...An advantage of using an open environment is increased speed, having a virtual storefront is less expensive than operating a real one. It is also cheaper than what you would have to pay for utilities and everything with having a store. An insecure e-commerce gateway page will usually speed up the transaction process but won’t necessarily translate into the sales. With an insecure e-commerce page reduces the fees that you would have to pay because it does not involve a third party to handle the transactions. There is no encrypting involved so you do not have to pay a programmer to do that. The problem with that is though when people wish to buy products from you they would print the page out, fill it out and then fax it with their credit card information to you. There are some drawbacks to doing business the print and fax method, most online shoppers won’t go near an insecure e-commerce page. Doing it this way makes it easier for Identify theft to happen as well because you have to fax them the information and people can keep the faxed copy. The BBB and the Federal Trade commission warn and advise people against site usage that does not provide a secure e-commerce transaction. When it comes to purchasing music or videos a person can get them right away by downloading them to their computers. Most people want to buy from sites that are easy for them to pay for the product and get it soon after they pay for it. The disadvantages defiantly outweigh the advantages on an...

...E-Business Online Business Expansion Proposal Viability This proposal is in response to the assignment to develop an online presence for our current business Quick Service. Quick Service is an automotive oil and lube service. In the past we have focused on word of mouth, newspaper ads, and the Yellow Pages to drive our business. In the past we have been very successful using these marketing methods. But in today’s business climate it has become very apparent that we need to pursue offering our services online. The viability of offering our service online is very strong. Reliable statistics from 2007 show that there were over 254 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States (Research and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2010). No doubt at least that number still holds true in 2011. For the sake of obtaining some numbers that are realistic and that make sense let’s consider only half of those vehicles will have their oil changed once each quarter. Half of 254 million is 127 million. Each of those should have the oil changed at least four times each year. 127 million times 4 oil changes amounts to 508 million oil changes. While the potential “oil change” market is difficult to accurately estimate. This is a very conservative estimate that is likely to be 20% lower than actual. By expanding to offer our services online we will gain exposure and make it easier for us to gain...

...and business development. In essence the internet made the world a smaller place. The development of the internet turned it into a valuable resource for business by affecting price standards. The internet has made business more economical for companies because of the easy entry. If a company wants to design a webpage there are already websites that walk you through the web page design process. Most importantly they are free. When people think of the internet, free comes to mind because of the availability of mass information at no cost. This has allowed businesses to cut costs or re-invest their cash flow in different projects. In e-business there is often a reduction in costs required to complete traditional business procedures (Leonard, 2006). Companies can cut costs by sending bills through an email rather than mailing out the paper bill. To finalize transactions customers don’t have to get in their cars and waste gas to drive to the business venue. They can just access the business web page, purchase away and have it delivered to them. In some cases customers have to pay for shipping but it becomes one less expense for the business. Because of this some companies are able to offer lower internet sales prices. Since the cost of the product is lower and the company may incur less to negligible selling expenses, they are able to offer lower prices to compete in the market. E-business affects prices through labor as well. Electronic units are replacing other business practices...

Bezos conceived and implemented an intelligent, global digital business. Its business is its technology; its technology is its business. Shocking traditional value chains in the bookselling industry, Amazon opened thousands of virtual bookstores in its first few months of operation. Bezos graduated from Princeton and was the youngest vice president at Banker’s Trust in New York.
