B2B Exchange

Paper Summary:

The information and transactional interchange conducted through the internet from one business to another is called business 2 business (B2B). This paper discusses how B2B is growing very rapidly and is the future trend of conducting business. In particular, it looks at the advantages and disadvantages of using a B2B exchange for the company Prehistoric Computers, which would allow communication through technology to other business partners and or establish new ventures.

From the Paper:

"Another drawback of the public exchange is the management of increased demand. Having unlimited number of customers subscribing to the public exchange will greatly increase demand for the company's products and services (2006). This will require more resources to manage the manufacturing process and the supply of products. For a small company such as Prehistoric, an increase in demand will mean a change in current processes of the supply chain as well as an expansion of the manufacturing and warehouse facilities. In the long run, a public exchange will not be profitable for Prehistoric. "
