27LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- 1. Gain an understanding of the e-commerce
process. - 2. Outline why a multichannel approach is
beneficial for a retailer. - 3. Explain why newly formed pure-play Internet
businesses may have a hard time gaining
competitive advantages in the retail market. - 4. Compare and contrast how e-commerce is being
used as a strategic tool by e-retailers and
traditional retailers.
28E-Commerce
- E-commerce is the process of allowing Web based
technologies to facilitate commerce or trade. - E-commerce can be retail, between an e-business
and an end user, or it can be used for
business-to-business transactions.
29Webvan ModelWhere Are My Groceries?
- Evaluate your grocery shopping. How often do you
purchase the same products? - Trust a grocer to pick out your meats, fruits,
and vegetables? - Which aspects of grocery shopping could be
automated? - Evaluate the business model for a traditional
grocery and determine where its competitive
advantage lies. - What is the future of online grocery sales?
30E-Retailing
- Retail sales are shifting between various
alternative sales channels. - Sales channels are the models that businesses use
to sell to their customers. These could include
brick and mortar outlets, catalogs, direct
marketing, or e-commerce. - A destination site is a Web site that is designed
to have the visitor return over and over.
31E-Retailing
- E-retailing will not necessarily result in an
increase in overall retail sales instead,
consumers are shifting purchases by adopting a
multichannel approach and using alternative sales
channels.
