E-commerce as a tool for transformation of business - The most remarkable facet of the new 'digital economy' is electronic commerce. The Internet, which enables e-commerce, is radically changing not only the way businesses serve and communicate with their customers, but also the way they manage their relations with suppliers and partners.

Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce, eCommerce or e-comm, refers to the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. However, the term may refer to more than just buying and selling products online. It also includes the entire online process of developing, marketing, selling, delivering, servicing and paying for products and services. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown extraordinarily with widespread Internet usage.

 Both the new Internet-based companies and the traditional producers of goods and services, continue to rapidly transform their business processes into e-commerce processes in an effort to lower costs, improve customer service, and increase productivity.

The obvious advantage of automation and ecommerce, is the improvement in efficiency and resulting improvement in profits for businesses.

Business models across the world also continue to change drastically with the advent of eCommerce and this change is not just restricted to USA. Other countries are also contributing to the growth of eCommerce. For example, the United Kingdom has the biggest e-commerce market in the world when measured by the amount spent per capita, even higher than the USA. The internet economy in UK is likely to grow by 10% between 2010 to 2015.

Amongst emerging economies, China's eCommerce presence continues to expand. With 384 million internet users,China's online shopping sales rose to $36.6 billion in 2009 and one of the reasons behind the huge growth has been the improved trust level for shoppers. The Chinese retailers have been able to help consumers feel more comfortable shopping online.
