The Classification of Types of Business-to-Business Electronic Commerce: A Framework Construction
Journal Title: Journal of Information and Organizational Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 41, Issue 1
Abstract
Based on the degree of information sharing between buyers and suppliers as well as the level of supplier power, we suggested a framework that can be useful for classifying types of business to business (B2B) electronic commerce (EC) in the manufacturing firms. According to this framework, four kinds of B2B EC were theoretically proposed, classified, and empirically confirmed. These four are: an electronic marketplace, electronic procurement, electronic partnerships, and electronic distribution. Many prior studies have investigated and proposed some kinds of B2B EC. However, these studies focused mostly on one or two types of B2B EC, and did not develop or suggest a framework for the classification of forms of B2B EC. The framework constructed in this research can be utilized variously. Specifically, when a firm wants to initiate B2B EC with its suppliers, this framework can help a firm to decide and select an appropriate kind of B2B EC. This framework can also be applied to evaluate whether the proper form of B2B EC has been adopted or not.
