Answer to Question 1

E-business refers primarily to digitally enabled transactions within a firm, involving information systems, such as an online inventory control system, under the control of the firm. E-business does not involve commercial transactions in which an exchange of value across organizational boundaries takes place. E-commerce, on the other hand, is a revenue-generating operation. The key factor in determining if a transaction is commerce, therefore, is exchange of value. In order to be e-commerce, a transaction must include the direct production of revenue.

Answer to Question 2

A
