The
E-Commerce Myth
Myth
#1: E-Commerce is only for large companies.
When many companies
think of e-commerce they immediately dismiss it as an
alternative only available to those companies with "deep pockets".
But that is, in fact, an incorrect assumption. Any business, small,
medium or large may need to implement e-commerce/e-business. As long
as there is a need and the volume justifies the need. If so, does the
company have all the necessary information to implement e-commerce into
the business?
Myth
#2: E-Commerce must be implemented in an all or nothing approach.
Developing an e-commerce solution does not have to be a fully implemented
solution from the day you launch your web site. Rather, make intelligent
decisions about the process as you would with any business project or
plan. Maybe you want to focus solely on establishing an online presence
first. Maybe the "complete online storefront" that you ultimately
envision can be added later when you are satisfied with your online
presence.
Myth
#3: E-Commerce will destroy standard business practices.
The exponential growth of the Internet has produced many new industries
and revolutionized the business practices of many existing ones. But
e-commerce is only the latest sales and marketing tool available in
a long history of such tools. As such businesses must decide how best
to incorporate it into their overall business plan. E-commerce does
not mean the extinction of standard business practices. Companies today
must keep up with technology, but stay in touch with practicality.
