“…In January 2004, Covisint LLC spun off its auction business and was purchased by FreeMarkets Inc. (Anonymous, 2004). Although they have been successful, the Federal Trade Commission has been watching very closely because of the ownership by competitors and the potential for price fixing opportunities (Karpinski, 2001; Foer, 2001). The infrastructure of any trading exchange requires the use of collaborative commerce applications to include integrative forecasting tools and design software that are currently in the development phase or have not been fully implemented (Milligan, 2000).…”

PurposeThe primary purpose was to learn about different variables of an integrated strategy associated with choosing to supply through business‐to‐business (B2B) intermediaries and apply the variables to a series of cases.Design/methodology/approachA literature review served as a basis to develop an integrated model. A combination of primary and secondary research was conducted to apply the concepts of the model to different internet trading exchanges.FindingsEach trade exchange offers a different set of customers and suppliers vying for business opportunities. There are no common platforms for software and hardware. If a small company is interested in trading through an internet exchange, they want to select based on the variables identified that best meet their needs and integrate with their business strategy.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus was on industrial products and may not be applicable to consumer products.Practical implicationsSuppliers must carefully operate in the future by evaluating each customer and determining which trade exchanges will provide them with the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. The infrastructure investment is an unavoidable cost that cannot be forgone unless the supplier wants to discontinue providing to most of its customers. The supplier needs to look at all aspects identified in the integrated business model and the foundation and facilitation for success lie in the information management of the entire entity.Originality/valueThis paper takes the existing body of knowledge and applies it to the development of an integrated e‐business model for industrial suppliers used to compare different internet trading exchanges.

“…If the e-commerce platform has a certain dominant position in a specific market, and uses this dominant position to require merchants to only operate on the platform, it is commonly known as "Pick One of Two", which not only substantially deprives merchants of their right to choose and infringes on their interests, but also may cause serious consequences of restricting fair competition in the market, destroying market order and damaging consumers' legitimate rights and interests. The frequent occurrence of this kind of behavior also reflects the deficiency of the regulation of "Pick One of Two" behavior in our country, which is an urgent problem to be solved in practice [1][2]. The "Pick One of Two" behavior of e-commerce platform is suspected of abusing the dominant market position to restrict transactions within the framework of the current Anti-Monopoly Law [3].…”

E-commerce has a strong development momentum in recent years, and the oligopoly structure trend of e-commerce platforms has become more and more obvious. At the same time, the “Pick One of Two” behavior of e-commerce platforms has been constantly performed in various fields. Although “Pick One of Two” behavior has existed for many years in China, it has not been effectively regulated so far. The “Pick One of Two” behavior of e-commerce platforms not only destroys the fair competition order between platforms, but also damages the legitimate rights and interests of operators and consumers. In view of this, this paper analyzes the dual nature of e-commerce platform “Pick One of Two” behavior and the inadequacy of the theory of abuse of comparative advantage.

This article outlines a practical set of four challenges to senior management who wish to quickly self assess the “fitness” of their organization to manage risk. These four challenges arise from the business and project risk environment in the context of organizational and personal attitudes to risk: Do we understand the shareholder value risks of our strategy choices? Do we understand the risks that our structure and processes pose for implementation of chosen strategies? Is the risk appetite of the organization consistent with the risk appetite of our staff? Are we confident that our staff are effective and efficient in reacting to, and dealing with, risk? The four challenges offered in this paper will enable senior managers to broadly self‐assess an organization’s ability to manage risk as both a value‐creating opportunity as well as a value‐protecting activity.
