Business-to-business (B2B) applies to
businesses buying from and selling to each other
over the Internet. Online access to data,
including expected shipping date,delivery date,
and shipping status, provided either by the seller
or a third-party provider is widely supported by
B2B models. Electronic marketplaces represent a
new wave in B2B e-business models.
BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B)
BUSINESS MODEL

“B2B” is business-to- business commerce
conducted over the Internet(called B2B ecommerce space, or e-marketplaces)
Electronic marketplaces, or e -marketplaces , are
interactive business communities providing a central
market where multiple buyers and sellers can engage in
e-business activities . They present structures for
conducting commercial exchange, consolidating supply
chains, and creating new sales channels. Their primary
goal is to increase market efficiency by tightening and
automating the relationship between buyers and sellers.
Existing e-marketplaces allow access to various
mechanisms in which to buy and sell almost anything,


Business-to-consumer (B2C) applies to any business
that sells its products or services to consumers over
the Internet. The business-to-consumer, or B2C,
model of e-business sells products directly to retail
consumers online.. The e-business has only an online
identity through which it offers a range of products
to customers. Most B2C models generate revenue
from direct sales and processing fees. B2C also is
known as electronic retail or e-tail.

CONSUMER-TO-BUSINESS (C2B)

Consumer-to-business (C2B) applies to any consumer that
sells a product or service to a business over the Internet.
One example of this e-business model is Priceline.com
where bidders (or customers) set their prices for items
such as airline tickets or hotel rooms, and a seller decides
whether to supply them. The demand for C2B e-business
will increase over the next few years due to customer’s
desire for greater convenience and lower prices.

C2B model, also called a reverse auction or
demand collection model, enables buyers to name
their own price often binding, for a specific good
or service generating demand. The website
collects the demand bids and then offers the
bids to the participating sellers.
C2B APPLICATION


For example, when a consumer writes reviews, or
when a consumers gives a useful idea for new product
development, then this individual is creating value to
the firm, if the firm adopts the input. Excepted
concepts are crowd sourcing and co-creation.
Another form of C2B is the electronic
commerce business model, in which consumers can
offer products and services to companies and the
companies pay them. We can see this example
in blogs or internet forums where the author offers
a link back to an online business facilitating the
purchase of some product (like a book
on Amazon.com), and the author might receive
affiliate revenue from a successful sale.
CONSUMER-TO-CONSUMER (C2C)

Consumer-to-consumer (C2C) applies to sites
primarily offering goods and services to assist
consumers interacting with each other over the
Internet. auctions.C2C online communities, or
virtual communities, interact via e-mail
groups,Web-based discussion forums. C2C
business models are consumer driven and
opportunities are available to satisfy most
consumers’ needs, ranging from finding a
mortgage to job hunting. They are global swap
shops based on customer-centered
communication.
