23. RETAILERS Assume control of inventory set a nonnegotiable price to the consumer sell physical products online Example: LandsEnd.com

24. RETAILERS-continued The primary revenue model is based on product/service sales Cost model includes: procurement, inventory management, order fulfillment, customer service (including returns)

25. Retailers-continued Because e-ratailers assume control of physical goods their ratio of tangible to intangible assets is much higher than for a firm that does not assume control of physical inventory

26. MARKETPLACES Do not take control of physical inventory Sell products with a nonnegotiable price and complete the sale online Procurement and inventory management costs often lower than e-retailer costs

27. MARKETPLACE Companies Sell information based products and services Example: Insurance QuickenInsurance Example: Loans E-Loan

28. E-marketplaces Revenue model includes commission on transaction fee on each sale Since sale transactions take place online- must electronically link to supplier databases and transaction systems to ensure that transactions can be completed and revenue recognized

29. E-marketplaces Since must electronically link to supplier databases and transaction systems to ensure that transactions can be completed and revenue recognized this might be reflected in cost model

34. Infomediaries-continued Because information is available elsewhere and the cost of packaging and delivering the information is relatively low, barriers to entry are low as well

35. Infomediaries-continued Infomediaries quickly evolve from simply brokering information Example: Individual.com

36. EXCHANGES May or may not take control of inventory (tendency is to try to avoid assuming inventory carrying costs whenever feasible) May or may not complete the final sales transaction online

37. EXCHANGES -continued Key differentiating feature: price not set; negotiated by the buyer and seller at the time of the sale B2B, B2C, C2C auction exchanges

38. EXCHANGES -continued Examples? eBay FreeMarkets Online Chemdex

39. TRENDS IN THE FOCUSED DISTRIBUTION MODEL Creating hybrid businesses that combine several different business models- each of which generates separate revenue stream B2B exchanges evolving to vertical and horizontal portals E-retailers evolving to vertical portals

40. PORTALS Horizontal Vertical Affinity

41. PORTALS -continued Can be differentiated by asking the following Does the business provide gateway access to the full range of Internet information and services, including search, e-mail, instant messaging, chat, and other community building tools?

42. PORTALS -continued Can be differentiated by asking the following Does the business provide access to deep content, products, and services within vertical industry(for example, financial services) or related industries (for example, travel)
