7Principles of Information Systems, Eighth Edition
Why Learn About Electronic and Mobile Commerce?
• Most organizations have an Internet presence– Sales/marketing manager involved with e-commerce– Customer service employees help develop the Web
site– Human resource or public relations manger may
provide Web content for employees and investors

8Principles of Information Systems, Eighth Edition
An Introduction to Electronic Commerce
• Electronic commerce: conducting business activities electronically over computer networks
• Types of business activities that are strong candidates for conversion to e-commerce– Paper based– Time-consuming– Inconvenient for customers
9Principles of Information Systems, Eighth Edition

prices, features, and value
12Principles of Information Systems, Eighth Edition
Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) E-Commerce
• Subset of e-commerce that involves consumers selling directly to other consumers
• Example: eBay– Customers buy and sell items directly to each other
through the site– 181 million users buy and sell items valued at more
than $44 billion
• Other popular online auction Web sites: Craigslist, uBid, Yahoo! Auctions, Onsale, and WeBidz
13Principles of Information Systems, Eighth Edition
Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) E-Commerce
•Example: eBay
• Other popular online auction Web sites: Craigslist, uBid, Yahoo! Auctions, Onsale, and WeBidz
