Differences between E-commerce and E-business

There is a debate among consultants and academics about the meaning and limitations of both e-commerce and e-business. Some argue that e-commerce encompasses the entire world of electronically based organizational activities that support a firm’s market exchange including a firm’s entire information system’s infrastructure (Rayport and Jaworksi, 2001). Other argues that e-business encompasses the entire world of internal and external electronically based activities including e-commerce (Kalakata and Robinson, 2001).
