Online vs. traditional In online business, there is a shift from supply side to demand side Customers are looking for core benefits and companies should respond accordingly Customers can add value to an online business Companies should facilitate C2C relationships
7 models for E-business Metamarket Switchboard model Traditional and Reverse Auction models Freshest-Information model Highest-Quality model Widest-Assortment model Lowest-Price model Most-Personalized model

Traditional and Reverse Auction models They bring together a large number of buyers and sellers In traditional model, the buyer with the highest bid buys the item. In reverse model, the supplier with the lowest bid delivers the goods to the buyer. Example: ebay.com
Ebay.com Core benefit: Large and deep product line, large no. of buyers & sellers Offering: Trustworthy and easy transactions of products and cash Resources: Large user community, brand name, credibility, technology and support Revenues: Transaction fees, in-house auctions
Freshest-Information model Quickly and efficiently deliver information to users Example: nytimes.com

Highest -Quality model High quality, premium-priced products, services or information Across all consumer markets and categories, there is room for a high-quality offering Example: fao.com
Fao.com Core benefit: High-quality products and their associated exclusivity Offering: Toys, dolls, arts & crafts, collectibles etc to a niche market Resources: Sourcing ability, brand exclusivity, an outstanding online experience that’s simply the best Revenues: High margins for premium products
Widest-Assortment model Breadth and depth of product assortment, within and across product categories Example: secondspin.com
Secondspin.com Core benefit: Large inventory and best prices, so shop here first Offering: Internet's largest buyer and seller of used CD’s, DVD's, videos, games etc Resources: Very strong logistics, quality control, large user base and brand name Revenues: Product sales, premium pricing of most desired products
Lowest-Price model Offers the customer the lowest prices available online Example: buy.com
Buy.com Core benefit: lowest prices above anything else Offering: Large variety of products across many categories Resources: Outstanding supply chain management and procurement, strong back-office systems, frugal culture Revenue: Small percentage of product sales
Most-Personalized model Able to provide a highly personalized, truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience Example: reflect.com
Reflect.com Core benefit: A unique experience or product, or a personalized solution to a problem Offering: The offering is built on the demands of each customer Resources: Exceptional customer knowledge, a good website, a combination of personnel and technology Revenues: Premium prices for high cost service
Conclusion A company can pursue more than one model at a time Never blindly follow any business model Companies should think how each component - value proposition, online offering, resources, and revenue model - will fit together to form a successful business.
