“…Their study was one of the first to adopt the terminology of WBSS. Choi, Choi, Park, and Kim (1998) examined the issue of reducing the volume of network traffic in the cyber mall system. They also suggested that the basic architecture of the cyber mall system consists of four major technical components: (1) the cyber mall creator, (2) the cyber mall server, (3) the cyber mall player, and (4) the WWW server.…”

This article offers a theoretical analysis of evolutionary processes in WBSS strategies. For that purpose, we propose a research model that shows strategy patterns. Based upon the model, we identified several types of strategies. In our research model, WBSS are classified into four types: (1) general-direct-sales (GDS); (2) general-intermediary-sales (GIS); (3) specialized-direct-sales (SDS); and (4) specialized-intermediary-sales (SIS). On the basis of these four categories of WBSS, we analyze the characteristics of WBSS and suggest five evolution strategies for WBSS, which have implications for both theory and practice. Amazon.com's strategic movements, such as product line expansion through alliance and acquisition, provide an exemplary case of the evolution of WBSS strategy. We expect that this research will serve as a guide for Internet businesses and as a catalyst for new research agendas relevant to Web-based shopping and electronic commerce.
