E-Business in simple words means conduction business on the internet. It not only involves buying and selling but also servicing and providing technical support to customers and partnering with business associates.
Most of us feel that e-Business and e-commerce mean the same thing. The term 'e-commerce' has a narrower meaning than 'e-business' and refers to using the Internet to order and pay for products or services. So e-commerce is a sub-set of e-business.
One among the first to use the term e-Business was IBM in October 1997, when it started a thematic campaign based around the term.
Today companies are using the internet to buy parts and supplies from other companies, to collaborate on sales promotions, and to do joint research. To exploit the advantages of convenience, availability, and world-wide reach of the Internet, many companies, such as Amazon.com, the book sellers, has already discovered how to use the Internet successfully.
A lot of direct selling (or e-tailing) is happening on the Internet of computer-related equipment and software. One of the first to report sales in the millions of dollars directly from the Web was Dell Computer. Travel bookings directly or indirectly as a result of Web research are becoming significant. Custom-orderable golf clubs and similar specialties are considered good prospects for the immediate future.
