EDI: An -company, application-to-application communication of data in standard
format for business transactions, Electronic Data Interchange is a set of
standards for structuring information that is to be electronically exchanged
between and within businesses, organizations, government entities and other
groups. The standards describe structures that emulate documents, for example
purchase orders to automate purchasing.
In this era of technologies such as XML web services, the Internet and the
World Wide Web, EDI is still the data format used by the vast majority of
electronic commerce transactions in the world.

B2B: Business-to-business is a term commonly used to describe electronic
commerce transactions between businesses, as opposed to those between
businesses and other groups, such as business and individual consumers (B2C) or
business and government (B2G).
Similar to B2B, B2G is often meant to refer to B2G Marketing
The volume of B2B transactions is much higher than the volume of B2C
transactions. One reason for this is that businesses have adopted electronic
commerce technologies in greater numbers than consumers.
An example of a
B2B transaction is a chicken feed company selling its product to a chicken farm,
which is another company. "Business-to-business" can also refer to all
transactions made in an industry value chain before the finished product is sold
to the end consumer.
• B2C: Business-to-consumer (B2C, sometimes also
called Business-to-Customer) describes activities of
E-businesses serving end consumers with products
and/or services. It is often associated with electronic
commerce but also encompasses financial institutions
and other types of businesses. B2C relationships are
often established and cultivated through some form
of Internet marketing.
An example of a B2C transaction is a grocery store
selling grain-fed chickens to a consumer.
Classifications of B2C e-commerce
Online intermediaries, advertising-based models,
community-based shrimp models and fee-based

• Eprocurement: The term Public eProcurement (electronic
procurement in public sector) refers to the use of electronic
means in conducting a public procurement procedure for the
purchase of goods, works or services.
Phases: eSourcing, eNoticing, eAccess, eSubmission, eTendering
, eAwarding , eContract , eOrders, eInvoicingePayment.
• Online auction: The online auction business model is one in which
participants bid for products and services over the Internet.
The functionality of buying and selling in an auction format is
made possible through auction software which regulates the
various processes involved.
eBay, the world's largest online auction site, is one of the better
known examples.
Strength of the business model: no time constraints, no
geographical constraints, intensity of social interactions, large
number of bidders, large number of sellers, network economies,
captures consumers' surplus.
• Online catalogue
Information about products made available in electronic form
via the Internet.
Often incorporate voice and video.
•
C2C Consumer-to-consumer
Consumers sell directly to each other.
C2C involves the electronically-facilitated transactions between
consumers through some third party. A common example is the
Online auction, in which a consumer posts an item for sale and
Other consumers bid to purchase it; the third party generally
charges a flat fee or commission. The sites are only
intermediaries, just there to match consumers. They do not
have to check quality of the products being offered.
• C2B  Consumer-to-business
Individuals sell services or goods to businesses
(C2B) is an electronic commerce business model in
which
consumers offer products and services to companies
and the companies pay them. This business model is a
complete reversal of traditional business model where
companies offer goods and services to consumers.
• Ecommerce
E-commerce consists of the buying and selling of
products, services or information over electronic
systems such as the Internet and other computer
networks
• ebusiness  Electronic Business
Business process that relies on an automated
information system.
Electronic business methods enable companies to link
their internal and external data processing systems
more efficiently and flexibly, to work more closely
with suppliers and partners, and to better satisfy the
needs and expectations of their customers.
• In practice, e-business is more than just e-commerce.
While e-business refers to more strategic focus with
an emphasis on the functions that occur using
electronic capabilities, e-commerce is a subset of an
overall e-business strategy.
• E-business can be conducted using the Web, the
Internet, intranets, extranets, or some combination of
these.
ebXML
It means Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language.
It is commonly known as e-business XML, or ebXML.
It is a B2B (business-to-business) standard.
Its mission is to provide an open, XML-based infrastructure that
enables the global use of electronic business information in an
interoperable, secure, and consistent manner by all trading
partners.

Limitations of E-commerce
•
•
•
•
Lack of system security, reliability and standards
Lack of privacy
Insufficient bandwidth
Integrating e-commerce software with existing
software is not very well developed
• Lack of trust in system security
• The fact that electronic money is only bits and
bytes is also consider a limitation
E-commerce safety
• Generally, that credit card information is safe
• Card information is encrypted and unreadable to anyone
except you and the merchant
• The customer's biggest risk is having his or her credit
card number stolen as it travels from the customer's
computer to the merchant's web site. Don't believe this !!
You are much more likely to have your card number
stolen when you hand over your card to a waiter in a
restaurant to pay for a meal.
• Almost all e-commerce credit-card transactions are now
done via a secure connection, and very few card
numbers are stolen during this phase of the transaction.
