Reviewing Project Opportunities
1. Background on Online Markets
Typical Approaches Used
• Many online markets work like reverse auctions: the Service Provider identifies a job and offers to complete it for slightly less than the other “bidders.”
• Like eBay, both Service Provider and Service Buyer are rated according to delivery and dependability in graded systems.
• Some sites act as virtual message boards where Service Buyers simply post a request and it is between the Buyer and Provider to establish qualifications and project terms.
1. Background on Online Markets
• Difficulty of landing initial projects
• Lack of experience in bidding for large projects
• Skills gaps and lack of knowledge of international business norms
