Fundamentally, it has opened markets to organisations that would not have been considered in the past. Not forgetting, the potential cost reductions that can be achieved.

To date, there are only a few global organisations (outside of the computer industry) that I believe, have intergrated e-Commerce and the internet into their business that I would call, "Well On The Way".

Large global organisations do not fully understand computer technology at a very senior level, hence the slow uptake of the opportunities that are presented.

This may have a profound affect on their market position overtime as second and third tier competitors can establish themselves on the same platform and can adopt new and innovative competitive strategies in shorter time-frames, where larger organisations take time.

If your question is from a marketing orientation.

Then e-Commerce and the Internet have removed the major functions of what I would call marketing and not simply referring to marking as promotion.

Customers can in some ways be the loser in the technology revolution.

How does the Internet change consumer and supplier relationships?

In the age of internet, personal computers and wide availability of internet service providers, consumers have seen a drastic change in their relationships with suppliers. The use of World Wide Web which enables the direct connection of consumer to suppliers has certainly created a more effective method of eliminating the middle man as well as enabling the consumer to have a greater access to the ever growing list of service and goods providers.Essentially, the World Wide Web has been more of an enabling tool in shoppers capabilities. It has enabled consumers to access a wide selection of suppliers, their reputation, prices as well as create an environment which comparison shopping has become substantially easier. Nevertheless the fundamentals have not changed.One of the rather simple examples of the influence of internet on consumer and supplier relationship is a 3 year old study which shows that car shopping in particular has been negatively affected for particular segment of the society.The consumer and supplier relationship is still a symbiotic in which both parties rely on each other's ability to satisfy their respective needs. Consumers need suppliers to satisfy their wants in terms of necessary products and services; suppliers need consumers to produce profits. The role of the World Wide Web, though not saddle, has not changed those fundamentals.Ultimately, both parties; shoppers and suppliers have used and are using the World Wide Web as an additional tool to ease the process; a means to an end. Nevertheless the impact of World Wide Web can be felt in the micro aspects of that symbiotic relationship which has seen advantages as well as disadvantages.
