A Conceptual Treatise Of U-Commerce In The Financial Market

For u-commerce to help facilitate the financial marketspace, there are two important components for ubiquitous electronic trading to take place – (1) demand and supply of financial knowledge – the demand for instantaneous knowledge or information is critical because knowledge/information appears to be limited most of the time, and (2) the information systems tools and the appropriate user-interface - for ubiquitous electronic transactions to happen in the financial marketspace, users demand the proper type of information systems tools and user-interfaces for them to safely execute transactions anytime anywhere.
