E-Business and E-Commerce Management - Strategy, Implementation and Practice

-

The overall structure of the article follows a logical sequence:

  • Part 1 introduces e-business and e-commerce and their relevance to businesses and consumers. It clarifies e-business terms and concepts such as online business, revenue and technology models by reviewing alternative applications through activities and case studies; 
  • Part 2 approaches to developing e-business strategy and applications are reviewed for the organization as a whole, with an emphasis on buy-side e-commerce and sell-side e-commerce; and 
  • Management of e-business implementation is described in Part 3 in which we examine practical management issues involved with creating and maintaining e-business solutions. 

Within this overall structure, differences in how electronic communications are used to support different business processes are considered separately. 

This is achieved by distinguishing between how electronic communications are used, from buyside e-commerce aspects of supply chain management, to the marketing perspective of sell-side e-commerce.

A 4-tier GST tax structure of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent, with lower rates for essential items and the highest for luxury and de-merits goods that would also attract an additional cess, was decided by the all- powerful GST Council today. With a view to keeping inflation under check, essential items including food, which presently constitute roughly half of the consumer inflation basket, will be taxed at zero rate. The lowest rate of 5 per cent would be for common use items while there would be two standard rates of 12 and 18 per cent under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime targetted to be rolled out from April 1, 2017. Announcing the decisions arrived at the first day of the two-day GST Council meeting, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said highest tax slab will be applicable to items which are currently taxed at 30-31 per cent (excise duty plus VAT).
