Is e-commerce the same as e-business?

E-commerce and e-business are distinct concepts. In e-commerce, information and
communications technology (ICT) is used in inter-business or inter-organizational
transactions (transactions between and among firms/organizations) and in business-toconsumer
transactions (transactions between firms/organizations and individuals).
In e-business, on the other hand, ICT is used to enhance one’s business. It includes any
process that a business organization (either a for-profit, governmental or non-profit
entity) conducts over a computer-mediated network.
