· E-Commerce is a main part of E-Business
· Some people agreed that when business is completely carried through an electronic medium, then it can be referenced as E-Business. There is no need for an E-Business to has a physical presence in the market. If a company owns an office, and along with physical presence carries out their business activities via the internet, then it can be referred as E-Commerce.
· E-Commerce includes any kind of business transaction which related to money, but E-Business includes monetary and allied activities.
· E-Commerce needs the internet to be able to connect with the rest of the world. E-Business can use more than that. Other than the internet, it also can take advantages of intranet and extranet to be able to connect with the parties
