Introduction

In this modern days whereby information age conquers the world, communication is essential to us. We are becoming dependent on internet, email, mobile phone, roaming and wireless broadband, etc. In today context, effective communication is the key. A manager can still access to his company’s daily financial reports and give advice to his employees even though he is on a holiday trip in another country. Hyperglobalists like Marshall McLuhan believes in “global village” whereby the world is “shrinking” with the help of technologies. Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-Commerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown dramatically since the wide introduction of the Internet. A wide variety of commerce is conducted in this way, including things such as electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, e-marketing, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Priceline.com and eBay are two good examples of successful e-Commerce.
