Model of e-commerce network with price comparison sites
Original language description
In general, relationships within e-commerce can be modeled using a bipartite graph (network). One part of this graph is made up of customers and the second part is formed by e-shops (sellers). Edges show customer activities as they visit websites of different e-shops. However, online price comparison sites (PCSs, comparators, shopbots), such as Heureka, enter into these relationships. PCSs allow easily to compare the prices of desired product in different e-shops. These price comparators do not only show the price in different e-shops, but also the rating of the relevant e-shop made by customers. The questions addressed by this contribution are what strategy was chosen by the price comparator for market entry, when it is worth to terminate services of online price comparator, etc. In this paper, we use network analysis and simulation methods to model network dynamics to address these issues.
