Abstract
This research study discusses the ongoing threat to the burgeoning e-commerce industry, including the far-reaching implications that the danger to security and online privacy can cause. It also addresses some of the fundamental flaws in the way e-commerce is being conducted at present and offers solutions that would eliminate such glitches from future online e-commerce transactions. The explanation of the solutions provided will be done using real-world scenarios and practical examples that vividly explain how and why this threat has to be curbed. The resolution offered is intended to quicken the advancement of the e-commerce business portals worldwide without any fear of security breaches. This is done so by focusing and extracting the key limitations and weak points of the current state of e-commerce.
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."

Supply Chains in e-Business, 2006.
A discussion regarding the challenges and obstacles of supply chains and e-commerce.

Abstract
This paper discusses the business to business and the business to consumer website supply chain characteristics. The conclusion of this paper, is that while the business to business website and enterprise might have a shorter and more transparent supply chain with greater consumer integration, both employ many of the same technology solutions to complete their supply chains.
From the Paper
" A supply chain can be defined as the sum of all retailers, distributors, transportation methods, storage locations and facilities, as well as supplier networks that contribute to an enterprise's sale, delivery, and/or production of its product or service (Dennis, Fenech & Merrilees, 2004). It is integrally involved with a company's logistics and overall operations in that operations management oversees the smooth functioning of the organization's supply chain. A supply chain that has bottlenecks, excess inventory, or difficulties sourcing products or services inevitably results in a loss in revenue, poor product/service quality metrics, and a loss of customers, be they internal or external. An e-commerce business model, whose primary product or service is mediated in some fashion through a website and the online environment supported by internet technologies, faces several conceptual difficulties in managing its supply chain that a traditional business model does not (Cunningham, 2001).

Websites that are designed properly "help ensure that users can find information that they are looking for, perform transactions, spend time at the site, and return again."

M-Commerce, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of mobile commerce, which is considered to be the next major force in the international business arena. It looks at how the technology of mobile devices has facilitated this new business trend and also explores how this fits in with the e-commerce sphere. Advantages and disadvantages of m-commerce are also mentioned.
From the Paper
"The idea of m-commerce, which is short for 'mobile commerce,' is one whose time has truly come. Because there have been so many recent advances in wireless technology the number of individuals who use mobile devices has increased rapidly. E-commerce is often conducted on these devices and this is also moving at a rapid pace. There are several new types of e-commerce transactions and many of these use wireless telecommunications networks and other technologies to conduct business through mobile devices (Barnett, 2000). This has been called mobile commerce and is increasingly known as either m-commerce or mobile e-commerce (Barnett, 2000). There are many constraints and special characteristics related to mobile devices, and because of this mobile commerce is operating in an environment that is much different from transactions conducted over the Internet (Barnett, 2000). There are so many more market opportunities with mobile commerce because it can be personalized to an individual and it is much more flexible (Barnett, 2000)."

The Power of Congress and the Commerce Clause, 2003.
This paper provides an explanation of the power of Congress and individual states to regulate trade, production, and other interstate "commerce." The nature of the Commerce Clause is discussed, and many case law examples are included.
1,640 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 78.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The purpose and scope of the Commerce Clause has been the topic of debate in many court decisions. Over the years, the Supreme Court has interpreted the Commerce Clause as a grant of power to the federal government and a limitation on the authority of individual states. One of the first issues to reach the Supreme Court was whether the power granted to Congress via the clause also inferred that the states are, thereby, precluded from local regulation of interstate and foreign commerce. This paper details, through case law examples, how this grant of power has been used, and sometimes abused, by the federal government.
From the Paper
"Article 1, Section 8, of the United States Constitution authorizes Congress to legislatively ?regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.? This Clause, though not infinite, is the means by which Congress regulates domestic affairs. Despite the implied extent of the commerce power, the Supreme Court has found that Congress has often overstepped its boundaries with respect to economic activity that should be reserved for individual states."

Abstract
The writer discusses how e-commerce differs from the physical economy and the potential threat e-commerce poses to traditional commerce. A major concern regarding the emerging e-commerce economy is that a substantial part of its growth will come from the existing ?physical? economy through a substitution, or ?cannibalization? effect.
From the Paper

Every industry has become part of a global network where all companies are equally accessible.

The e-Commerce Environment, 2006.

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
"Electronic commerce, or e-Commerce can be defined as the buying and selling of products or services over such electronic systems as the Internet. As such electronic systems have grown in popularity and capabilities over the past decades, so has the level of e-commerce that occurs. E-commerce covers a wide array of electronic transactions, including electronic funds transfers, sales, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange, automated inventory management systems and automated data collection systems, just to name a few.
"Conducting successful e-commerce is more often associated with operating a competent business system more so than it is with the product or service being sold electronically. Examples of key components of a successful e-commerce venture include: a strong management team, post-sales services, a succinct business structure, sound and secure network infrastructure and technology and a well-designed and operational website."

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 discusses the growth of e-commerce and explores the different applications that were developed for use in e-commerce. One of these, XML, is explored in detail, including its development, its advantages over HTML for e-commerce, and the companies that first used it. The paper discusses the advantages of e-commerce and conversely, e-commerce's failures.
Contents: Early Application Developments for E-commerce; XML; Primary & Early Users of Leading Edge Applications; Development of Products by Businesses and Industries; Leaders and Followers; Applying Technologies to Business Problems and Solutions; Successes and Failures; The Future; Vision
From the Paper
"Among the more recent application developments for the web is the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) designed to improve the functionality of the Web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification. (?The XML FAQ,? Jan 2002). The flexibility and extensibility of XML are very significant features since at present further development of the Web is held back by important constraints due to dependence on a single inflexible document type-HTML (the Hypertext Mark-up Language most frequently used on the web) which is already stretched to the limit with over-use and has severe limitations for data transfer and storage."
