Abstract

Electronic commerce refers to business activities involving consumers, manufacturers, service provider, and intermediaries using computer networks such as the Internet. The goals of e-commerce are to reduce product and service cost and improved customer response time and quality. Hence implementing initiatives in electronic commerce has emerged as a significant business strategy in the Information Age. Technological developments made possible by the convergence of the telecommunication and computing industries have opened the door to a world of new and exciting application that are changing the way business is conducted. A large number of businesses of all sizes have either begun to implement e-commerce strategies and initiatives, or have plans to do so in the immediate future. Electronic commerce is a multidisciplinary field that includes technical areas such as networking security, and storage and retrieval of multimedia; business areas such as marketing, procurement and purchasing, billing and payment, and supply chain management; and legal aspects such as information privacy, intellectual property, taxation, contractual and legal settlements. This project contains a concise discussion of current research and future challenge of the electronic commerce, a comparison of current e-commerce technology, and an implementation of web business using Java programming.
