Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce, is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as 'commercial transactions conducted electronically on the Internet'. Although e-commerce is widely considered to be the buying and selling of products over the Internet, any transaction that is completed solely through electronic measures can be considered e-commerce. Typically it is subdivided into three categories: business to business (for example, Cisco), business to consumer (Amazon) and consumer to consumer (eBay). E-commerce is a hugely dynamic area of business growth, with technology, demographics, supply chains and different kinds of property each playing a pivotal role. Although e-commerce markets are still at different stages of development in different regions, it is already clear that its growth is transforming the global retail landscape.
