e-commerce notes


Seven Unique Features of E-commerce

1) Ubiquity-Internet is available everywhere.The marketplace is extended beyond traditional boundaries and is removed from temporal and geographic location.Customer convenience is enhanced,and shopping costs are reduced.

2) Global reach-The technology reaches across national boundaries.The marketspace includes potentially billions of consumers and millions of businesses world-wide.commerce is enabled across cultural and national boundaries seamlessly and without modification.

3)Universal standards-There is one set of technology standards.with one set of technical standards across the globe,disparate computer systems can easily communicate with one another.

4)Richness-Video,audio and text messages are possible.Video,audio and text marketing messages are integrated into a single marketing message and consumer experience.

5)Interactivity-The technology works through interaction with the user.consumer are engaged in a dialog that dynamically adjusts the experience to the individual and makes the consumer a co-participant in the process of delivering goods to the market.

6)Information density-The technology reduces information costs and raises quality.Information processing,storage and communication costs drop dramatically.information becomes plentiful,cheap and more accurate.

7)Personalization/customization-The technology allows personalised messages to be delivered to individuals as well as groups.Personalization of marketing messages and customization of products and services are based on individual characteristics.

The analysis of overall supply chain is called the value system. Different parts of the value chain 1.  Supplier     2.  Firm       3.   Channel 4 .   Buyer

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will never be p
