电子商务的结构和宏观影响：从技术层面的基础设施建设到虚拟的电子市场

Abstract

摘要

Electronic commerce (E-commerce) is sharing business information, maintaining busi ness relationships, and conducting business transactions by means of telecommunicati ons networks. Traditional E-commerce, conducted with the use of information technol ogies centering on electronic data interchange (EDI) over proprietary value-added net works, is rapidly moving to the Internet. The InternetWorld Wide Web has become the prime driver of contemporary E-commerce, which has been vastly broadened and red efined by the use of the new medium.

I. Introduction: From Traditional to Internet-Driven Electronic Commerce

As electronic commerce is being redefined by the dynamics of the Internet, we wish t o analyze the present structure of the enterprise defined by this term, and to look forw ard to future developments. We shall thus present a hierarchical framework for electro nic commerce, within which we shall analytically survey the mutually reinforcing cha nges in the business practices and in the underlying information technologies.

一。介绍：从传统电子商务到因特网推动的电子商务。随着电子商务由于因特网的原动力而被重新定义，我们希望按照这个定义分析一下当前的企

业结构，并展望其未来的发展。因此我们给出了电子商务的阶层框架，在此框架内，我们将分析检视在商业惯例中和支持其发展的信息技术下相互加强的变化。
