Why the Optimism? - Continuing rapid growth of the Web - Business are rapidly deploying intranets/extranets and moving toward browsers as universal frontends
Lessons from Dot-coms(Fortune 10/30/2000) - Internet isn’t as “disruptive” as we thought - If it doesn’t make cents, it doesn’t make sense - Time favors incumbents - Making a market is harder that it looks - There is no such thing as “Internet time” - “Branding” is not a strategy - Investors are not your customers - The Internet still changes everything - Entrepreneurship cannot be systematized - The Internet changes your job - Distinction between Internet/non-Internet firms fading - The real wealth of creation is yet to come
“To manage a business well is to manage its future; and to manage the future is to manage information” Marion Harper
The History ofEncyclopedia Britannica - Founded in Scotland in 1768, but the world’s most prestigious and comprehensive encyclopedia since 1941. - Its content was revised every 4/5 years. - 1990 an all-time peak of about $650 million. With generous margins, and a compelling and stable brand. - CD-ROM came from nowhere, and then the Internet, sales decreased over 80%. - Since 1995, investment bankers tried to find a buyer. In 1996, Jacob Safra paid less than half of the firm’s book value.
Dilemma of Institutions Going Online They have been penalized for not doing enough fast enough, as well as for doing too much too quickly.
The Challenge - The value chain is being deconstructed - No longer functions but new businesses - Evolve beyond its physically defined origins - Break down the current business into components. - Compete against the old, buy from/ally with competitors. - The organization, incentive, and operating style will change. - Existing competencies, procedures and power structures stand in the way.
What is e-Business Technology-mediated exchanges between parties (individuals, organizations, or both) as well as the electronically based intra- or interoganizational activities that facilitate such exchanges. Rayport and Jaworski, 2000
How is e-Business Different from Traditional Commerce - Core strategic decisions are technology-based - A real-time competitive responsiveness - The store is always open - A technology-based customer interface - The customer controls the interaction - knowledge of customer behavior - Network economics
What if YOU are in charge of a new e-Business initiative - Which customer groups should I serve? - How do I provide a compelling “value proposition” - How do I communicate with customers? - What is the content, “look-and-feel,” community, and degree of personalization? - How should I structure my organization? - What are my potential partners? - How will this business provide value to shareholders - What metrics should I use to judge progress?
e-Business Is a technology-enabled business strategy whereby companies leverage increased customer knowledge to build profitable relationships, based on optimizing value delivered to and realized from their customers.
e-Business - It is a strategy, not an application, technology, or suite of products - It is not a grassroots initiative - It includes B2B and B2C - No one vendor provides all needed applications
Key elements for success - Lasting relationship with customers - Owning the customer-base - Cross-selling opportunities / multiple sources of revenue - Strong branding - Large number of offerings to reach/capture consumers - Superior virtual customer service - A value proposition that is better and more enticing than the off-line world (not just an additional distribution arm).
A great e-Business strategy includes: - Realign / reinvent business processes - Use the full range of technology - Sell the company as well your wares - Use technology to maximize customer contacts - Put current application to strategic use
