解説
問 17
Incorrectア
In a transaction where a participant buys goods from another participant in an internet auction, both parties are individuals (consumers), so it is CtoC (Consumer to Consumer). It is not a relationship between a company and its employees, so it does not count as BtoE. It is worth remembering online auctions and flea-market apps as typical examples of CtoC.
- イ
正解 The correct answer is イ. BtoE stands for Business to Employee, and it refers to a form in which a company (Business) provides services or goods to its own employees (Employee) using electronic means such as the internet. Choice イ says “A company provides its own employees with internet-based services such as employee benefits and education”, so the provider is the company and the receiver is its own employees, and this combination of parties fits BtoE exactly. Concrete examples include e-learning training for employees, applying for benefit programs on an in-house portal, and selling the company’s own products to employees at a discount. For questions that classify electronic commerce (EC), the reliable approach is to first read from each choice who is doing it for whom, and then judge which of B (Business), C (Consumer), E (Employee), or G (Government) each party can be replaced with.
Incorrectウ
In a transaction where an automaker procures parts and materials from vendors around the world, both parties are companies, so it is BtoB (Business to Business). Electronic procurement and ordering between companies fall into this type. The other party is not the company’s own employees but an outside business partner, so it is not BtoE.
Incorrectエ
In a transaction where a travel agency provides consumers with campaign information and the reservation sales of tickets, a company is selling to general consumers, so it is BtoC (Business to Consumer). Online shops and online reservation sites are typical examples, and it is distinguished from BtoE in that the other party is not the company’s own employees.
ここがポイント
- BtoE (Business to Employee) = electronic commercial transactions and service provision that a company carries out with its own employees. Training such as e-learning for employees, the provision of benefit services, and discounted sales to employees fall under this.
- Remember the types of electronic commerce (EC) by the combination of parties: B = Business, C = Consumer, E = Employee, G = Government. BtoB = ordering and procurement between companies, BtoC = online selling from a company to consumers, CtoC = auctions and second-hand trading between individuals, BtoE = from a company to its own employees, BtoG (GtoB) = electronic bidding and electronic applications between companies and government.
