A wireless transmission system that uses satellites for broadcast communications. GEO - MEO - LEO

Types of e-commerce

B2B B2C C2C

buy-side marketplace

B2B model in which organizations buy needed products or services from other organizations electronically, often through a reverse auction.

sell-side marketplace

B2B model in which organizations sell to other organizations from their own private e-marketplace or from a third-party site.

Benefits of E-Commerce

Benefits to organizations - Makes national and international markets more accessible - Lowers costs of processing, distributing, and retrieving information Benefits to customers - Can access a vast number of products and services around the clock (24/7/365) Benefits to society - Can more easily and conveniently deliver information, services and products to people in cities, rural areas and developing countries

e-payments

Computer-based systems that allow customers to pay for goods and services electronically, rather than writing a check or using cash. includes credit cards and e-money

C2C

Electronic commerce in which both the buyer and the seller are individuals (not businesses).

B2B

Electronic commerce in which both the sellers and the buyers are business organizations.

B2C

Electronic commerce in which the sellers are organizations and the buyers are individuals; also known as e-tailing.

e-exchanges

Electronic marketplaces in which there are many sellers and many buyers, and entry is open to all; frequently owned and operated by a third party.

Legal issues with e-commerce

Fraud on the Internet Domain Names Sales Taxes and other Fees Copyright

wireless sensor networks

Interconnected, battery-powered, wireless sensors called "motes" Placed in the physical environment to collect and transmit data

web 2.0

New generation of the WWW. A loose collection of information technologies and applications, plus the websites that use them. Users are now "creators" of info and active participants (social interaction, collaboration, info sharing)

Partial vs Full e-commmerce

PARTIAL EC - click-and-mortar organizations - buy physical book from amazon - iTunes FULL (PURE) EC - virtual organizations - buy e-book from amazon - nordstrom

Public - Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Hulu, etc Private (enterprise social media) - Application of social networking "inside the firewall" to improve collaboration and communication among members of the organization (Skype)

computer network

System that connects computers and other devices so that data can be transmitted among them

Limitations of E-Commerce

Technological Limitations - Lack of universally accepted security and e-payment standards - Insufficient telecommunications bandwidth, especially in less-developed countries - Accessibility may be expensive in these countries Non-technological Limitations - Perceptions that EC is not secure, has unresolved legal issues, lacks a critical mass of sellers and buyers
