Introduction:
This report is aiming at analysing the key points of the E-commerce business and the
challenges that can interrupt while implementing. In the mentioned case study, FlashMobz is
a retailer based Company which deals with mobile phones and its accessories. As the
business has been expanded to a great level within a few years, the owner of the Flashmobz
has started the business with a single shop which has now extended to eleven shops. The
location of the outlets are in Ethiopia and Belgium and for the new outlet the owner, Asif has
chosen East England.
E-Commerce is also known as Electronic Commerce which deals with the buying and
selling of the products, goods and service over the Internet (Laudon and Traver 2016). The
business of E-commerce deals with the selling of the products online. Because of the easy
and convenient features of the e-commerce, the users enjoys shopping online; therefore, for
the retailers and business owners, this can play a vital role in earning more value (Sharma and
Lijuan 2015).
E-commerce:
E-commerce is often used in terms of the Transactional processes for shopping online
(Pappas et al. 2017). There are three fields of e-commerce which are, electronic markets,
online auctions and online retailing which are supported by the electronic business. E-
commerce can be categorised into four types based on online transactions, which are as
follows:

In this type of e-commerce, the interchanging of the products and services is carried
out electronically (Deng and Wang 2016). Only the companies are involved in the business,
and the customers or consumers are not involved. The retailers, manufacturers and
wholesalers are included (Gorla, Chiravuri and Chinta 2017).
Business to consumer:
The companies directly sell their products or services to the customers with instant
payment or with payment after delivery (Rouibah Lowry and Almutairi 2015). In this type of
business, the user interface of the websites serves the customers to check the products and
relevant prices online and also let the consumers read the reviews of the products before
purchasing (Ting et al. 2016).
Consumer to Consumer:
In this type of e-commerce, only the consumers or customers are involved instead of
any company (Joo 2015). The consumers trade products and services among themselves
online. In this type of e-commerce, only the platform is provided to the consumers, which
acts as a third party for enabling the transactions (Yrjölä et al. 2017). Online auctions are also
carried out in that platform.
Customer to Business
This type is exactly opposite of the Business to Consumer here the consumers make
their products or services accessible online so that the companies can bid on and buy the
products (Hallikainen and Laukkanen 2018).
