This is part of a study beginning in 96, and examining impacts in a way that is comfortable for small business. In the background is the fact that the commercial domain is the most rapidly growing part of the Internet.
Internet is a tool for communication and mobility, which can provide access to valuable information.
Seven cases of small commerce were given as examples. A method is needed to understand the impact on small businesses. To compare diverse business, categories and level of impact are studied in a matrix model. This model is a useful tool beyond the scope of academia. The outcome of this work is a comparison between real and virtual worlds, a taxonomy of internet strategies.
