 Abstract

E-business provides value chains with a high degree of organizational (outsourcing) and geographic (offshoring) flexibility, allowing firms to purchase intermediate goods and business services on a global scale. The rise of e-business alters the geography of work: information-processing tasks lend themselves to various forms of teleworking, whether at home, on the road, or in a coworking space... E-commerce is a subset of e-business, related to trade of goods and services. E-commerce is often defined as business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and consumer-to-consumer (C2C). E-marketing is one of the elements in the center of E-business. It helps bring customers near and helps understand them better, increasing the value of an item and enlarging distribution channels using search marketing.
