E-Commerce: e-commerce \e-'ka-mers\ is the buying and selling of goods and
services using electronic networks, including the Internet. More
importantly, it is revolutionizing the way businesses can reach new
customers while more adequately fulfilling the needs of pre-existing
ones. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of electronic commerce
enables small companies to compete on an even footing with far
larger organizations. At the same time, larger companies can utilize
e-commerce to instantly respond to evolving trends and enter new
markets with the agility of a small business. [IBM Corp.]
