E-commerce and its Relation to E-business
The United States Census Bureau defines e-commerce as “any transaction completed over a computer mediated network that involves the transfer of ownership or rights to use goods and services. Transactions occur within selected e-business processes eg. selling process and are ‘completed’ when agreement is reached between buyer and seller to transfer ownership or rights to use goods or services.” So while e-business covers the entire range of online business dealings (from customer service to selling), e-commerce refers specifically to one entity paying for goods or services from another entity via the internet. With this in mind, remember that e-commerce can relate to all types of e-business involved in the transfer of goods or services, including but not limited to B2C, B2B and B2G.
