Electronic Commerce
in Perspective
Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is defined as the sharing of business information, maintaining business relationships, and conducting business transactions through the use of telecommunications networks.
A new aspect of e-commerce is mobile commerce (m-commerce). M-commerce, sometimes also called m-business, refers to the use of wireless technologies such as handheld computers, cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and two-way pagers to connect users to the Internet.
