ELECTRONIC RETAILING
The e-retailing(less frequently; e-Retailing, e-Tailing, etc.) is the concept of selling of retail goods using electronic media, in particular, the internet.. e-retailing is synonymous with business- to- consumer (B2C) transaction model of e-commerce. Although e-retailing is an independent business model with certain specific constituents like; trust model, electronic transaction process, etc, but in reality it is a subset of e- commerce by nature. Electronic retailing or e-tailing, as it is generally being called now, is the direct sale of products, information and service through virtual stores on the web, usually designed around an electronic catalogue format and auction sites.

E-BUSINESS MODELS
Creating an e-business solution mainly involves creating and deploying an e-commerce site. The first step in the development of an e-commerce site is to identify the e-commerce model. Depending on the parties involved in the transaction, e-commerce can be classified into 4 models.

These are: Business to Business (B2B) model Business to Consumer (B2C) model Consumer to- Consumer (C2C) model Consumer to Business (C2B) model
E-retailing strategies of myntra

Business-to-Business (B2B) Model

The B2B model involves electronic transactions for ordering, purchasing, as well as other administrative tasks between houses. It includes trading goods, such as business subscriptions, professional services, manufacturing, and wholesale dealings. Sometimes in the B2B model, business may exist between virtual companies, neither of which may have any physical existence. In such cases, business is conducted only through the Internet. The advantages of the B2B model are: It can efficiently maintain the movement of the supply chain and the manufacturing and procuring processes .It can automate corporate processes to deliver the right products and services quickly and cost- effectively. The B2B model is predicted to become the largest value sector of the industry within a few years. This is said to be the fastest growing sector of e-commerce

Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Model

The B2C model involves transactions between business organizations and consumers. It applies to any business organization that sells its products or services to consumers over the Internet. These sites display product information in an online catalog and store it in a database. The B2Cmodel also includes services online banking, travel services, and health information. the consumer might doubt that his information is secured and used effectively by the business organization. This is the main reason why the B2C model is not very widely accepted. Therefore, it becomes very essential for the business organizations to provide robust security mechanisms that can guarantee a consumer for securing his information http://www.eservglobal.com/uploads/files/index.pdf

Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) Model

The C2C model involves transaction between consumers. Here, a consumer sells directly to another consumer However, it is essential that both the seller and the buyer must register with the auction site. While the seller needs to pay a fixed fee to the online auction house to sell their products, the buyer can bid without paying any fee. The site brings the buyer and seller together to conduct deals.

Consumer-to-Business (C2B) Model

The C2B model involves a transaction that is conducted between a consumer and a business organization. It is similar to the B2C model, however, the difference is that in this case the consumer is the seller and the business organization is the buyer. In this kind of a transaction, the consumers decide the price of a particular product rather than the supplier. This category includes individuals who sell products and services to organizations.

It was introduced by research and analysis firm Gartner, ERP systems now attempt to cover all core functions of an enterprise, regardless of the organizations business or charter. These systems can now be found in non-manufacturing business, non-profit organizations and governments.

Mail created on the client sites is passed to the appropriate post-box within the system or sent out over the internet to its intended destination. Mail from outside is stored in post box files and uploaded to the users machine when requested by the mail client. As with the web server, the mail server uses TCP/IP for its Internet transmissions.
