Description:

e-Business, in its broadest sense, is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to support all business activities. e-Commerce (a subset of e-Business) involves the use of the Internet in the transacting of business.  Organisations are experiencing enormous changes brought about, in part, by the multi-billion dollar evolution of e-Business and e-Commerce.
