A number of trials for renewing grocery purchasing process as a part of home help for the elderly and disabled have lately been initiated in Finland. In all but one of these trials electronic commerce (EC) services are included in the purchase process. In this article we compare these trials using the time efficiency of home\u2010helpers as a primary criterion. Using electronic order delivery gives even additional benefits, releasing the home\u2010helper from the need to visit the grocery store. The Full EC Model would be the best solution. However, it might not be feasible for most customers, who do not necessarily have the technology or ability to use it. Therefore, the intermediary based EC seems to be most suitable for this customer group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/09593849910301649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,28]],"date-time":"2002-07-28T18:48:52Z","timestamp":1027882132000},"page":"389-402","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["EC of groceries for elderly and disabled"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jukka","family":"Heikkil\u00e4","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jukka","family":"Kallio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Timo","family":"Saarinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Virpi","family":"Kristiina Tuunainen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022030920321623400_b1","unstructured":"Airaksinen, L.
