E-Commerce

E-Commerce has become the driving force of the global market. The speed of activity and of decisions to keep pace with the growth of globalisation, global commerce and global trade requires not only instant communications but also instant data generation with the validity of the data as up-to-date as possible. This book has been specially prepared to acquaint the newcomer to the world of business, and also those following traditional methods, to learn what e-commerce is all about. It provides the reader with not only a basic understanding of the subject but also trains him to use it properly and for profit and gain. The technology of the Internet has been explained in easy-to-understand terms. In fact, the entire book has been written to ensure that the learner does not get bogged down in technical details but gains a crystal clear concept of e-commerce and its applications. The chapters therefore have been arranged in a logical and chronological order so that readers can go from step to step without difficulty. Beginning with an introduction that sets the pace of the subject, they include Registering a Domain Name in E-Commerce; B2B E-Commerce; Consumer E-Commerce; Selecting B2B Applications, Services and Software; Essential E-Commerce Technologies; Transactions; Consumer Privacy; Future Growth of E-Commerce; and a Bibliography and Index for further study and instant location of required subjects. This book will, therefore, be useful for all businessmen and traders wishing to get hooked to globalisation and students and teachers of commerce, management and information technology streams.
