Talk:Electronic business

Please include something on the difference between e-business and e-commerce.

Electronic business

I would argue that electronic business (e-business) is not an information system as the definition suggests. It is a business which uses information systems.

agreed, i have made the necessary changes. mydogategodshat 00:41, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

NOT MERGE

They are not the same, though similar. e-business refers to more strategic focus with an emphasis on the functions that occur using electronic capabilities, while e-commerce to be a subset of an overall e-business strategy. It covers any type of business transaction such as Internet banking, share trading, and other fiscal transactions or buying and selling products electronically. Also, they both cover quite some of applications. Otherwise, make them have not enough room for extension if merge them into one!--Alfeewusy 03:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, eCommerce is a subset of eBusiness. eCommerce is the process of conducting business commerce transactions over the web.

I would also say not merge. For me e-business covers e.g. design collaboration that is not commerce (buying or selling). If a company makes such links to its partners, I like to refer this to e-business solution instead of e-commerce.Pkotinur 14:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
