Introduction

Almost a quarter-century has passed since the commercial use of the Internet and the World Wide Web. During this period, the business landscape has changed rapidly. Large multinational companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, and Uber, which were unknown until twenty years ago, have emerged as key players in the modern economy. In 2015, online sales accounted for 7.4% of total retail spending in the United States, the highest percentage since inception in 1999 (Pascoe et al., 2022).
The literature review indicates that the majority of previous research has taken a quantitative approach, and there is a gap in conducting qualitative research. Additionally, there has been little investigation into management concepts in the field of e-business. Examination of e-commerce concepts with their unique characteristics has expanded the boundaries of knowledge in the field of technological business. The expansion of e-businesses, thanks to the digital economy, has made managing and organizing these businesses a strategic necessity.
