ABC Analysis in an Internet Shop: A New Set of Criteria

This article presents a model of ABC analysis tailored for internet shops. The standard set of criteria is expanded to cover e-commerce specific characteristics, such as the number of product views, search engine rankings and product links via a recommendation system..The proposed new methodology is applied to real data from an internet bookstore in Poland. A comparison with the results of a standard, not internet-oriented ABC analysis shows the advantage of using the new set of criteria.ABC analysis, internet shop, inventory control

Evolution of polish E-commerce - main trends and perspectives

The aim of this paper is to present main phases of Polish e-commerce development and to show its major trends. The author also tries to predict future directions of its development. The whole e-commerce process of development is divided into five phases. The first part of the paper presents the beginnings of Polish e-commerce. Then the following stages of development are discussed with presentation of some key figures e.g. percentage of individuals who ordered goods or services over the Internet. E-auctions phenomenon is analyzed and it’s influence on market is shown. WEB 2.0 philosophy in e-commerce is shortly described. Internet price comparison services are another occurrence which is analysed and specialization versus diversification of offer in Internet shops is discussed. The author shows the examples of Polish e-shops which changed their range of assortment. The last part of the paper shows future perspectives of Polish e-commerce and discusses probable ways of development into internationalization.e-commerce, Internet shop, Internet market

Genetic algorithms in forecasting of Internet shops demand

The general aim of this article is to present genetic algorithms as a tool, that can be used in de-mand forecasting in internet shops. First part of article identities factors, which have to be taken into consideration during analysing demand in internet shops, e.g. dispersion of demand, delivery time in-fluence and different e-marketing factors. Specific form of used demand function is shown in the next section of the article. Then genetic algorithm is defined by its genetic operators acting on bit strings (examples of the operators are: crossover, inversion, and mutation) and its method of credit allocation (fitness evaluation and selection). Next the method of identification of the function parameters using genetic algorithms is shown. The next part of article shows appliance of presented genetic algorithm. The advantages and disadvantages of proposed method are shortly discussed in summary.abc analysis, inventory control, internet shop,e-commerce

Analysis of on-line services

The aim of this paper is to analyse on-line services as well as to classify them and show their main advantages and disadvantages. In the first part of the paper the author proposes a short taxonomy of on-line services. Then the typical course of on-line services realization is presented and the revenue models in on-line services selling are analysed. Next the main advantages and disadvantages of on-line services selling are shown. The last part of the paper describes the examples of Polish on-line services. The services are divided into three categories: fully-automated, half-automated and not-automated.internet, on-line service, e-business

Genetic algorithms in seasonal demand forecasting
