a. A wire transfer of $200,000 to the Minister of Contracting of Gambia made by Bordeaux Builders, Inc., a French corporation, and originating from its corporate headquarters in New York in order to secure a construction contract.

  • ILLEGAL: the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits bribing officials of foreign countries in exchange for monetary benefits for a US company.  

b. A birthday card and bottle of California wine sent annually by Woody Pulp, the chief executive officer of Pacific Paper Products, Inc., a U.S. corporation, to his long-standing friend who is the Director of Government Procurement for the Japanese government.

  • NOT ILLEGAL: this is just a gift and its value is not significant and will not result in a financial advantage for the company.

c. A cash payment of $100 made by an agent of Chicago Chemicals Company, a U.S. corporation, to a processing clerk in the Chilean Office of Business Licensing in order to expedite consideration of CCC's application for authority to conduct business operations in Chile.

Which of the following describes business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce purchases? Group of answer choices Customers bid on items
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Pricing can vary for each customer.

Explanation:

Under the B2B, the manufacturer sells its products directly to other businesses such as wholesalers or retailers and not the end consumers.

Hence, pricing can vary for each customer in a business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce purchases because companies that are engaged in B2B are able to improve their performance and cut down the costs of procurement for goods and services.

Business to business (B2B) markets differ from Business to consumers (B2C) markets because salespeople personally call on business customers to a far greater extent than they do consumers.
