LITERATURE REVIEW

Introduction

E-commerce is the distribution, purchase, sale, marketing of goods and services through electronic systems such as the internet or television, www, or other computer networks. Ecommerce can involve electronic funds transfers, electronic data exchanges, automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. The information technology industry sees e-commerce activities as the application and application of e-business (e-business) related to commercial transactions, such as: transfer of funds electronically, SCM (supply chain management), e-marketing (e-marketing), or online marketing (online marketing), online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), etc. E-commerce or e-commerce is part of e-business, where the scope of e-business is broader, not just commerce but also includes collaborating business partners, customer service, job vacancies etc. In addition to www network technology, ecommerce also requires database or database (e-mail) technology, e-mail, and other forms of non-computer technology such as the shipping system, and payment instruments for this e-commerce.

E-commerce is divided into two types, namely

business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce refers to transactions that occur between a business and the final consumer of the product e-commerce business to business (business-to-business-B2B) refers to inter-business transactions where no party becomes the final consumer, involves relatively few people, and the parties involved are highly trained in using information systems and getting to know business processes.

Trade Through Electronic Networks

Some people define electronic commerce (e-commerce) narrowly, namely trade, which only covers business transactions that relate to customers and suppliers. This definition means that only transactions that only cross company boundaries can be classified as e-commerce. . If a transaction remains within the company boundary, these people will call it an electronic business transaction. Limiting internal versus external transactions will not offer much help, because most people consider electronic business and electronic commerce to be the same thing.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

RESEARCH DESIGN

Research designs are perceived to be an overall strategy adopted by the researcher whereby different components of the study are integrated in a logical manner to effectively address a research problem. In this study, the researcher employed the survey research design. This is due to the nature of the study whereby the opinion and views of people are sampled. According to Singleton & Straits, (2009), Survey research can use quantitative research strategies (e.g., using questionnaires with numerically rated items), qualitative research strategies (e.g., using open-ended questions), or both strategies (i.e., mixed methods). As it is often used to describe and explore human behaviour, surveys are therefore frequently used in social and psychological research.

These similar features can include location, gender, age, sex or specific interest.
