New Trends in E-Business: E-Government and M-Commerce
Abstract
The internet has emerged as a major, perhaps eventually the most important worldwide distribution channel for goods, services, managerial and professional jobs. This has profoundly changed the economics, markets and industry structure, products and services and their flow. The consumer segmentation, values and behavior has been shifting constantly due to new technological advances in electronic commerce and mobile commerce.

One of the biggest benefits of the Internet is its ability to allow organizations to perform business with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Internet actually grew out of a project known as ARPANET, funded by the US Department of Defense. The primary objective of this project was to study how researchers could share data in the case of nuclear attack. The project was later transferred to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and became known as the “Internet”. In the beginning it was used by university scholars and researchers, then fueled by technological advancement of computer and communication it became World Wide Web (WWW).
In the early days of WWW it was primarily used by both public and private organization to access information about the businesses products, services, and news.
