Q9: As a marketer, do you agree with theexecutives who say better quality customerrelationships is one of the most important e-business benefits? Why?
As competitors and consumers can easily andquickly check prices by visiting their respective
Web sites, the need for additional value addedattributes or services is very enhanced. In fact, selling firms must differentiate their
products on some basis other than price that is
important to buyers: non-price competition. Undoubtedly better quality customer relationshipsis critical in differentiation their product in thisincreasingly commoditized market.

Discussion Question 11
Q11: Some economists suggest that the increase in e-commerce within the B2B market will lead to greater
competition and more goods and services becomingcommodities, meaning they compete solely on price. Howdo you think this competition is likely to affect buyerswithin the B2B market? How would it affect sellers?
Answer: Competition might increase because purchasing firms caneasily and quickly check prices for competing selling firms simply byvisiting their Web sites. In fact, the selling firm will send e-mail andprovide customized Web pages to make it even easier for buyers.Sellers can similarly view competitors prices and thus may try tomatch them. In this environment, firms must differentiate theirproducts on some basis other than price that is important to buyers:non-price competition. They can use the Web to help them byconducting market research to see what customers want, how theyperceive various competitive products, and by using these data tomodify product offerings. They further can use the Web to customize
communication to buyers thus adding value.

Discussion Question 12 Q12: What concerns about consumer privacy are raised
by the increased use of wireless computing and handheld
devices outside the home or workplace? Privacy refers to: the right to be left alone, and the
right to keep ones personal information private.
With regard to wireless computing, one big concern is
text message spamming. Another is can intercept wireless transmissions, accessing
personal information sent over wireless networks. With services that broadcast data throughout the air,
consumers have reason to be even more concerned. The
same issues with privacy, credit cards numbers, personalinformation, etc. apply, except now people can listen inand even jump onto your network.
Encryption standards are still widely debated. In futurewith mobile commerce and automated account transfers
over wireless networks, security will become paramount.
