CHAPTER THREE EBUSINESS
Introduction • Ebusiness is the conducting of business on the Internet • Ebusiness and Ecommerce are not the same • Issues • Disruptive technology • Evolution of the Internet
Disruptive Technology (1) • A new technology that changes the accepted way of doing things • Digital cameras disrupted Kodak (Film is but a niche market)
Disruptive Technology (2) • The Web and online travel reservations disrupted travel agents • Online stock trading disrupted the full-service stock broker • Nobody carries change in a casino • Netflix is disrupting media distribution
Sustaining Technology • Using technology to improve a product or service • Faster and larger hard drives • Improvements in your bank’s Web site • Faster wireless • A bigger screen
The Internet (1) • As mentioned in the “history lesson” • The Internet is a global network using TCP/IP as it’s base protocol • The Internet provides a range of services including the World Wide Web • It was originally text based • There was no search engine until Jerry Yang and David Filo created YAHOO (Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle)
The Internet (2) • Probably one of the most disruptive technologies affecting business • It has flattened the world • If it’s repeatable, it can be done anywhere
The Internet (Services) • SMTP – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol • HTTP – Hypertext Transfer Protocol • FTP – File Transfer Protocol • SOAP – Simple Object Access Protocol • And many more
My Summary of the Net • The Internet allows us to buy and sell almost any good or service anywhere in the world at any time
The Internet (Selected Industries) • Travel • Entertainment • Electronics • Financial services • Retail • Automobiles • Education and training
Web 1.0 • Mass customization (specialized version of a product) • Personalization (because we know who you are) • Disintermediation
Web 2.0 • My opinion is that there exists no normative definition • Here is mine • “A perceived second generation of the Internet, marked by collaboration, Web-based communities, wikis, and social networking” • Facebook / Twitter / You Tube / MySpace
Web 3.0 • With a large part of the world’s data out there, how to we find and catalog it? • A universal medium for data, information and knowledge exchange (Tim Berners-Lee) • Data driven • Semantic • SOA and Web Services
The Data Driven Web • Much of the Web’s data is not well structured or indexed • We have some metadata • We have links • We try to search keywords • The data driven Web will add structure to that data
The Semantic Web • A eutopic vision of content • It requires the data driven Web • www.semanticweb.org
Ebusiness and Ecommerce • Ecommerce is a subset of Ebusiness • Ecommerce is the buying and selling of goods and services online • Ebusiness involves conducting business on the Internet largely to reduce transaction costs • It’s pervasive • B2B exchanges • B2C exchanges • C2C exchanges
