Commerce models

In a distributed commerce model, multiple customers deal with multiple sellers. An efficient market wUl allow a buyer to pay for these products in one lump sum. Such an arrangement is natural if a website happens to carry aU those items. Otherwise, this distributed commerce requires an equally flexible and manageable mechanism to provide buyers the convenience of paying once, settling amounts due among various vendors. The intermediary CUckshare relies on a framework for distributed user management.

Driven by e-commerce s capabilities to empower clients, many companies are moving from the traditional push business model, where manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and marketers have most of the power, to a customer-driven pull model (E-Future, 2006). This new business model is less product-centric and more directly focused on the individual consumer. To succeed in the business environment, companies have recognized that there is an ongoing shift in the balance of power in the commerce model, from suppliers to customers. 

Design of Markets and Mechanisms of Transactions. Initially the business-to-business (B2B) types of transactions were the primary e-commerce activities. These activities quickly expanded to include sales to consumers via electronic retailing (e-tailing), often called business-to-consumer (B2G). Since the late 1990 s e-commerce has expanded to include consumer-to-consumer (C2C) Web sites, including eBay, and consumer-to-business (G2B), such as Priceline, where several airlines or hotels will compete for the purchase dollars of consumers. Each of these types of transactions can be completed within the general structure of one of the many different types of e-commerce models to generate revenue.

Electronic marketplace/E-commerce In addition to the many databases available and person-to-person contacts, E-commerce in plastics has been conducted through suppliers web sites or the dot-commerce independent web sites that link material buyers with sellers in transactions or auction formats. During the year 2000 five plastic producers/suppliers and various elastomer producers/suppliers created a new and important business model of a joint-venture web site. It provides multiple companies to join forces to do business. This is a strategy some observers call competition and others regard as just another form of selling in. an electronic format. Regardless of how it is perceived, the model will help propel e-commerce into the mainstream of processor procurement due to the size and wealth of the companies involved. The plastic model example is the largest online business-to-business site todate.

The three laws described previously apply only to interstate commerce. Regarding the situation within a state where it would be possible for pesticides to be made and used, all of the states have their own pesticide laws, usually modeled after the federal laws. Therefore, the coverage is complete for all pesticides and all foods. However, individual state laws may vary. For example, the laws and regulations in California are often more strict than the federal guidelines. 

This trend is likely to continue (and possibly accelerate) with the emergence of e-commerce and its market-making models such as exchanges and reverse auctions. The only areas that appear safe are those true specialties where suppHers have a unique technology or product.
