Why E-Business is Growing

E-business is offering great opportunities especially to developing countries. It is helping them to enter the prosperous global markets merely at the click of the mouse. This focus on computer-to-computer interactions is helping businesses in discovering new cost-effective opportunities not only locally but also internationally.

Negative example: many single-brand stores and bookshops that refused to sell online watched customers move to marketplaces — the product was fine, the channel was missing. Ignoring e-business is itself a business decision, and usually a costly one.

Think about it: your own side hustle is already an e-business case study. If you bake cakes and take orders on WhatsApp, you have shortened your distribution channel, saved your customer a trip, and kept personnel cost at zero.
