Commerce As a System

As with most terms, commerce has a variety of definitions. From the individual to the multi-national, and from the sharing of ideas and opinions and, of course, goods and services, commerce denotes and exchange of something between parties. Commerce is usually considered as a process in which a means is utilized to achieve an end such as enriching oneself, one's company or state through trade. Examining commerce more closely, though, much of its benefit occurs during the process rather than as a result of it. There is often engaging and broadening social interaction between individuals and groups during an exchange. The buyer gets satisfaction from getting a need filled and the seller experiences the same in filling that need through recognition of the value of what is sold or exchanged. ..»
