Some E-Tailing Fallacies
• Focus of competition away from quality, features and service to price
• Dubious measures of sales (lower price inflates sales volume, some revenue in form of stocks of partner dot-coms)
• Wrong metrics (number of customers or site visitors)
• Lower estimation of costs (infrastructure needs, customer acquisition, employee compensation schemes)
• Business model not sustainable
