The potential impact of B2B exchanges

Abstract

Investigates the online market and its new vocabulary. Defines what is offered and what the ‘e’ and ‘i’ models are. Suggests there are four basic types of online marketplaces, and these are: exchanges; catalogue hubs; MRO hubs; and yield managers. Looks at other models of online sources and where they might work best. Sums up that online markets are a new phenomenon and their impact on competition is still difficult to judge — but should not be ignored — regulators do not want to stifle new forms of competition.
