Electronic markets: Business Model

*summary

E-commerce has changed from traditional commercial behavior to developing commerce to


become online in order to facilitate business operations, reduce costs and increase profits. It is
now common to see trade between companies (B2B), business between consumers (B2C)and
trade from consumer to consumer(C2C), and this made it easier for merchants and consumers
.to exchange benefits between them

And The design of an electronic commerce system usually starts with the creation of a business
model. In most cases, such a business model is written down with some informal sketches for
natural language. The concepts and their interpretations used to describe a business model vary
across different stakeholders, and this leads to significant obstacles in e-commerce applications
to achieving business-IT alignment. Given the facilitating role of IT in e-commerce, this question
of consistency is no longer just an engineering issue: it has a strategic significance. Thus, an
ontology is useful when developing a business model to prescribe and principles and
relationships must be present in a business model, In this case, an ontology should provide a
reusable conceptualization of the concept of e-business model that people can agree on. The
ontology can also be used to describe specific business model in a precise and structured
manner by specializing and instantiating concepts and relations of ontology for a particular case.
In the current context, we are primarily interested in ways of improving contact between
different stakeholders, i.e. in common understanding rather than automatic reasoning. Thus,
our current goal is to build a so-called' lightweight' ontology[17]. In addition, an ontology
business model shows designers what kind of decisions should be taken During development of
business model. If stakeholders agree on a par-specific business model, a number of business
decisions have been made so that the model serves as a precise set of business requirements for
the system of electronic commerce. To software engineers who design the electronic commerce
system from a technical point of view, these criteria are important. Ontology to e-business
models must be able to represent a variety of business issues. Such problems center around the
common value definition and how to build and share it in a network environment, and this is our
main proposal. Informally, a business model illustrates a network of actors and how they
construct it.Or consume valuables. These actors may be private individuals, corporations or
business alliances. In fact, a business model reflects the services provided by and demanded
from the actors. If an individual is willing to exchange value objects (e.g., the right to listen to a
music track) for another value object (e.g. money) it should be able to represent. A business
model also illustrates which players are able to have economic transactions with other actors. If
actors offer each other objects of value in which both have a mutual interest, a transaction is
possible. Finally, actors must conduct value-creating activities; for other actors, or even for
themselves. Information technology (IT) has long been applied to support inter-agency exchange
of goods, services, and information. However, with the advent of electronic electronic markets
based on the Internet business-to-business (B2B), real opportunities for online transactions have
opened up. This paper develops an extended framework for the study of B2B electronic market
.business models in terms of their roles
