A firm considering international business must analyze the economic environment and indicators of the host country. This includes factors like income levels, inflation rates, consumption patterns, availability of resources and infrastructure, and how these metrics have trended over time. Properly evaluating the economic system and indicators is crucial for understanding demand, costs, competitiveness and ability to profit in the target foreign market.

There are three key steps to the planning process: plan creation, implementation, and evaluation/correction. Two common types of initial e-marketing plans are "napkin plans" and more formal plans required to obtain venture capital funding. Venture capital plans must thoroughly answer questions about customers, pricing, competition, costs and profitability to attract investment.

E-governance refers to the delivery of government services to citizens through digital means and the internet. It provides a one-stop portal for major government services. Governance relates to consistent management, policies, processes, and decision making for a given area. E-governance implements these practices digitally to improve accountability, transparency, and access to government services. It uses technologies like state data centers, networks, and service delivery gateways to connect government systems and enable services from government to citizens, businesses, and other government agencies.
E-governance involves using information and communication technologies to transform government processes to provide more efficient, convenient, and transparent services to citizens and businesses. It aims to improve how government functions through better policymaking, regulation, and service delivery. Key benefits include increased efficiency, cost savings, reduced corruption, and improved access to information and services for all. However, successful e-governance requires overcoming challenges like lack of processes, skills, infrastructure and resources through a holistic, systematic approach with change management, capacity building, and top-level leadership support.
This document discusses e-banking and the new era of digital banking. It defines e-banking and online banking as conducting financial transactions through a bank's website. It describes the features of e-banking like online bill pay, transferring funds, and using mobile apps. It outlines the forms of e-banking like internet banking, ATMs, debit cards, and e-billing. It discusses the advantages of convenience and 24/7 access but also the disadvantages of security risks, technical difficulties, and some customers preferring human interaction.
Unit 5 E-BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PROCESSESNishant Pahad
油
The document discusses factors that affect business competitiveness and productivity. It states that competitiveness is a multidimensional concept that involves generating competitive advantages through assets, capabilities, processes, knowledge and implementing strategies to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Productivity refers to how well a business converts inputs like labor, materials and capital into outputs like goods and services. Some ways to improve productivity mentioned include using technology to improve operations, reviewing processes, and implementing continuous improvement approaches. The key operations performance objectives for businesses are listed as low cost, high quality, speed, dependability and flexibility.
Commodities can be anything for which there is demand and can be traded in commodities markets. They are divided into categories like grains, oil, livestock, metals and energy. Commodities are considered a separate asset class from stocks and bonds because their pricing is driven by different factors like supply and demand. Commodities are traded through exchanges using futures contracts which help reduce risks like counterparty risk and credit risk compared to forwards. Investors can participate in commodities markets as hedgers to reduce price risk, speculators to profit from price changes, or arbitrageurs seeking opportunities from pricing differences. Commodity indices track overall price movements and allow for derivative trading and easier investment compared to physical commodities.
This document defines commodity derivatives and provides examples of their use. Commodity derivatives are contracts whose value is derived from underlying commodities like metals, agricultural products, and energy. The two main types are futures contracts, which obligate buyers and sellers to transact at a predetermined price on a future date, and options contracts, which give the holder the right but not obligation to buy or sell at a specified price by a certain date. Commodity derivatives help farmers, producers, and consumers manage risks from price fluctuations and provide investment opportunities for speculators.
The document discusses several topics related to e-business including:
1. Consumer protection issues in e-business due to non-uniform cyber laws across countries.
2. Types of cyber crimes like computer fraud, credit card abuse, software piracy, and viruses. Laws combating these crimes.
3. Benefits and disadvantages of electronic cash compared to physical cash.
4. How electronic data interchange streamlines business processes by replacing paper documents with electronic formats.
The document provides an overview of electronic data interchange (EDI). It describes EDI as the computer-to-computer exchange of business data between companies using standardized formats. The document outlines the history of EDI beginning in the 1960s and the development of national EDI standards in the 1970s. It also discusses EDI standards like ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, the use of value-added networks, and advantages of EDI like lower costs and fewer errors.
This document discusses several e-business models including the storefront model, auction model, portal model, and various dynamic pricing models. It also covers business-to-business e-commerce and the benefits of click-and-mortar businesses that have both online and offline presences. Key points covered include how shopping cart technology supports online stores, how auction sites work, the benefits of horizontal and vertical portals, and how dynamic pricing approaches like name-your-price and demand-sensitive pricing function.
The document discusses web security for e-commerce and describes various threats such as insecure transmission and unauthorized access. It explains methods for protecting online businesses including cryptographic techniques, transport and application layer security, and firewalls. Specific topics covered include client/server applications, communication channels, OSI and TCP/IP models, security threats, cryptography services, digital signatures, envelopes, certificates, and secure channels.
This document discusses information security policies and standards. It defines a security policy as a set of rules that define what it means to be secure for a system or organization. An information security policy sets rules to ensure all users and networks follow security prescriptions for digitally stored data. The challenges are to define policies and standards, measure against them, report violations, correct violations, and ensure compliance. It then discusses the key elements of developing an information security program, including performing risk assessments, creating review boards, developing plans, implementing policies and standards, providing awareness training, monitoring compliance, evaluating effectiveness, and modifying policies over time.
SSL is a secure protocol that runs above TCP/IP and allows users to encrypt data and authenticate server and client identities securely. It uses public key encryption to generate a shared secret and establish an encrypted connection. The SSL handshake process verifies the server's identity and allows the client and server to agree on encryption algorithms before exchanging data. This helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks by authenticating servers and encrypting the connection.

A firewall monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules, acting as a barrier between trusted and untrusted networks. There are various types of firewalls including packet filters, proxy firewalls, application-layer firewalls, and stateful firewalls. Successful firewall implementation involves defining security needs, researching solutions that meet those needs, and properly installing, configuring, and maintaining the chosen firewall.
