server applications that enable the purchase to
take place.

and distributors. It enables consumers to purchase
products directly from the manufacturer, thus
eliminating added costs.
 Second, it provides an easy and effective way to
acquire pricing information. Consumers can easily
search and compare prices on the Web.

elasticity information. This means that sellers can
gauge the demand for a product based on
fluctuations in price.
