Computer Engineering

Electronic commerce (EC) is a term for any type of business, or commercial transaction that involves the transfer of information across an electronic network, primarily the Internet. EC has expanded rapidly over the past decade and is predicted to continue at this rate, or even accelerate because it allows consumers to exchange goods and services with no barriers of time or distance and it is often faster, cheaper and more convenient than the traditional methods of commerce. It is clear to see that EC is an area of importance in the field of business research, but there have been only few literature review on this area, and hardly any of them are recent study. In this paper, an updated literature review and classification framework for EC research is presented. The study is based on the analysis of a large number of publications (especially journal articles) related to EC using various electronic journal databases and printed journals. All of the papers in the review are classified according to proposed classification framework which consists of main and sub-categories based on their main focus and results of these are presented. The results of this study demonstrate that an increasing quantity of EC research has been conducted for a wide range of areas. It is to be hoped that this study will be helpful for anyone interested in EC as a source and arouse more interest.
