The true test of any e-commerce system is the ability to orchestrate the many complex processes and systems to a unified, consistent experience to faculty, staff and most important, students. Advanced e-commerce systems have included a series of decision engines or logic workflows that expedite the most common processes throughout their platforms and websites (Nabi, 2005). This significantly increases the accuracy and velocity of information sharing throughout any enterprise, yet it is critical for the online university as time is often at a premium. A critical part of the ability to expedite knowledge sharing across the entire enterprise is to create rules-based workflows that automate the distribution of intelligence in real-time (Nabi, 2005).

Of the many theories and concepts that seek to define long-term learning effectiveness and context, the three factors of autonomy, mastery and purpose are by far the most pervasive in practical, empirical research results (Albright, Burgess, Davis, 2011).
Creating and operating a team learning environments begins by deliberately designing in autonomy, mastery and purpose to ensure the motivation to attain long-term learning is achieved. This is however a secondary concern of many companies building e-commerce systems as the focus is purely on the business strategy and getting it completed. Yet the more forward-thinking forms are designing in scaffolding and online analytics, measurement and performance evaluation applications to ascertain the relative value of tacit and implicit knowledge captured (James, Okpala, 2010) and quickly using it to better plan subsequent strategies (Cappel, Hayen, 2004). Many universities are relying on intern programs with local small businesses to achieve this same net effect in…...

E-Commerce Trends in the 21st Century
The rapid adoption of social media including the pervasive adoption of social networks on mobile devices is driving disruption into e-commerce globally. Today authenticity, transparency and trust dominate the concerns of global consumers, accentuated by the pervasive use of social networks and the continual integration of e-commerce into these very popular platforms (Morid, Shajari, 2012). The catalysts that are propelling e-commerce today are mobile platforms in conjunction with social networks and their many approaches to selling advertising, products and services. Clearly trust is the most critical catalyst there is holding all the disruptive forces of change together, with mobility and social networks driving greater levels of e-commerce adoption than had ever been the case in the past (Li, Xie, 2012).

E-Commerce
Hardly any business nowadays will survive without presence in cyberspace. Aside from the requisite website that provides information on the company, most have engaged in electronic commerce or e-commerce whereby goods and services can be transacted (ordering, processing, billing, payment, shipping, etc.) online. For small to medium business enterprises developing an e-commerce website may start out small and gradually develop with more facilities and functionalities. A bike store for instance in the local neighborhood has for its target market a limited geographical area thus the e-commerce website can cater first to the local market. ut even if the business is small or starting-up, "developing a business over the Internet requires many of the same major activities as starting any other business and the basic business planning are still needed (McNamara, 2009)."

The initial Internet business model for a local neighborhood bike store is an informational website that features what the store…...

There are a myriad of advantages and disadvantages of selling books and good over the internet. Some advantages to selling goods over the internet are the sheer amount of people that the internet has the ability to reach. Malls, boutiques, among other merchant stores are sometimes in centralized locations do not have the ability to reach some suburban and rural populations; thus, having an internet store does arm merchants with the ability to sell their product to the masses. Furthermore, selling books and other goods over the internet is also more cost-effective as processing orders requires a distribution center instead of having stores all over the country which require staffing and rent, among other overhead costs. Though, with all advantages come some disadvantages including some issues for the consumer. Consumers are unable to touch or see the good or product in its physical capacity which causes…...

Abstract
E-commerce is not only web-based shopping and trading; rather, it incorporates holistic business efficacy at all operational levels. The term ‘supply chain management’ (SCM) is used to denote coordination, scheduling and control of product/service procurement, manufacture, deliveries and inventories. It forms the mainstay of e-commerce. A supply chain is considered efficient if it has the right services/products at the right time and place for reducing costs or saving money and improving cash utilization. Innumerable American firms have started banking on e-commerce for achieving more efficient supply chains.
Introduction
Modern-day competition is of a supply chain-wide nature; it is not limited to individual firms. The term ‘supply chain’ may be defined as a system of distribution alternatives and facilities for whole corporate networks to collaborate for the purpose of designing, producing, delivering, and servicing products. Ever since the concept was introduced, SCM has been growing in significance for corporations, particularly in the current…...

Brick or Click From rural strip-malls to Manhattan’s avenues, it has been a disastrous past few years for retail. There have been nine retail bankruptcies in 2017—as many as all of 2016. J.C. Penney, RadioShack, Macy’s and Sears have each announced more than 100 store closures. Sports Authority has liquidated and Payless has filed for bankruptcy. Last week, several apparel companies’ stocks hit new multi-year lows, including Lululemon, Urban Outfitters and American Eagle, and Ralph Lauren announced that it is closing its flagship Polo store on Fifth Avenue, one of several brands to abandon that iconic thoroughfare. A deep recession might explain an extinction-level event for large retailers. But U.S. GDP has been growing for eight straight years, gas prices are low, unemployment is under 5 percent, and the last 18 months have been quietly excellent for wage growth, particularly for middle- and lower-income Americans.

A corporation essentially becomes an individual entity in and of itself, completely separate from its owners and managers. Thus, the corporation can be sued and sue others with no liability extending to the individual owners. However, being a separate entity, the corporation is thus taxed directly like an individual would be. For this reason, the corporation is often associated with double taxation in that the corporation's profits are taxed and the owner's take home income is also taxed.
ased on these choices, it is advised that the e-commerce business should choose to act as a corporation. In the world of e-commerce, incorporation makes sense because it ensures protection from any forms of liability and to optimizes the overall ability to maximize profits. ecause e-commerce occurs across jurisdictions, including international borders, a corporation will be most advantageous as this form of business structure is generally recognized around the world and thus…...
