What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. The business-to-business (B2B) model is when businesses conduct business through the Internet with other businesses. Examples include Dell Computers selling to corporate clients or Ford's linkage with thousands of suppliers. The business-to-consumer (B2C) model represents businesses selling goods or services to consumers. Lands' End or Barnes and Noble selling directly to consumers through their website are examples.
