Constant improvement and evolution is one of the basic components of human nature. It is a requirement for one’s survival and well-being of future generations. One of the oldest, and definitely most important activities that has massively impacted human evolution and left a big footprint in shaping of today’s world is commerce. Commerce has greatly changed and evolved throughout human history. Its newest form, e-commerce is currently experiencing a boom thanks to the many new improvements in technology and processes used to run e-commerce businesses more smoothly and profitably. As e-commerce has had a very brief history there were only a handful of major factors that played a big role in the evolution of e-commerce. Apart from the new improvements and processes, social media seems to have an incredible impact on whether businesses succeed or not and most, if not all, social media networks can be monetized as part of an effort to do e-commerce business. E-commerce has also enabled the creation of many new business processes, which made humankind’s day-to-day lives much more convenient. So, online entrepreneurs seem to be seizing almost every new opportunity to do their business easier and more autonomously. To sum up, it is uncertain whether technology will continue to impact e-commerce as much as it does as of writing this bachelor thesis, and whether developments will take shape at such pace and in that direction, yet it seems that they will.
