1. Clearly state which e-business model you have chosen. For each chosen website report the business name, the homepage URL, and include a screenshot of the homepage.

The e-model chosen for this assignment is Business to Consumer (B2C) model.

The websites to be analyzed are:

1. Peugeot Australia URL: http://www.peugeot.com.au/

2. Kia Motors Australia URL: http://www.kia.com.au/

3. Hyundai Motor Company Australia URL: http://www.hyundai.com.au/

2. For each chosen website, in 1-2 paragraphs, explain why the website belongs to that particular e-business model.

All the websites fit in B2B Business Model.

1. Peugeot Australia: The website though provides the information about its products i.e. new cars, used cars and its various services to the customers whether individual or business (under business & fleet) but direct to the dealers which are the ultimate providers/sellers of the product and services. Thus, it doesn't deal directly with the customers but provides the detail of the companies business and direct to the other business.

As, it acts as an intermediary between the customer and dealer, it is a B2B business model. (Jones P., 2000)

2. Kia Motors Australia: Through this website Kia Motors Australia provide the detail information about its models available in Australia along with the showroom locations, its after sales services and their providers and other information useful for the people who want to buy. However, again as this is not a website which let the customers have a direct purchase and instead act as an intermediary so it also fits in B2B e-business model.

3. Hyundai Motor Company Australia: The website of Hyundai Motor Company Australia offers almost the same information as the other websites mentioned above with no direct dealing with the customers. One can get a great deal of knowledge about the company's products/models in the market and all other services the company provides with linking the customer or viewer to the nearest dealer to make the final purchase. This website thus, again comes under B2B model.
