問 17
Incorrectア
An e-procurement system that places and receives orders between companies over the internet is a transaction between companies, which is an example of BtoB (Business to Business). Since no consumer is involved, it is not BtoC.
- イ
正解 BtoC (Business to Consumer) refers to electronic commerce conducted between a company and general consumers. The online trading system in choice イ is a mechanism in which a securities company (a business) provides stock buying and selling services to individuals (consumers) over the internet, which is exactly a company-to-consumer transaction. Therefore it is a correct example of the BtoC model.
Incorrectウ
A system that provides in-house procedures, communications, information, and employee welfare services is provided by a company to its own employees, which corresponds to BtoE (Business to Employee, internal-facing). Since it is not a commercial transaction with external general consumers, it is not BtoC.
Incorrectエ
A system in which consumers conduct auctions among themselves on a website is a transaction between individuals (consumers), which is an example of CtoC (Consumer to Consumer). Since the seller is not a company, it is not BtoC.
- Grasp the classification of electronic commerce (EC) by transacting parties: BtoB = between companies, BtoC = company and general consumers, CtoC = between consumers, BtoE = company and employees (internal-facing).
- Online trading (internet securities trading) is a typical example of BtoC, in which a securities company (a business) provides services to individual consumers.
