Talk:Business-to-business

message: In summary, it appears that the 'transactions' comment is emotive and arguable. Is it also true that whether the answer falls one way or the other has no relevance to the topic or the understanding of the term B2B ... in which case we could remove it. 193.32.30.68 (talk) 16:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Where it says that the number of transactions between B2B are higher than B2C... NO. WRONG. You can't make a statement like that, because it depends on the industry. It is true in SOME cases, wrong in many others. For example, in MANY retail businesses, from electronics stores to local "Milkbars" as we call them in Australia (like convenience stores), you usually have ONE supplier, but THOUSANDS of customers. So this is just untrue.

:The point is that there are several possible downstream actions for each consumer purchase.  A candy bar may be bought from a distribution company, which bought it from a manufacturer, which bought the ingredients from 30 different companies, which bought from farms, and so on.  A souce would be nice on the statement, though. Kuru (talk) 17:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Too much spam

message: Somebody deleted all the really good b2b marketing content so I've reinstated it.
Also, it said "It is a term that originated and is almost exclusively used in electronic commerce and usually takes the form of automated processes between trading partners." which isn't even remotely true as b2b is used widely outside of that field, so I fixed that too.

message: How does volume of all b-transactions  of one entity may be more, than volume of all c-transactions?
May be instead of volume author means volume of all transactions of entity and all of it`s suppliers and all of they supplyers???
Or it`s mean by volume that it`s a number of operations or deals?
It`s a strange statement anyway.
Please help to rewrite it those, who knew english well also as economics.

message: The last line says that "The final transaction, a finished vehicle sold to the consumer, is a single (B2C) transaction."
But it might seem misleading. In fact, according to the context, we can also claim that finished vehicles sold in markets has many types and designs, so customers too can choose their favorite cars among a catalog of a vast collection of cars at motor shops.
Therefore, it might not be right to say that B2C (business-to-customer) is a single transanction. -- Sakura67 (talk) 04:24, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
