What is an example of an independent aggregator in an e-business network?

Walmart
Amazon
FedEx
Alibaba

The correct answer is: Amazon

An independent aggregator in an e-business network is a platform that connects various suppliers and consumers without being directly involved in the production or inventory of goods. This allows for a diverse range of products and services to be offered through a single interface, enhancing the purchasing experience for consumers. Amazon exemplifies this role, as it serves as a marketplace that connects numerous independent sellers to a vast customer base. By facilitating transactions between these sellers and buyers, Amazon operates as an aggregator. It does not manufacture the products listed on its platform but provides the technological framework and services that allow for seamless transactions, logistics, and payment processing. In contrast, companies like Walmart, FedEx, and Alibaba have different business models. Walmart is primarily a retailer that manages its supply chain and inventory. FedEx focuses on logistics and transportation rather than directly connecting buyers with sellers. Alibaba, while it does facilitate trading between merchants, is more closely tied to the wholesale market rather than functioning as a general-purpose independent aggregator like Amazon does in the consignment and retail markets.
