Advantages of E-Commerce


  • Increased Access:  Now, consumers can buy and get access to goods all around the country even the world.  Consumers can sit at home and get all their products and services without even leaving the house.  Businesses can not have to worry about pickup and the use of e-commerce has made it easier for businesses to run their operation without the hassle of going to their supplier.  

  • Convenience: Businesses and consumers now don't have to go out of their way to buy products and services.  Businesses who buy overseas are unable to physically go to buy their services.  Businesses can go to their supplier's website and order the products they need. 

  • Expansion: Before e-commerce, businesses were restricted to either their states or to certain areas because it was too costly to set up offices in different areas.  With the coming of e-commerce, businesses has access to consumers and other business in all 50 states and even the entire world!

The ACM code of the general moral imperatives section 1.1, "Contribute to society and human well-being" is illustrated in the advantages of e-commerce.  Because of this new use of technology, people are able to get access to products and services that before were not available.  Businesses profited from e-commerce because now they have a wider market and also small businesses can expand easier with the use of the internet and e-commerce.  More jobs were developed in the internet field since the boom of e-commerce which helped those stuck without jobs in the slowing of the job market.
