Abstract
Applying E-Commerce in Business deconstructs e-commerce into its main constituents and explains how they fit together. Drawing on examples from around the globe, the book examines specific elements of e-commerce including: an overview of the subject and relevant issues and frameworks; the foundations on which e-commerce is built; the 'dot com' phenomenon and legal and ethical implications of e-commerce; the academic debate on the impact of e-commerce on economics and management thinking; and a look to the future and the potential of new technology.
