The research blog
Over the next few weeks I intend to research “E-commerce, distributed applications and the Internet“. This blog details my personal experience and understanding gained over the course of the research.
Starting with basics was a search for a definition of e-commerce. The definition that I think is most appropriate comes from the text where Ince defines e-commerce as “online retailing” while e-business is more general and concerns all business activities that use the Internet.
I have some experience in this area having run an internet company that grew to approximately 35 people between 1996 and 2002 when it all came crashing down in a less than tasteful mess. My company Nemas was squarely in the ebusiness arena although at the time we didn’t use that terminology, instead we were developers of web based applications that interacted with databases and legacy systems.
So, on with the research.
