...An advantage of using an open environment is increased speed, having a virtual storefront is less expensive than operating a real one. It is also cheaper than what you would have to pay for utilities and everything with having a store. An insecure e-commerce gateway page will usually speed up the transaction process but won’t necessarily translate into the sales. With an insecure e-commerce page reduces the fees that you would have to pay because it does not involve a third party to handle the transactions. There is no encrypting involved so you do not have to pay a programmer to do that. The problem with that is though when people wish to buy products from you they would print the page out, fill it out and then fax it with their credit card information to you. There are some drawbacks to doing business the print and fax method, most online shoppers won’t go near an insecure e-commerce page. Doing it this way makes it easier for Identify theft to happen as well because you have to fax them the information and people can keep the faxed copy. The BBB and the Federal Trade commission warn and advise people against site usage that does not provide a secure e-commerce transaction. When it comes to purchasing music or videos a person can get them right away by downloading them to their computers. Most people want to buy from sites that are easy for them to pay for the product and get it soon after they pay for it. The disadvantages defiantly outweigh the advantages on an...

...E-Business Online Business Expansion Proposal Viability This proposal is in response to the assignment to develop an online presence for our current business Quick Service. Quick Service is an automotive oil and lube service. In the past we have focused on word of mouth, newspaper ads, and the Yellow Pages to drive our business. In the past we have been very successful using these marketing methods. But in today’s business climate it has become very apparent that we need to pursue offering our services online. The viability of offering our service online is very strong. Reliable statistics from 2007 show that there were over 254 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States (Research and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2010). No doubt at least that number still holds true in 2011. For the sake of obtaining some numbers that are realistic and that make sense let’s consider only half of those vehicles will have their oil changed once each quarter. Half of 254 million is 127 million. Each of those should have the oil changed at least four times each year. 127 million times 4 oil changes amounts to 508 million oil changes. While the potential “oil change” market is difficult to accurately estimate. This is a very conservative estimate that is likely to be 20% lower than actual. By expanding to offer our services online we will gain exposure and make it easier for us to gain...

In recent times, the economic environment has changed dramatically. Money and land are no longer the most important resource for a company’s success. It is now information.

Shocking traditional value chains in the bookselling industry, Amazon opened thousands of virtual bookstores in its first few months of operation. Bezos graduated from Princeton and was the youngest vice president at Banker’s Trust in New York.

...An analytical framework for evaluating e-commerce business models and strategies Chung-Shing Lee The author Chung-Shing Lee is Director of Electronic Commerce Resource Center and an Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Technology Management in the School of Business at Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington, USA. Keywords Internet, Economy, Innovation, Strategy Abstract Electronic commerce or business is more than just another way to sustain or enhance existing business practices. Rather, e-commerce is a paradigm shift. It is a ``disruptive’’ innovation that is radically changing the traditional way of doing business. The industry is moving so fast because it operates under totally different principles and work rules in the digital economy. A general rule in e-commerce is that there is no simple prescription and almost no such thing as an established business or revenue model for companies even within the same industry. Under such conditions, an analytical framework is needed to assist e-commerce planners and strategic managers in assessing the critical success factors when formulating e-commerce business models and strategies. This research develops an analytical framework based on the theories of transaction costs and switching costs. Both demand-side and supply-side economies of scale and scope are also applied to the development of this framework. In addition, e-commerce revenue models and strategies are also discussed. Based...

Over the past twenty years Internet has become the lifeline of any business.

However, there are challenges for e-commerce to grow in future, it will grow but the growth will vary from country to country and affect the online market at various time periods and the main question is how fast will it grow and what will be the scope of its growth in the future 5 years. These are the main questions that will be addressed in this essay, which will focus on three interrelated broad themes that e-commerce involve: society, business and technology. It is a period of reinvention involving the extension of Internet technologies, and the discovery of new business models based on consumer-generated content and social networking.

...E- Business Strategy For the Broadway Café to get more business we need to come up with a e-business strategy first. An e-business is the conducting of business on the internet not only buying and selling, but also serving customers and collaborating with business partners (pg.87 Bus. Driven). At the Broadway Café we realize that putting up simple websites for customers, employees, and partners does not create an e-business. We must come up with something that’s innovative, adds value, and provides helpful information. The type of e-business I would deploy for the Broadway Café would be online marketing which I would create my website and try to come up with way s to attract visitors to the website. The way I would do that is by using a search engine optimization (SEO) which uses search engines submissions, inbound links, keywords and page descriptions to attract the search engines to display your site in the search results. Another way is for me to advertise through other websites. An e-business strategy would help attract customers by SEO and social networking sites. Social networking sites is the most new and powerful way to drive traffic to your website which includes Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and others. To be effective in those would involve carefully avoiding spamming while still managing to display my talents and links to my site. A few more good ways would be street crews promoting my site, event sponsorship, and public service activities. ...
