Paper Abstract:
|
E-commerce is revisited taking into account of existing published research work, mostly encompassing the area of definition, functions, benefits, problems, prospects and development of e-commerce. E-commerce is a part of e-business, which is using and sharing complex information through the services of internet so as to bring the Business to Consumer (B2C) as close and faster as possible. As a paper less business, it creates many ethical, moral and cultural problems in addition to mistrust. It is located that the users of internet in Africa compared to the rest of the world is negligible. Within Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, except Mauritius, Seychelles and Republic of South Africa, other countries are not extensively using the internet and hence, not much e-commerce can be traced within those countries. |
