Abstract
The paper looks at obstacles to the growth of e-commerce, such as taxation and uncertain legislation, and addresses one obstacle -- lack of consumer confidence -- with several concrete suggestions. The paper suggests that courage is the main thing lacking from most small businesses that keeps them away from e-commerce. It identifies major players in the e-commerce market, and focuses on Southwest Airlines as a company which revolutionized their business through a strategy centered around e-commerce. In conclusion, the paper likens today's businessmen, setting forth to develop an e-commerce market, to Columbus -- they may end up somewhere entirely different from where they expected, but it will surely be worth the journey.

"The size of the Internet makes it possible for even the small businessman to enter, as long as he can satisfy orders and keep an inventory so as to fill orders effectively and efficiently.
"The major barriers are timidity, indecision and unpreparedness to enter e-commerce. The Internet will only grow. It will not fade or disappear as a fad might. And, additional safeguards are constantly evolving to finally stymie the electronic intruders.
"In short, e-commerce is a worldwide opportunity which will be the major means of building business in the 21st century."

Abstract
This document discusses the legal, ethical, and regulatory dimensions of operating a business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce website and of operating a business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce website. The consensus is that while many of the infrastructural solutions for these two orientations of e-commerce are the same, some very important differences, such as the regulatory requirements across industries, are dramatically different.
From the Paper
"Business-to-business (B2B) websites differ in various ways from business-to-consumer (B2C) websites from a legal, ethical, and regulatory perspective. One of the most obvious differences between the two are the fact that many B2B sites have some sort of contractual obligation to complete an order in a given time period and according to certain specifications (Luftman, 2003). In the B2C environment this same contractual undertone does not exist although e-commerce sites of the B2C variety try to limit variance in how they treat customers and fulfillment concerns as this is a quality issue."

From the Paper
"Culture trends present both threats and opportunities for a firm. The retail industry is a customer. The industry must understand that the buying power of baby boomers and teenagers has grown. Parents are busy and are entrusting their children with more money to use and buy what is needed. There are also a number of cultural trends that must be followed. Cocooning refers to customers who retreat into their safe, cozy "homelike" environment. This boosts sales in the catalogue and on-line shopping areas. Another trend is called Down-aging. In this situation, customers search out precuts that are symbols of youth, renewal and rejuvenation to offset the routine and intensity of their adult lives. Both these trends provide ample opportunities for the retail industry."

"From the Federal Maritime Commission's point of view E-commerce presents many other issues that shall need careful consideration by many parties along with the two entities to resolve. Therefore, E-commerce and Freight Forwarders particularly maritime forwarders are to say the least worlds apart if not universes apart. This is not to say however that the works of reconciliation are not underway. Indeed there has been much discussion, revision and other efforts to bring the two entities into some form of unison for several years. Dating back as far as the early 1980s the Federal Maritime Commission is devoting great energy in this area as well as have the emerging E-commerce businesses' associations."

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed explanation of e-commerce and how it works. It explains what e-commerce is from a business perspective, a communications perspective, a service perspective, and an online perspective. The paper also looks at the different classifications and categories of e-commerce. Benefits of e-commerce, standards in e-commerce, and its prospects for the future are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Electronic commerce or e-commerce is the term used to describe all forms of information exchange and business transactions based on information and communication technologies. There are different types of formal definitions of e-commerce, but the wide scope involved has resulted in many definitions focusing on only certain aspects. A fairly comprehensive definition covers e-commerce from four different perspectives (Kalakota and Whinston, 1997, p.38) - communications, business process, service and online. From a communications perspective, e-commerce is the transfer of information, products, services and payments over communication and electronic networks. The business process is about application of information and communications technology for automation of business activities and transactions."

From the Paper
"E-commerce has changed the way the world do business, plain and simple. It has single handedly brought more people, countries, enterprises and governments together to the same world market than all other forms of conducting methods, combined. This name, given to the electronic method of executing business, has made the task of buying every available merchandise exponentially easier and has therefore made all the more products accessible to the general population as well as businesses and industries. The boom in online trade is gaining alacrity and is destined to become the method of choice for all those who make transactions and engage in commerce. There is, however, one major problem that is hampering the success of e-commerce, and that is the risk of security that online websites face everyday. This threat to the privacy of online shoppers is limiting the outspread and global adoption of online trade. To prevent the e-commerce process from getting stunted in its infancy, effective methods have to be devised to overcome this major hurdle in the path of international technological and commercial progress."

"E-commerce is defined as retail service that allows customers to access and perform transactions on their accounts from their computers with Internet connection to companies' web sites using Web browser software, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Since 1995, Internet has become less expensive and available for customers to access information, exchange products and services world wide from their personal computers and modems at home and/or work. The increasing population of Internet customers and demand for payments via the Internet has an impact on retail services provided by many companies and force them to extend their products and services to customers on the Internet. Many new Internet-based services have been initiated and launched into the market and attract both old and new customers to continue their services."

Abstract
This paper examines how the emergence of the Internet as a locus for commercial activities in the form of "e-commerce" has led some economists to conclude that new possibilities for development of a truly and generally efficient marketplace are being created. It analyzes how the e-commerce environment has a direct impact upon overall sales for any company that depends on sales as a means of enjoying a return on investment (ROI). It shows how e-commerce has the potential to create an entirely new sales environment that will adjust the ways in which a myriad assortment of activities are undertaken and organizations themselves structured. Financial management activities - ranging from investment decisions to capital resource allocation to inventory control and distribution channels - will all be impacted more and more as e-commerce becomes integral to business activities.
From the Paper
"Another way in which e-commerce and the Internet are creating efficient markets is through development of "cost transparency." Sinha (2000) states that economists define cost transparency as a situation made possible by the abundance of free, easily obtained information on the Internet. Seller's production, marketing and distributions costs are made more transparent to purchasers, who can then negotiate favorable purchase prices that more nearly represent an adequate return on cost of production. When it becomes possible to compare the products of Company A to those of Company B in this manner, the balance between costs and prices becomes more nearly that which would be expected in a situation of perfect competition."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Internet has enabled e-commerce to be leveraged as a business solution for even the smallest of competitors and has opened up vast new markets to enterprises that could not have imagined selling their products or services internationally in previous eras. The author points out that the Internet and e-commerce initiatives have improved enterprise supply chain efficiency and made them far more transparent; however, many Internet based business solutions are cost and resource inhibitors for some businesses. The paper stresses that e-commerce is not so much a competitive option as it is a competitive necessity for the contemporary organization.

From the Paper
"New retail models based on e-commerce that have established an entirely new sales channel are of considerable economic importance, yet represent but one form of business operations or transactions conducted through electronic media that comprise e-commerce. Other equally valid e-commerce models include internal transactions within a small business or provision of information to an external organization without charge; i.e. a service provider where the revenue, if any, is not generated directly from the small business process transaction."

Abstract
This paper explains that e-commerce facilitates the emergence of new small businesses as solely e-commerce-based entering the business world as a virtual companies and traders, because the use of the internet reduces the monetary investment needed for real estate, staffing and other associated costs associated with a "brick and mortar" company. The author points out that the internet enables information, services and value to be transferred seamlessly around the globe; thereby, e-commerce enables small and medium-sized firms to participate in international trade and for small and large companies to have equal access to this medium. The paper relates that e-commerce has obvious implications for the internationalization of Australian business, specifically on small businesses and the Australian economy as a whole, which otherwise is isolated physically from the main global centers of commerce.
From the Paper
"This business has embraced the opportunities that e-commerce and the internet has to offer. A small privately owned company, You Name It Labels Pty Ltd have found a niche in the market with their product and have invested in advertising in areas most likely to reach its primary target market. By embarking on an e-business venture this company has a strong internet presence for their product as many small businesses in Australia still shy from this medium - thus presenting less competition. Their website is concise and accessible and has far increased potential for increased trade that mail order, which would be the traditional form this business would have taken."

Abstract
This paper explains that e-commerce or e-business (electronic commerce), which followed the birth of the Internet, is defined as any form of business transaction in which the parties interact electronically rather than by physical exchanges or direct physical contact. The author points out that e-commerce began in 1968 with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards, which allowed different companies to perform electronic dealings with one another but without any guarantee that companies had the same transactions capabilities; however, in 1984, the ASC X12 standards were established, which guaranteed conformity creating an escalation in e-commerce. The paper includes listings comparing advantages and disadvantages and B2B and B2C, many statistical tables and several long quotations, including embedded quotations.
From the Paper
"In the U.S. alone, the growth of B2B and B2C e-commerce went into the billions from 2001 to 2005. But these are media the started with surfing the Net on the PC. Another evolution to e-commerce is the m-commerce or the mobile commerce which is the buying and selling of goods and services through wireless handheld devices such as cellular telephone and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Known as next-generation e-commerce, m-commerce enables users to access the Internet without needing to find a place to plug in."

From the Paper
"The Internet and e-commerce present enormous opportunities to entrepreneurs, as they provide access to world markets, achieving the kind of market presence and penetration that has traditionally been exclusively available to larger companies (NSW, Enos).
