Introduction
E-commerce refers to the use of communications
technology particularly the Internet to buy, sell and market
goods and services to customers. Electronic commerce is a
modern business methodology that addresses the needs of

improving the quality of goods and services and increasing
the speed of service delivery. It also applies to the use of
computer networks to search and retrieve information in
support of human and corporate decision making.
