Abstract

Despite being a recent phenomenon and being in constant evolution, e-commerce (EC) is already embedded in current society. However, difficulties in establishing a universally accepted definition have resulted in a multiplicity of meanings that sometimes merge with the e-business (EB) concept. This article presents a brief historical and conceptual evolution of EC and some of its most significant aspects.
