ECommerce as "business activities conducted using electronic data transmission technologies, such as those used on the Internet and the WWW"

E-Commerce is often confused with E-business, with many people believing the two terms are interchangeable, when in fact this is incorrect. As opposed to E-Commerce, E-businesses create strategic opportunities and competitive advantage by adding value for customers and improving efficiency through the use of Internet and information technologies. E-Business deals with the models and strategies of the business itself. E-Commerce is a result of E-business, and deals with the technology-mediated physical transactions and exchanges between parties as well as electronically based intra- or inter-organisational activites that facilitate such exchanges.

Advantages of Forecasting An organization uses a variety of forecasting methods to assess possible outcomes for the company. The methods used by an individual organization will depend on the data available and the industry in which the organization operates. The primary advantage of forecasting is that it provides the business with valuable information that the business can use to make decisions about the future of the organization. In many cases forecasting uses qualitative data that depends on the judgment of experts. Disadvantages of Forecasting It is not possible to accurately forecast the future. Because of the qualitative nature of forecasting, a business can come up with different scenarios depending upon the interpretation of the data. For this reason, organizations should never rely 100 percent on any forecasting method. However, an organization can effectively use forecasting with other tools of analysis to give the organization the best possible information about the future. Making a decision on a bad forecast can result in financial ruin for the organization, so an organization should never base decisions solely on a forecast.
