    Study Notes

    Overview of E-commerce and E-government

    • E-commerce (EC) involves events leading up to a purchase and customer service after the sale, and is not limited to business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions but also includes business-to-business (B2B) transactions.
    • B2B EC is the largest form of EC in terms of revenue, with U.S manufacturers reporting e-commerce shipments totaling over US$4 trillion in 2018 and wholesalers reporting e-commerce sales of US$2.6 trillion.
    • Companies focusing on B2C transactions also engage in B2B EC, as they source raw materials from specialized suppliers and sell finished products to distributors or wholesalers.
    • Other forms of EC include consumer-to-consumer (C2C) EC, which involves transactions between consumers on online platforms like eBay, and consumer-to-business (C2B) EC, where consumers offer products, labor, and services to companies.
    • Social commerce is a trend where organizations leverage social media to build lasting customer relationships, advertise products, or create value.
    • E-commerce is influenced by the rise of mobile devices, leading to the growth of mobile commerce (m-commerce), which is expected to double in major European economies between 2018 and 2023, reaching €330 billion.
    • Governments use e-government to provide citizens, organizations, and other governmental agencies with information about public services and allow for interaction with the government.
    • E-government involves government-to-citizen (G2C) EC, government-to-business (G2B) EC, and government-to-government (G2G) EC.
    • G2C services include e-filing taxes, online applications for ID cards, municipal services, e-voting, and electronic access to public government data.
    • G2B initiatives include e-procurement, forward auctions, online applications for export licenses, and online tax filing.
    • G2G EC is used for electronic interactions between countries or different levels of government within a country, and intergovernmental collaboration at the local, state, federal, and tribal levels.
    • The use of information systems in EC and e-government generates a wealth of data, allowing companies and governments to obtain an in-depth understanding of each individual customer and deliver individualized value propositions.
