Abstract:
Electronic commerce is an explosive appearance of the Internet as the main channel for the distribution of goods, services, even in managerial and professional matters. All this leads to a profound shift in the economy, markets and industrial structure, products and services and their flow, consumption segmentation and behavior, the labor markets. The impact is great on society and politics, even the impact of the way we see the world is felt. Electronic commerce is by definition a process of buying, selling, transferring or exchanging products, services or information through computer networks, including the Internet. The importance of e-commerce has been changing over the past 30 years. Initially, electronic commerce involved electronic facilitation of commercial transactions, using technologies such as EDI and EFT. This technology was invented in the late 1970s and allows businesses to send commercial documents, such as orders electronically. The use of computer electronics in stores in the second half of the 70s is taking place in two directions, namely: new technology has found its application in traditional trade institutions, the development of computers and communications, and support for the creation of a new institution - electronic commerce. Electronic marketing channels and e-commerce during the 80's were mentioned primarily in the vision of developing large business systems. Large companies are aware of the possibility of expanding their businesses, and this is a very important tool. The increased acceptance of credit cards and telephone banking in the 1980s are also forms of e-commerce. Another form of e-commerce might be mentioned the airline reservation, which at that time was characteristic of Saber in the US and Travicom in England. Since the 1990s, e-commerce includes enterprise resource planning, data retrieval and storage. Until 1991, the commercial use of the Internet was strictly prohibited. Although the Internet became quite familiar around 1994, it took 5 years for the construction of security protocols. By the end of 2000, many European and business companies from the United States began to offer their services via the WWW.
