CHAPTER 14: E-Commerce and E-Business
TEST BANK – CHAPTER 14 – TRUE / FALSE
1 E-business is the use of electronic means to enhance business processes
2 E-commerce is electronically enabled transactions between a business and its
customers
3 E-commerce is the use of electronic means to enhance business processes
4 E-commerce only involves transactions between the business and its customers
5 Packet switching is the method used to send data over a computer network
6 A router is an electronic hardware device that is connected to each computer to
connect it to a network
7 A protocol is a standard data communication format that allows computers to
exchange data
8 TCP/IP is an abbreviation for terminal communications protocol/Internet protocol
9 The Internet (interconnected networks) serves as the backbone for the World
Wide Web (WWW)
10 A backbone provider is an organization such as the National Science Foundation
(NSF) which funded the Internet and/or the WWW
11 Regional ISPs connect to the backbone through lines that have less speed and
capacity than the backbone
12 Local ISPs connect to the backbone through lines that have less speed and
capacity than the backbone
13 A web server is a computer and hard drive space that connects to the backbone
through lines that have less speed and capacity than the backbone
Trang 215 The standard form of encryption embedded in e-commerce sites and in web
browser software is “Safe Sending Language” (SSL)
16 Due to interstate trade events and taxation issues the U.S Government has
standardized the definition of e-commerce
17 The common term for business-to-consumer e-commerce is B2C The common
term for business-to-business electronic sales is B2B
18 E-commerce provides the potential for much richer marketing concepts that
include video, audio, product comparisons, and product testimonials or product tests
19 Because of computer interaction and the capability of almost instant verification
business across the World Wide Web has a lower probably of fraud, hackers, and compromised customer privacy
20 The AICPA Trust Services Principles do not protect the history of purchases since
these are classified as “public knowledge events.”
21 The AICPA Trust Services Principles state that the customer should be given the
choice regarding the collection and retention of data
22 The AICPA Trust Services Principles state that the customer need not be
contacted if a business is going to release non-sensitive information about the customer to a third party
23 The supply chain is the linked processes from the raw material vendor through
the manufacturer ending at the stage of finished goods
24 The supply chain may be larger at either or both ends as more than one vendor
may supply the same materials and more than one customer may purchase the finished products
25 A strength of the supply chain concept is that inconsistencies or poor quality
within the supply chain will be compensated by other strengths resulting in an overall satisfactory product
26 An example of vertical integration is a manufacturer who mines the raw
materials, produces the product, and then sells it in company owned stores
Trang 328 One advantage in the B2B e-business environment is that operations costs can
be reduced through inventory reductions and efficiencies can be increased by location of nearby assets when needed
29 An intranet is a private network accessible only to the employees of a company
30 Because intranets do not transmit information through the Internet or WWW
they do not use protocols such as TCP/IP
31 An extranet is similar to an internet except that it offers access to a greater
number of sites than a standard Internet or WWW connection
32 One characteristic that the Internet, intranets, and extranets have in common is
that they are all networks that are intended for the sharing of information and the conducting of transactions
33 The general public has general access to the intranet and extranet networks
34 XML is a rich language that facilitates the exchange of data between
organizations via web pages
35 In XBRL complex financial statements are presented only in a static mode
36 Traditional EDI is a real-time processing system due to the 24 hour, 7 day a
week operation of computers and servers
37 Management has an ethical obligation to create and enforce policies and
practices which ensure that private customer data are not misused
38 Because of their sensitive nature, companies seldom sell or share customer lists
or customer data
39 While there is no requirement to disclose a privacy policy on a website, it is an
ethical obligation to disclose and follow the policy
