Characteristics of B2B EC• B2B EC implies that both the sellers and buyers are
business corporations, while B2B EC implies that the buyers are individual consumers.
• B2B EC covers a broad spectrum of applications that enable an enterprise or business to form electronic relationships with their distributors, resellers, suppliers, and other partners.
• B2B applications will offer enterprises access to the following sorts of information: product, customer, supplier, product process, transportation, inventory, supply chain alliance, competitor, sales & marketing, supply chain process & performance.
05 September 2002 Chandra Wibowo W. 5
Supply Chain• The supply chain encompasses all the
activities associated with the flow and transformation of goods from the raw materials stage all the way to the end user. Taken together these processes and roles are called a supply chain.
• Historically, many of the process in the supply chain, have been managed with paper transactions. this is where B2B EC applications come into play.
05 September 2002 Chandra Wibowo W. 6
Entities of B2B EC• The Internet can provide the most economical B2B EC platform for linking
companies without additional network implementation.• B2B EC can contribute to lower purchase costs, reduced inventory,
enhanced efficiency of logistics, as well as to increased sales and lowered sales costs and marketing costs.
• The key entities in B2B EC are the following:– Selling company – with marketing management perspective.– Buying company – with procurement management perspective.– Electronic intermediary – a third party intermediating service provider (the
scope of service may be extended to include the order fulfillment).– Deliverer – who should fulfill the JIT delivery.– Network platform – such as the Internet, intranet, and extranet.– Protocols and communication – such as EDI and comparison shopping, possibly
using software agents.– Back-end information system – possibly implemented using the intranet and
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

Models of B2B EC• The business models of B2B, the first
three models are classified depending upon who controls the marketplace: the supplier, customer, or intermediary.
• Other important business models are: virtual corporation, networking between headquarter and subsidiaries, and online services to business.
05 September 2002 Chandra Wibowo W. 8
Supplier-Oriented Marketplace
• The most common B2B model is the Supplier-oriented marketplace. Most of the manufacturer-driven electronic stores belong this category.
• In this model, both individual consumers and business buyers use the same supplier-provided marketplace (see figure 6.2).
• The architecture for this B2B model is basically the same as that for B2C EC, and the purchasing process is similar.

Buyer-Oriented Marketplace
• Under the platform of supplier-oriented marketplace, the buyer’s acquisition department has to manually enter the order information into its own corporate information system.
• Searching e-stores and e-malls to find and compare suppliers and products. can be very costly for companies who purchase thousands of items on the Internet.
• Under this model, a buyer opens an electronic market on its own server and invites potential suppliers to bid. (see figure 6.3).

Intermediary-Oriented Marketplace
• The third business model is establishing an electronic intermediary company, which runs a marketplace where business buyers and sellers can meet. (see figure 6.4).
• This concept is similar to intermediary-based e-malls or e-stores developed for B2B EC.

Virtual Corporation: Networking between Business
Partners• A VC is an organization composed of several
business partners sharing costs and resources for the purpose of producing a product or service.
• Permanent VC are designed to create or assemble productive resources rapidly, frequently, concurrently, or to create or assemble a broad range of productive resources.
• This creation, operation, and management of a VC are heavily dependent on the B2B EC platform (Internet and extranet).
05 September 2002 Chandra Wibowo W. 15
Networking between Headquarter and
Subsidiaries• The B2B EC platform can help the
communication and collaboration between headquarters and subsidiaries or franchiser and franchisee by providing e-mail, message boards and chat rooms, and online corporate date access around the globe no matter what time zone is.
05 September 2002 Chandra Wibowo W. 16
From Traditional to Internet-based EDI
The majority of B2B transactions are conducted by EDI and/or extranets (see figure 6.5).
• Traditional EDI: EDI and Standards– It is a system that standardizes the process of trading and tracking
routine business documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, payments, shipping manifests, and delivery schedules.
– EDI translates these documents into a globally understood business language and transmits them between trading partners using secure telecommunications links. (see figure 6.6).
– Also see the limitations of traditional EDI.• Internet-based EDI
– The appears to be the most feasible alternative for putting online B2B trading within the reach of virtually any organization, large or small.
– Internet e-mail can be used as the EDI message transport in place of VAN. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is considering standards for encapsulating the messaging within Secure Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME).

Integration with Back-End Information Systems
• The typical back-end information systems tend to be developed on the intranet (with e-mail, workflow, and groupware capabilities), DBMS, legacy systems, and ERP.
• Integration of EC with the intranet is relatively simple as far as the firewall can control the unauthorized access to the internal network.
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an enterprise-wide application software that can provide a centralized repository of information for the massive amount of transactional detail generated daily. (See figure 6.7).
