    QUESTIONS [90 MARKS]

    QUESTION ONE [30 MARKS]

    1.1 Internet is said to be a worldwide interconnected network of computers that allows a computer
    in one part of the world to communicate with a computer located somewhere in the world but it
    cannot work alone.
    In your own words identify and discuss all the:
    Technologies
    Devices
    Software
    Applications that make the internet work.
    (Use the report format)

    Describe three factors that would cause a company to continue doing business in traditional ways and
    avoid electronic commerce. Use practical examples to support your answer. (30)

    QUESTION TWO [20 MARKS]

    2.1 Rand Water Engineering Company (RECO), a privately held machine shop, makes industrial quality,
    heavy duty machinery for assembly lines in other factories. It sells its presses, grinders and milling
    equipment using a few inside salespeople and telephones. This traditional approach worked well during
    the company’s start up years, but BECO is getting a lot of competition from abroad. Because you worked
    for the company during summers of your college years, BECO’s president, Tom Dalton, knows you and
    realizes that you are Web savvy. He wants to form close relationships with the steel companies and
    small parts manufacturers that are BECO’s suppliers so that he can tap into their ordering systems and
    request supplies when he needs them. Tom wants you to investigate how he can use the Internet to set
    up such electronic relationships.

    2.1.1 Write a report that briefly describes how companies use extranets to link their systems with those
    of their suppliers, then write an evaluation of at least two companies (using information you have
    gathered in your Web searches) that could help develop an extranet that would work for Tom.
    Prepare a close report with an overview of how RECO could use VPN technologies in this type of
    extranet. (20)
    QUESTION THREE [40 MARKS]

    3.1 Whilst e-commerce related activities have grown substantially over the last few years some
    consumers in South Africa are still unwilling to accept the on-line self-service e-commerce
    business model.
    3.1.1 Explain why such a reluctance to accept the on-line self-service e-commerce business model
    continues to exist. (20)

    3.2 As a potential online consumer, access any policies that are in place to protect online South African
    consumers, and then answer the questions that follow:

    3.2.1 Describe the laws that protect consumers making purchases online. (10)
    3.2.2 What should customers be aware of? (10)

    TOTAL: 100 MARKS
