Most businesses use e-commerce mainly for selling goods and services via their website. Those that are successful have put a lot of careful planning into using e-commerce, either as a sole way of doing business (i.e. selling entirely online) or as another business tool.
E-commerce is about buying and selling goods and services over the Internet, whether it be trade between businesses (B2B) or between business and consumers (B2C). Keep in mind that e-commerce is not e-business, it's only a small part of business. E-business is about using Internet technology throughout your whole business - whether ordering, paying bills, dealing with government, marketing or managing customer relationships. It makes sense then to use both e-commerce and e-business together to improve profitability, efficiency, competitiveness and customer service.
