From the Paper
"Along with allowing for expansion within both the main categories and the sub-categories it was decided the best approach would be a Pentium based parallel-aligned processors that could be added to within the environment of the Main Frame. This configuration offers by far the greatest flexibility for the tasks at hand. Plus it has the added feature of ease of programming and once programmed the best reliability factor for consistent and constant operations.
Once the type of Main Frame was decided upon the Computer Scientist and System Analyst then set about the task of determining its size. Since all of their sales categories but one were "out source," configurations to suppliers for product and shipping this became a rather easy matter of programming the data received, processed and distributed to these suppliers via the VPNs and their processors and servers within the Main Frame."

"Corporations the world over have utilized e-business or some aspect of electronic commerce (e-commerce) to either act as their sole business model or to enhance the productive performance in some way of their existing traditional business models. E-commerce might be considered as a type of business transaction where the parties to the transaction conduct their commerce electronically where electronically has come to be considered the Internet (Epstein, 2004). Yet, technically speaking e-commerce could just as well be considered to be transacted by phone, fax, or other electronic form of media. Such definitions evade the true essence of electronic commerce, which in practice has become one of those rare cases where changing needs and new technologies have come together to revolutionize the way in which business is conducted over an entirely new medium; commonly termed the Internet."

"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."

"The increase of communications and its convenience provides much scope for dataveillance. The monitoring and storing of personal data may breach the privacy rights of individuals. However the combining of surveillance sources such as CCTV, bank records, and location tracking using mobile telephone signals bring surveillance to a new level. By pooling together all information sources, information gathered on an individual is so personal and provides such a three-dimensional picture into one?s life and habits."

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."

"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."

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.

From the Paper
"Electronic commerce or e-commerce is the term used to describe all forms of information exchange and business transactions based on information and communication technologies. There are different types of formal definitions of e-commerce, but the wide scope involved has resulted in many definitions focusing on only certain aspects. A fairly comprehensive definition covers e-commerce from four different perspectives (Kalakota and Whinston, 1997, p.38) ? communications, business process, service and online. From a communications perspective, e-commerce is the transfer of information, products, services and payments over communication and electronic networks. The business process is about application of information and communications technology for automation of business activities and transactions."

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."
