RES300 – 01/04/08 – e-Business?
Found an interesting article today from a new library book in the NMIT library ‘Mastering e-Business’. ‘e-commerce: The online exchange of value, without geographical or time restrictions, between companies and their partners, employees, or customers (Singh et al., 2001).’ ‘e-business: In many ways e-business encompasses the above definition for example, would be the macro factors commonly known as the PESTLE factors. Here, we need to consider the influences of Politics, Economics, Society, Technology Legal and Environmental. How, for example, will these influence both businesses and customers in the future?’
I thought this article was very interesting as it opened my mind as to what is outside e-Commerce; which is e-Business. e-Business covers a broader range of topics whereas e-Commerce just focuses on the commerce side of things. I think changing e-Commerce to e-Business for my Project in second semester might be a better option.
Here is where the article was from:
Groucutt, J & Griseri, P. (2004). Defining e-business and e-commerce. Mastering e-business. P 19. Published by Palgrave Macmillan : N.Y.
