You are energized when Lisa asks you for suggestions on how to use club and public resources to keep Club IT’s edge as the high-energy, high-impact club it strives to be. The Internet research you have been doing for Lisa and Ruben has been eye-opening, but it is also exasperatingly slow on their dialup connection in their cramped back office.

...language, time and distance, infrastructure, and currency perspective. Additionally challenges related to state, regional and national law too are examined. Challenges implementing multi-stage e-commerce model Implementing global systems for a multi-stage ecommerce model can be a daunting challenge and yet provide a growth opportunity simultaneously. Simplistically, e-commerce refers to some form of electronic activity (e.g. buying or selling goods or services online) , that cross organizational barriers, with or without the involvement of WWW or Internet. Ecommerce systems can be implemented as Business-to-Business (B2B), Business-to-Consumer (B2C) , Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) and Business-to-Government (B2G) models (IBMR, 2008). Regardless of the model, if their associated challenges are well-identified and proactively addressed, then a new world of opportunity due to market expansion and growth potential, awaits the companies, undertaking the risk to implement these e-commerce models. In my opinion, these challenges can be successfully addressed by adopting a four step approach, as below: 1. Identify and analyze the applicable challenge. 2. Devise suitable mitigation strategies or counter-measures to address them. 3. Incorporate an ongoing method of work (MOW) to regularly and...

...E-commerce entails the use of the Internet in the marketing, identification, payment and delivery of goods and services. This paper highlights the status, statutes, potential and constraints to e-commerce development in Bangladesh. Both the statutory laws as well as the challenges in implementing them are discussed. Major legal, regulatory and institutional constraints to e-commerce are identified. The paper also lists specific policy changes aimed at bringing improvements to the legal and regulatory environment affecting e-commerce. Dimensions of E-Commerce The three dimensions of e-commerce are Business-to-Consumers (B2C), Business-to Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G). B2C e-commerce is unlikely to be of much use in the near future in Bangladesh because of low per capita income, a weak infrastructural and legal environment, lack of trust between business and consumers. B2C for cross border trade is also limited by the factors suggested for the domestic front. In addition, non-availability of international credit cards, foreign currency remittance restrictions, delays and informal payments at customs clearance even for small value and quantity items will discourage B2C. The B2B application already exists in the export sector of Bangladesh, especially in the Ready Made Garments (RMG) industry. RMG has the lion’s share of the export earnings in Bangladesh. The RMG sector has begun to use the Internet, and its dependence on ecommerce is likely to grow...

...increase has opened up new opportunities and challenges for marketing to these customers electronically. Because business customers and individual customers react differently to marketing, strategies and tactics used to reach one segment may differ from those used to reach the other. This paper will first look at how the business customer and retail customer are different, then delve into the differences between B2B and B2C marketing. Relationship Differences One important aspect of marketing is to build good relationships with customers. “In B2B or business to business this requires a commitment of time and good customer service prior to ever making that first sale.” (Warholic, 2007, p.1). One of the differentiating factors between B2B and B2C sales is the B2B sales process takes longer because business customers require more communication and product details. Business customers are not apt to purchase during the first contact with a vendor. Usually the sale, especially the first one, takes multiple contacts creating a bonding relationship. Business buyers are accustomed to providing “data about their companies and job functions” when “registering for trade shows or subscribing to business and trade publications.” (Furlong, 2007, p. 3). This exchange of data is common practice between businesses allowing for the building of trusting relationships. Business customers tend to set up accounts with the vendor from whom they purchase...
