© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 10 E-Commerce Definitions Business-to-business (B2B) – Both sides of the transaction are businesses, non- profit organizations, or governments Business-to-consumer (B2C) – Transactions in which buyers are individual consumers Consumer-to-consumer (C2C) – Consumers sell directly to each other Consumer-to-business (C2B) – Individuals sell services or goods to businesses

12
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 12 Economics of E-Commerce Costs of information exchange are dramatically reduced Barriers to entry are lower Time constraints almost disappear Information and communication is cheap and easy
13
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 13 Types of Information Product — drawings, specifications, video, or simulation demonstrations, prices Production Processes — capacities, commitments, product plans Transportation — carrier availability, lead times, costs Inventory — inventory tracking, levels, costs, and location Table S11.1
14
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 14 Types of Information Suppliers — product catalog, quality history, lead times, terms, and conditions Supply Chain Alliances — key contact, partners’ roles and responsibilities, schedules Supply Chain Process and Performance — process descriptions, performance measures such as quality and delivery Table S11.1
15
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 15 Types of Information Competitor — benchmarking, product offerings, market share Sales and Marketing — point of sale (POS) data entry, promotions, pricing, discounts Customer — sales history and forecasts Costs — market indexes, auction results Table S11.1
16
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 16 Benefits and Limitations Benefits of E-Commerce Improved, lower-cost information that makes buyers and sellers more knowledgeable has an inherent power to drive down costs Lower entry costs increase information sharing Available 24 hours a day, virtually any place in the world, enabling convenient transactions for those concerned Table S11.2
17
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 17 Benefits and Limitations Availability expands the market for both buyer and seller Decreases the cost of creating, processing, distributing, storing, and retrieving paper-based information Reduces the cost of communication Richer communication than traditional paper and telephone communication because of video clips, voice, and demonstrations Table S11.2
18
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 18 Benefits and Limitations Fast delivery of digitized products such as drawings, documents, and software Increased flexibility of location. (That is, it allows some processes to be located anywhere electronic communications can be established, and allows people to shop and work from home.) Table S11.2
19
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 19 Benefits and Limitations Limitations of E-Commerce Lack of system security, reliability, and standards Lack of privacy Some transactions are still rather slow Integrating e-commerce software with existing software and databases is still a challenge Table S11.2
20
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 20 Benefits and Limitations Lack of trust in (1) unknowns about the integrity of those on the other end of a transaction, (2) integrity of the transaction itself, and (3) electronic money that is only bits and bytes Table S11.2 Security and risk are major factors in E-commerce
21
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.S11 – 21 Product Design Easily shared knowledge and information allows quicker and lower cost design cycles that can involve participants in diverse locations Product data can be managed over the Internet Engineering changes and configuration management can be extended along the supply chain
