Online commerce business models:

Recent day’s internet is an emerging technology through the world! Technology growth is the main stream for business growth. Both of the segments are interrelated. From this analysis we know the what are the online commerce techniques improve the latest business model and its advantages, disadvantages. Here go through the article.

The Internet has emerged in the recent past as a dynamic medium for channeling

transactions between customers and firms in a virtual marketplace. The growth of the Web has been phenomenal, and there has been a corresponding growth in commerce on this robust platform. In this paper, we examine the various types of online commerce models that are emerging in the business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and consumer-to-consumer space. We illustrate these models with respect to their underlying value propositions, examples of industry leaders in the respective areas, and outline key technological innovations that will impact future developments.

Vertical- Dimensions of Online Commerce:

Online commerce can be transacted in many forms, depending on the type of business

activity in question; and by different players depending on the position they occupy in the value chain. In the following discussion, we focus on three major types of online commerce:

a. Business-to-consumer commerce: This includes physical and online retailing, information-based direct marketing, and other hybrid forms that involve both digital and brick-and-mortar retailing. Convenience factors like ease of shopping, a custom shopping experience, 24/7 availability, and competitive prices remain the main draws of this form of commerce at the present time. The revenue streams for such models typically involve commerce, community and advertising.
b. Business-to-business commerce: This includes inter-company trading and supplier networks, vertical industry exchanges, horizontal linkages between firms, and digital business-market mechanisms that include auctions, spot markets and others. The economic justification for these types of businesses' lie in cost and scale efficiencies, product and service aggregation, and lower search costs combined with broader reach and convenience. Revenues are derived either on transaction-based fees, or long standing contractual relationships.
c. Consumer-to-consumer commerce: This category includes consumer auctions, custom services, and other forms of inter-consumer exchange, including online communities and chat forums. A number of companies that exist in this space serve as facilitators of information exchange for decision making, rather than the actual transaction processors.They typically derive their revenues from advertising, subscriptions, and marketing partnerships.

Totally the Online commercial business is over $1000 bn for every year which gradually increases its value.

Business Growth Strategies in Outsourcing:

This article analyzing about the business strategies in outsourcing sector.
Businesses now use IT outsourcing for a wide range of services from ICT infrastructure and application services to running the human resources department. IT outsourcing has become a business imperative, with organizations today outsourcing to gain business capabilities and benefits. One main difference between IT outsourcing and BPO contracts is the complexity of pricing. In the IT world, it is relatively easy to structure the pricing of a contract around predictable, standard units such as hours of server uptime, the depreciation costs of equipment and the number of desktops supported. But in BPO, there is no such thing as a standardized unit.

Some interesting reports about business process outsourcing:

Nearly 80% senior decision makers surveyed in Europe and North America agreed that outsourcing was the way to make their businesses faster and moreadaptive.

At the center of most of the largest BPO deals has been a project to hand over the running of the ERP application underpinning the client’s back-office function to athird-party services vendor.

While the blurring of the lines between IT services and BPO contracts makes it difficult to make accurate market forecasts, some estimates suggest that the BPO market will reach $1 trillion by 2006.

The biggest BPO spenders are companies in the Americas with 60% of the global total, although the region’s year-on-year growth is expected to be the slowest in 2004.

Average deal size in Europe has also picked up dramatically at $418m in the first half of 2004, compared to an average of $220m in 2003.

In Europe, Germany accounted for 33% of deals signed in the first six months of 2004, up from 22% in the same period the previous year. The UK followed with 28% of deals signed, compared to 35% in the first half of 2003.

Despite existing and predicted growth, BPO still faces barriers – one of which is building the requisite trust between customer and supplier.
