OBJECTIVE: Know about the origin and evolution of E-Business.

At the beginning of the 1920s,
catalog sales, promoted by wholesale companies, appeared in the United States.
This system of sale, revolutionary for the time, consists of a catalog with
illustrative photos of the products to be sold. This allows having better
access to people, since there is no need to have to attract customers to the
sales premises.



This enabled the stores to be able to have clients in rural areas, which
by the time that this modality was developed, there was a large mass of people
affected in the countryside. In addition, another important point to keep in
mind is that potential buyers can choose products in the tranquility of their
homes, without assistance or pressure, as the case may be, from a seller.



The sale by catalog took greater impulse with the appearance of the credit
cards; in addition to determining a type of relationship of greater anonymity
between the client and the seller. At the beginning of the 1970s, the first
commercial relationships appeared that used a computer to transmit data, such
as purchase orders and invoices. This type of exchange of information, although
not standardized, brought with it improvements in manufacturing processes in
the private sector, between companies in the same sector.

RESULT: Develop a more extensive knowledge about the origin and evolution of E-Business
