CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
In today's era, E-commerce has acquired a great importance in the world. E-commerce is
the commercial transaction conducted electronically on the internet. It is the buying and selling
of goods and services or transmitting data or funds, over an electronic network, primarily the
internet. India's rapid growth across a range of frontiers appears to be good news for global
consumer businesses seeking to access its markets. Internet proliferation and increasing uses of
online shopping channels pose a new opportunity to reach customers. There are various
advantages of E-commerce for the businesses (Leong and et.al., 2016). It makes the process of
buying and selling faster and it also persuades 24/7 availability of goods and services to the
customers. Businesses can reach to the wide range of customers by using internet marketing.
The cost of operation will also minimise by using e-commerce activities. For the business
operating in emerging market, e-commerce facilitates cost effective operations. On the other
hand, the benefits of E-commerce is not limited up to the businesses only, as it is also very
beneficial for the developing countries. It improves the technological sector of the nations, it
generates employment opportunities, encouraging real-estate, generating opportunities for
merchant partners and many others advantages which is very important for the developing
market to develop and grow more.
This chapter provides background information on the impact as well as importance of E-
commerce on emerging markets in developing countries. Amazon company is being chosen for
the study and India is being chosen as emerging market. This chapter will be start with the
research background, problem statement and aims & objectives.

some big organisations are striving to take over the giant Indian e-commerce market. The
research study will examine the impact of E-commerce on Amazon that is growing its business
in India (Agwu and Murray, 2015). Amazon is a multinational technology company focusing in
e-commerce, artificial intelligence and cloud computing.It is founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994. It is

Wu, 2015). With the passing of time and effect of globalisation on the businesses, e-commerce
activities are growing with higher growth rates. In addition to this, e-commerce has converted the
life of people living in India to more leisure as goods and services are directly delivered to the
customers at their doorstep. Apart from this, there are various other problems arise in studying
the research topic like specifying the E-commerce businesses and its influence in the India would
have required time. Time has been utilised in data collection, analysis process of research which
was not enough for scholars. The tools used in analysing the data set on which researcher have
used SPSS that has not reflected proper outcomes through operations.

CHAPTER 2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
A literature review is the survey books, scholarly articles and any other sources which are
relevant to a particular issue, area of research or theory. It also provides a summary, description
as well as critical evolutional of the work in respect to the research problem by being
investigated. It is the secondary sources as well as do not report new or original experiment
work. This chapter of literature review is very important in the research as it gives reader easy to
investigate or study on a particular topic by selecting standard and top quality of articles and
other materials which are relevant. Literature review also rendered a brilliant starting point for
the scholars beginning to investigate in a new area by forcing them to summarize, evaluate as
well as compare original research in that specific area.
This chapter aim to review the theme as well as topic of fundamental background for
examination. There are four themes which are formed on the basis of objectives. All the themes
are studied in depth with the evidence of the research as well as link to the aim and objectives of
the research.
2.2 E-commerce aid in the economic development of developing countries.

catalysing factor for the economic growth of a developing economy like India. It is the said to
buying and selling of goods and services over the internet. It leads to both internal and external

proper job opportunity, giving a financial stability to various service providers associated with
Amazon and e purchase services.
According to the Ionescu (2015), indicates that the e commerce services and companies
that are operating within a developing country like India also aids in the economic growth of the
country in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI). This enhances the quality of services and
financial operations of the firm. The gaining of FDI has multifold benefits on a developing
country. It increases the number of jobs within a country, improving economic stability within a
firm. As more and more man power will get the recruitment, effectiveness and accessibility of e
commerce platforms like Amazon will increase to higher level. Besides this, the contracting or
collaborating with different product manufacturers and service providers will see a rise in their
profitability to a higher level. They'll be able to sell out their finished goods and services on local
as well as global level to international customers and gain a good amount of revenue. This will
help the organisation to enhance their core compatibility and efficiency of operations within a
developing country like India. Amazon being a trustworthy brand all over the brand, will be
effectively accepted by the customers. Other than this, prolonged festive seasons and providing
suitable offers will prove out to be a major factor to increase sales of products and goods sold by
e commerce enterprise, increasing economic viability of firm.
As per the Rahayu and Day, (2015) The growth of GDP and emerging market like India
as a major market leader with one of the highest number of consumers, operations of e
commerce sites like Amazon will see a tremendous growth of the firm. This will also improve
the economic accessibility of organisation and will lead the firm to increase the profitability, not
only for itself but also for its assisting service providers. In India E-commerce is the highest
growing and developing sector. Just like the growth of IT sector in India through 1990, the 2010
will be remembered for the tremendous growth in the industry of E-commerce. The contribution
of E-commerce to GDP of the economy is around 0.2 percent. The impact of E-commerce is very
giant that the present motion of de-monetisation cannot be thought if it is not existed.
2.3 The relationship between e-commerce and emerging market.
As per the Bilgihan and Bujisic, (2015) there is a great relationship exist between the e-
commerce and emerging markets. In developing countries like China, India, Brazil, South Africa
etc. the future of e-commerce is very bright. It is the technology that is expected to become more
popular in coming time. Whereas the e-commerce is the maturing market, emerging countries are

balanced to become the succeeding mega market as the acceptance of internet raises bit-by-bit.
All over the regions, emerging markets are the hotbeds for e-commerce which comes with
specific opportunities as well as challenges. In emerging or developing, e-commerce is
flourishing exponentially. There is direct relationship between the e-commerce and emerging
market as high use of e-commerce activities means high growth and development of the country.
As the findings of Rust and Kannan, (2016) the future of e-commerce in emerging market
like India is very strong. There are some industries where the growth of e-commerce is very high
such as in retail, logistic, manufacturing, supply chains, online businesses etc. It is fact that in
India, there will be large share of population who will buy goods via online medium by 2025
which is not so far from the average penetration of 65% of developed nations. The total annual
online retail sales across emerging markets such as Brazil, India, Indonesia could be reach up to
3.7 trillion as well as influenced the organisations across dynamic industries such as
manufacturing, retail, finance, technology and security.
According to the Shaikh and Karjaluoto, (2015) In India, the way of conducting
businesses is changes with the emergence of e-commerce. With the use of mobile phones and
smartphones or adoption of e-commerce, the growth of economy is on highest peak which shows
the interconnection or relationship between the e-commerce and emerging markets. If emerging
countries adopt e-commerce, then it will increase the GDP of the developing nations. With the
help of E-commerce, emerging markets can easily make an effective connection with the
developed nations which is great opportunities for them to grow and develop more. Smartphones
are the core driver for the online access. There are various benefits that e-commerce has on the
growth and development of emerging market like with the use on latest technologies, the process
of buying and selling becomes very fast and convenient.
The speedy elaboration of e-commerce is transforming many emerging nations, bringing
an array of advantages for the customers as well as entrepreneurs as said by Rust and Kannan,
(2016). Whereas, there are distinct opportunities for dynamic huge, local business can hold
unique advantage. In emerging market, the increase of e-commerce brings many advantages to
the customers specially people living or operating businesses in remote or rural areas. The
emergence or rise of e-commerce help to develop countries by bringing more affectivity in the
system as well as it also attracts innovative products. In addition to this, the relationship between
7

to continue to outgrowth and it is due to increasing share of online consumers.
Lilien, (2016) stated that, By the use of e-commerce activities like mobile phones or
smartphone, smartphone has put shopping malls in the pocket of every customers. Moreover, the
developing markets are going to be very important for the growth and development of e-
commerce, as retailers in emerging markets might be soon reach impregnation in terms of the
growth of consumers. In e-commerce potential, India is the overall leader because India is
keeping its eye on them. It is also fact that with the use of E-commerce, the infrastructure of the
emerging market will definitely develop as developed regions will not think too much in making
transaction with the businesses.

The new age of technological solutions are being taken up in order to resolve various issues of
businesses to carry commerce to everyone digitally and it is seen in both B2B along with B2C as
said by Strauss and Frost, (2016). Emerging markets are investing into the sector of technology

CHAPTER 3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
3.1 Introduction
The present chapter of research methodologies which is very important in conducting the
entire research effectively. In order to reach the outcomes of the result it is very essential for the i
have to use the most suitable methods to solve the problem of the research. Research
methodologies are the way to solve the problem of the research in logically. This present chapter
will provide outline along with the justification for the methods used by the scholar in
conducting the research study (Dickerson and et.al., 2018). It discusses the type, approach,
design, philosophy, sampling, data collection, data analysis and ethical consideration. Further,
the chapter also provides the alternative methodologies which can be used by the i have to reach
the aims and objectives of the research study.
3.2 Research Type
Research type of the important part of the study because the entire examination or study
is based on the type of research chosen by myself. It is very essential that scholar should select
the type of research very carefully that will solve the concern or issues using scientific methods
(Quinlan and et.al., 2019). Qualitative and Quantitative methods are mainly the types of research.
Quantitative method of research generated data which are measurable or in numerical form in
order to quantify the variables, behaviours, views etc. Whereas the Qualitative methods are used
in the research which is based on feelings, emotions, words and other non-quantifiable
information or data. In this present dissertation, scholar has adapted quantitative research method
by which i have identify the impact of E-commerce on emerging markets.
3.3 Research Approach
Research approach is the plan as well as process of which consist of the steps of wide
assumptions in order method of data collection, analyse along with interpretation. Inductive and
Deductive are the two main types of the research approach. The relevance of hypothesis to the
examination is that fundamental distinct point between inductive and deductive approach.
Deductive approaches are those where the I have aims and test the existing theory. On the other
hand, inductive approach is those which are concerned with the generation of new theory rising
from the information (Takhar-Lail and Ghorbani, 2015). This present projectis based on
deductive approach because it included testing of theory. With the help of this theory
investigator has successfully identified the impact of E-commerce on emerging markets.

3.4 Research Philosophy
Research philosophy is a belief about the style in which informatics or data about the
phenomenon must be assembled, analysed as well as utilised. Positivism and Interpretivism are
the two types of research philosophies. The philosophy where the positive knowledge is based in
natural phenomenon along with their relations and properties. Beside this, Interpretivism
philosophy that integrates human interest in to the examination or study. In this present
dissertation, investigator has adapted positivism philosophy because this is the best method to
study the behaviour of human and society (McConville, 2017). Hence, the data derives from the
sensory experience that is interpreted through logic and reason has form the unshared source of
all definite knowledge. With the help of the positivism research, investigator has successfully
identified the impact of E-commerce on emerging markets.
3.5 Research Design
Research design is also a very essential part in conducting the research and to reach the
aims and objectives of the research study. It refers to the entire strategy which is selected by the i
have in order to integrate various elements of the study or examination in logical way. Research
design is the best way to answer all the question of the research. Descriptive, Experimental,
Correlational and Diagnostic are main four types of the research design. In this present
dissertation, investigator has used descriptive research design in order to descriptive the whole
case or situation of the particular investigation (McNely, Spinuzzi and Teston, 2015). With the
help of descriptive research design, i have has successfully identified the impact of E-commerce
on emerging markets.
3.6 Sampling
This is the crucial part of the project. Sampling is the process of dividing large number of
population into small parts because it is not possible for the scholar to study the ample size of
population. Thus, in order to make the work easy and convenient, sampling is done to collect the
data from the respondents. Probability and probabilistic are the two main types of sampling.
When all the individuals stands equally to be selected in the sample is known as probability
sampling (Husted, Henriques and Crane, 2018). On the other hand, when all the individuals do
not have equal chance to be selected in the sample as in this type of sampling respondents are
selected by using some methods are called as non-probabilistic sampling. Investigator has
12
Document Page
adapted probabilistic sampling where scholar has collect the data from Individuals India. By
using the simple random sampling techniques on which scholar have selected 20 random
consumers of Amazon India to be answer the questions which were being presented in the
questionnaire.
3.7 Data Collection
Data collection is the backbone of the research study. The entire study is meaningless
without the process of data collection. It is systematic process which is used to collect as well as
measure the information on targeted variables in a well defined system that enables the one to
answer relevant question as well as measure the outcomes (Matthes, Niederdeppe and Shen,
2016). Primary and Secondary are the two types of methods for collecting the information.
Primary methods are those which are collected by the i have own self and scholar has collected
the data for very first time. The data which is collected by the investigator are first hand or un-
usable data such as survey, interview, force group etc. On the other hand, secondary data are
those which are assembled by other sources like books, journals, internet articles and blogs. The
information which is collected from primary sources are much reliable as compare to secondary
data. In this present dissertation, scholar has used to collect data from primary sources by using
the survey questionnaire as the best instrument. Thus, with the help of survey questionnaire, i
have has successfully answered the research questions as well as reach the aim and objectives of
the study. Moreover, there have been survey over 20 randomly selected consumers of Amazon
India.
3.8 Data Analysis
When the data for the research is collected, it is very important to give actual meaning to
the research because data without its analysis is meaningless and it is fact. It refers to the
systematic procedure for inspection, cleaning, alternative as well as modeling of information
with the aim of finding the useful information, informing conclusion and supporting decision
making. In this present dissertation, scholar has adapted IBM SPSS statical software to analyse
the quantitative data (Salazar, Crosby and DiClemente, 2015). From BOS to SPSS, the entire
data were transferred in excel file. The reason behind selecting SPSS tool for the analysis of data
is that the result has high level of accuracy and transparency as well as it also performs different
statical analysis accurately and quickly. Descriptive statists have used in order to depict the
characteristics of the sample as well as to make sure that there were no violations in the
13
Document Page
assumptions made by the individual test before testing hypothesis. With the help of SPSS tool,
scholar successfully identified the impact of E-commerce on emerging markets.
3.9 Ethical Consideration
When it comes to conducting of the research, ethics are the most important part. Norms
and standards for conducting the research is known as ethics. With the help of norms and
standards, it makes easy for i have to distinguish between wrong and right. In this present

4.3 Hypothesis findings
To analyse the reliability of the data base there have been use of Cronbach’s Alpha value
which has been tested on the 7 variables. However, on the basis of such measurement there will
be use of threshold of 0.60 -0.70 to examine the reliability of the data base. Thus, the below
listed outcome have presented value of Cronbach’s alpha as 0.611 which is near to the lower
acceptable data base. Thus, the data is less reliable to have accurate ascertainment of issues.

CHAPTER 5: DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
5.1 Research overview
On the basis of aim and objectives of this research which is based on analysing the impacts
of E-commerce industries in the national growth of emerging market. Thus, the influences of this
trending techniques of trade and commerce have been indicating adequate growth and
contribution in an economy. On the basis of this there have been analysis made on Amazon’s
operations in emerging nation India.
This study is comprised of implicating the qualitative methods on which i have have
analysed the operations of Amazon in India. To consider these aspects there have been use of
simple random sampling technique on which various questions based on influences of E-
commerce on travel and tourism, banking sector, GDP, Technology, Smart phone users and
employment have been evaluated. It has been asked to 20 Individuals of India to represent their
reviews on the basis of Likert scale questionnaire.
As per analysing the outcomes on which it can be said that, influences of E-commerce
business is mainly on economic factors. Thus, on the basis of analysis and measurements on
which it can be said that E- commerce industries are beneficiary in terms of uplifting the level of
economy as well as technologies. Along with this, its creates the employment opportunities for
society
5.2 Discussion
On the basis of outcomes presented in the data analysis and finding section which have
presented the responses of the Individuals on the basis of various questions. They have presented
their reviews and opinion regarding the impacts of online trading and commercial activities
which helps them in economic activities of India. These questions were based on several
economic factors such as GDP rate fluctuation, Employment, travel and tourism influences, raise
and fall of the banking sector, increment in technology as well as impacts on the number of smart
phone users. However, on the basis of which it can be said that there are positive reviews on the
data base which have presented that there are positive changes in the national economy of India
after influences of E-commerce business.
It has been analysed through survey that, the impacts of online business have raise up the
GDP level of India as there has been supportive increment in the small and medium size

number of supplier and distributors have impacts the raise in national employment rate. Thus,
trough which it can be said that there will be positive growth in Indian economy.
In terms of analysing the results based on implicating the tools such as Cronbach’s Alpha
and Correlation on the data set. However, the range of Correlation id between -1 to +1 therefore,
in this case majority of them have presented positive results. Thus, the data which were being
tasted have positive relationship between them. On the other side, in analysing the Cronbach’s
Alpha which have presented the data base through which the threshold of analysing the
reliability of data is between 0.60 to 0.70. In relation with such outcomes which are near to 0.60
that defines lower reliability on the used information.
5.3 Limitations and Future Research
By summing up the entire process of research on which there have been various limitations
which have observed by i have. The duration of processing survey analysis is required to be
more as i have have been allotted with the less time. Along with this, implicating the use of real
data such as GDP rates over the period, Employment rate etc. which will be helpful in bringing
the most reliable and accurate ascertainment of the information.
On the other side, using small sample size of 20 Individuals is very short as there must be
use of more than 50 individual or big data set to have adequate analysis over impacts of e-
commerce businesses in country.
5.4 Recommendations
From the above analysis conducted by i have identified various recommendation on the
basis of outcomes as well as adequate impact of E-commerce on the growth and development of
businesses. I have provide following recommendation to Amazon India that should company
should follow in order to achieve the great heights of success.
Amazon India should Up-sell and Cross sell- Amazon is currently selling the variety of
products to the customers. The act of boosting a customer to buy a good similar to the one he/she
is looking at but which has either selling price or higher margin. On the other hand, Cross selling
is the process of boosting shoppers to purchase complementary products after they have bought
that have intention to buy. Thus, Amazon should use sales affinity data and put efforts to pick
cross sell and up-sell products which encourage customers to add items to their shopping cart.
Amazon should keep the company website updated- It is very important that website of
company should be remain updated because it is the best way to raise the online platform of the

organisation in the market. Like, discount offers, festival sales or any other new changes in the
exchange or refund policy should be updated on time.
I have suggested that Amazon should use advance technologies for delivery of the
products in the market. It is not enough to focus only on logistic management but it is also very
important to use SEO which is Search Engine Optimisation.
Amazon should carefully target the online audience- E-commerce depends greatly on a
reputable, accessible online presence. I have said that, it is very important for Amazon to make
goods and services available to those who are the repeated customers.
Amazon should use promotions to attract customers- Whether the business is new or old,
promotion plays a key role in the success of the business. Amazon should promote their business
by using social media marketing as this is one of the best way to raise the sales and make the
customers aware of offers, sales, discounts, gift vouchers etc.
5.5 Conclusion
The above projectcomes to the conclusion that E-commerce has acquired a great
importance across the world and it is very essential for the growth and development of emerging
market. Businesses using internet marketing can reach to the wide range of customers. The cost
of operation will also minimise by using e-commerce activities. For the business operating in
emerging market, e-commerce facilitates cost effective operations. Further, the above findings
also identified that e-commerce services and companies that are operating within a developing
country like India also aids in the economic growth of the country in the form of foreign direct
investment. Moreover, the above analysis also summarised the growth of GDP and emerging of
market as a major market leader with one of the highest number of consumers, operations of e
commerce sites. It improves the economic accessibility of organisation and will lead the firm to
increase the profitability, not only for itself but also for its assisting service providers. The whole
study was effectively and efficiently identified impact of E-commerce in emerging markets as
well as in the growth and development of organisations.
