3) Why study e-commerce?
Answer: It is important to study e-commerce in order to be able to perceive and understand the
opportunities and risks that lie ahead. E-commerce is a disruptive innovation that is different and
more powerful than any of the other technologies we have seen in the past century. E-commerce

twentieth century, the evolving Internet and other information technologies are shaping the
twenty-first century.
