The main focus is on understanding various e-commerce business models, particularly the differences between Business to Business (B2B), Business to Consumer (B2C), and Consumer to Consumer (C2C) models, and how technology enables virtual transactions.

What is the Business to Business (B2B) model in e-commerce?

B2B is a model where businesses conduct virtual transactions with each other, such as buying and selling raw materials, services, or equipment in large quantities, typically under long-term agreements.

What are the key characteristics of the B2B business model?

B2B transactions are usually conducted between companies, involve bulk transactions, are based on long-term relationships, and involve wholesale pricing. The transactions do not typically involve individual consumers.

How do B2B transactions differ from B2C transactions?

B2B transactions usually involve larger quantities, long-term agreements, and wholesale pricing, while B2C transactions are more direct, often with smaller quantities and retail pricing, targeting individual consumers.

What are some examples of B2B transactions?

Examples include companies selling raw materials to manufacturers, professional service providers offering consulting services to businesses, and companies supplying parts or equipment to other businesses.

What is the Business to Consumer (B2C) model in e-commerce?

B2C is a model where businesses sell products or services directly to consumers. This often involves online platforms where consumers can easily browse and make purchases.

What are the key characteristics of the B2C business model?

B2C involves simpler transactions between businesses and individual consumers. These transactions do not require long-term relationships and are typically one-time purchases. It involves widespread competition among sellers to meet consumer demands.
