Abstract
This paper explores the transformative role of e-commerce in reshaping global trade and
consumer behavior. One of the most potential application of information technology in recent
times is that of e-commerce (EC). E-commerce has taken over therefore the world and become a
major commercial activity. Its potential is enormous in supply-chain management,
manufacturing, retail and service operations. The EC domain is made up of three generic areas —
technology, managerial and consumer. E-commerce, also known as electronic commerce, is a new
way of shopping: buying and selling goods and services on all digital channels. This framework
allows commerce to take place with businesses and consumers on the Internet; it opens access
to commerce anywhere and at any time. According to the business models, it can include B2C
(business-to-consumer), B2B (business-to-business), C2C (consumer-to-consumer), and C2B
(consumer-to-business), all of which identify a specific market need in the e-commerce
ecosystem.
So, EC is transforming the manufacturing systems from mass production to demand-based to,
perhaps, customized, just-in-time manufacturing systems. Firms such as IBM, General Motors,
General Electric and Boeing are assembling products for which the parts are produced in a
multitude of places across the world. Sub-assemblers collect materials and components from
their suppliers and they may source materials from one or more levels of manufacturers. In these
multitier systems, such aspects can be critical — communication, collaboration and coordination.
EC is also likely to become a brazen in of modern business, as the WWW continues to
expand, and become more widely accepted. The creation of new customer value-based service offerings
by enterprises to ultimately driving demand for Internet connectivity. That the EC is simply a web site, and
it is much, much, more. EC has got dozens of applications namely home banking, buying stuff in an online
store and mall, checking stocks, not searching on the job, perusing the offering and cooperation. Platforms
like Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba facilitate direct retail sales and wholesale transactions, providing
consumers with easy access to products and enabling retailers to reach a global market. Offers online
banking services, allowing customers to conduct transactions, pay bills, transfer funds, and
manage accounts without visiting physical branches. E-commerce also supports financial services like
online stock trading and digital wallets (e.g., PayPal, Apple Pay).
