What we are seeing today is only the beginning. Soon it will be hard even to dene e-commerce, let alone measure it. Is it an e-commerce sale if the customer goes to a store, nds that the product is out of stock, and uses an in-store terminal to have another location ship it to her home? What if the customer is shopping in one store, uses his smartphone to nd a lower price at another, and then orders it electronically for in-store pickup? How about gifts that are ordered from a website but exchanged at a local store? (http://hbr.org/2011/12/the-future-of-shopping/ar/1)
