Electronic business (also known as online business or e-business) is any kind of business or commercial activity that includes sharing information across the internet.^[1] Commerce constitutes the exchange of products and services between businesses, groups, and individuals;^[2] and can be seen as one of the essential activities of any business.^[3]

E-commerce focuses on the use of ICT to enable the external activities and relationships of the business with individuals, groups, and other organizations, while e-business does not only deal with online commercial operations of enterprises, but also deals with their other organizational matters such as human resource management and production.^[4] The term "e-business" was coined by IBM's marketing and Internet team in 1996.^[5]^[6]
