1. E-commerce electronizes and digitizes traditional business processes. On the one hand, replacing real logistics with electronic flow can greatly reduce manpower and material resources and reduce costs; On the other hand, it breaks through the limitation of time and space, so that trading activities can be carried out at any time and any place, thus greatly improving efficiency.
2. The openness and globalization of e-commerce have created more trade opportunities for enterprises.
3. E-commerce enables enterprises to enter the global electronic market at a similar cost, making it possible for small and medium-sized enterprises to have the same information resources as large enterprises and improving their competitiveness.
4. E-commerce redefines the traditional circulation mode, reduces intermediate links, and makes direct transactions between producers and consumers possible, thus changing the whole social and economic operation mode to some extent.
5.
On the one hand, e-commerce breaks down the barriers of time and space, on the other hand, it provides abundant information resources, which provides more possibilities for the reorganization of various social and economic factors, thus affecting the economic layout and structure of society.
6. Interactivity: Through the Internet, merchants can communicate, negotiate and sign contracts directly, and consumers can also reflect their feedback suggestions on the websites of enterprises or merchants, and enterprises or merchants should timely investigate product types and service quality according to consumers' feedback to achieve benign interaction.
Defects and existing problems
1, the network itself has limitations.
In this mode, we can only rely on the production of websites and web designers to grasp a better web mode and show goods to consumers.
2. The search function is not perfect.
3. The security of the transaction cannot be guaranteed.
The security of e-commerce is still the main factor affecting the development of e-commerce. Due to the rapid popularization of the Internet, e-commerce has aroused widespread concern and is recognized as the most potential new growth point of IT industry in the future. However, how to ensure the security of data transmission has become one of the most important factors in the popularization of e-commerce when conducting transactions on the open network. The survey company conducted an online survey on the application prospect of e-commerce. When asked why they don't want to shop online, most people's problems are fear of being attacked by hackers and losing credit card information. Therefore, some people or enterprises are unwilling to use e-commerce for fear of security, and security has become the biggest obstacle to the development of e-commerce.
The security problem of e-commerce is actually the integrity problem between people. Understanding each other in real business and trade requires the cooperation and efforts of both sides. The future of e-commerce needs the cooperation of all netizens.
4. The management of e-commerce is not standardized.
5. Tax Issues Taxation (including customs duties and taxes) is an important financial source of a country. Because e-commerce transactions are carried out in the environment of international information network without fixed places, it is difficult for the state to control and levy taxes on e-commerce.
6, the standard problem
Different countries have different national conditions, and there must be some differences in the trading methods and means of e-commerce. Moreover, we are facing borderless and global trade activities, so it is necessary to establish relevant and unified international standards in e-commerce transactions to solve the interoperability problem of e-commerce activities. The current problem of e-commerce in China is that the concept is unclear, and those who engage in electronics engage in commerce and those who engage in commerce engage in electronics, which are discrete, disorderly and biased.
7. Distribution issues
Distribution is a nerve-racking problem for both merchants and consumers. Online consumers often encounter the phenomenon of delayed delivery, and the delivery cost is very high. Insiders pointed out that there are no systematic, professional and nationwide commodity distribution enterprises in China, and the distribution and sales organizations have not formed an efficient and complete distribution management system, which undoubtedly affects people's shopping enthusiasm.
8. Intellectual property issues
Among the legal problems caused by e-commerce, the protection of intellectual property rights bears the brunt. Because the computer network carries digital information, the problem of copyright protection is particularly prominent in the field of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets).
9. Legal issues of electronic contracts
In e-commerce, the written contract used in traditional business transactions is no longer applicable. On the one hand, electronic contracts are easy to forge, and it is difficult to prove their authenticity and validity; On the other hand, the existing laws do not regulate the legal effect of digital seals and signatures of electronic contracts.
10, identification of electronic evidence
The information in the information network is unstable or changeable, which makes it extremely difficult to lock or obtain infringement evidence when the information network infringes, and brings great obstacles to solving infringement disputes. How to ensure the stability, authenticity and validity of information under the network environment is an important factor to effectively solve infringement disputes in e-commerce.
1 1, other details
Finally, there are some irregular details, for example, the prices of online goods are uneven at present, and the biggest difference between the prices of major trading categories is 40%; The regional differences of online shop services are large; There is a problem with the online shopping invoice; The response speed of online stores to orders is uneven; The law on e-commerce does not clearly stipulate the rights and obligations of the parties to the transaction.
