivation of it.
Through registration it becomes a legitimate
part of the Domain Name System (DNS).
11. Domain Name System
Every computer linked to the Internet has an
exclusive address, called its Internet
Protocol (IP) address.
The DNS makes using the Internet easier by
allowing a recognizable string of letters (the
domain name) to be used instead of the
numeric IP address.
So instead of keying a long number, you can
key the URL (Uniform Resource Locator), for
example http://domainname.com.
12. ICANN
Registration of domain names is controlled by
a private-public partnership called the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN).
Numerous companies have been accredited
by ICANN to act as registrars.
Domain names can be registered through the
many different registrar companies.
13. Components of
an E-Business Site
Web site design
Content
Web host
Security and/or firewalls
Search site submission
On-site search engine
Database software

Alternative payment options

Customer service
E-mail notification
Customer FAQs
15. E-Entrepreneurship and the Law
Fraud and deception are unlawful no
matter what the medium.
The Federal Trade Commission has
enforced and will continue enforcing its
consumer protection laws.
16. Advertising
Online consumers are protected by
many of the general principles of
advertising law that also apply to
Internet ads.
The same consumer protection laws
that apply to commercial activities in
other media apply online.
17. Spam
Spam is defined as unsolicited “junk” e-
mail sent to large numbers of people to
promote products or services.
18. E-Consumer Complaints
The FTC has an online general
complaint form that can be used by
consumers to register complaints
relating to online transactions in the
U.S.
Another FTC form may be used for e-
business complaints involving a foreign
company.
20. Global E-Entrepreneurship
