纯网上零售商与传统零售商的竞争实际上就是新业态(网上零售模式)与旧业态(传统实体零售模式)的竞争。如今,这种竞争已经到了白热化的程度,到底是online淘汰了local,还是如IBM所说local beat online,又或者被另一种新的商业模式所替代呢?下面将要比较分析online和local。
一网店与实体店交易过程的比较
网店是在网络上进行商业交易活动的商店.交易双方足不出户就能完成整个交易过程.它大大节省了交易者的货币,时间,体力等成本.网店虽然是借助现代科学技术而形成的新的交易方式,但是它仍然保持着实体店的本质特点,即实现商品,服务和货币之间的价值交换.买方获得了需要的商品或服务,卖方获得了货币利润。网店与实体店最大的差异,在于它扬弃了统交易的形式。一般来说,实体店的交易模式有4个基本的要素:门店位置,商品,交易双方,物流。其中门店位置决定着实体店的交易效率,是交易活动最重要的条件。物流在实体店中只是辅助性的要素,只有当顾客购买大宗商品,不可能手提袋装时,才需要物流的介入。
