What is e-business? • Is it a business based on electronics? • Exploit electronics (information technology) in business • e-business or out-of-business
Things that make you hmm… • Computers were only used to replace typewriter • Computers can do more (not just an electronic typewriter) • Save, recall, easy editing • Transfer files without changing the format, layout, content • File sharring • Desktop publishing, arts • Features that were difficult tointerpolate from typewriter
E-business then… • Uses Internet (media & technology, web) • Internet and computer networks are not just replacement of telephone and fax • The ability to exploit technology (information, computing, communication) will win • Save cost, reduce time, reach the whole world, better supply chain, …
Implications • Advances in computing, communication should increase our quality of life. Is it? • Longer working hours. Work even at home • No “life” (family) • Wider gaps between the have and the have nots • Are you really ready for this?
E-business in Indonesia • Depends on readiness in • Economy: understanding the New Digital Economy • Legal framework: Cyberlaw (eg. Digital signature law, IPR) • Hard infrastructure: telcos, power, human resources • Soft infrastructure: IDNIC (domain), IDCERT (security) • Community: culture, ethics
Indonesia Cybercommunity • Define “Indonesia cybercommunity”! • Since the Indonesian digital population is still small, opportunity to create a better community. No “burden of size”. • Ethics!
Ethics: Do well or do right? • “Business ethics” is oxymoron • Do the right thing! • Corporate must have values • From “Silicon Valley”, magazine of San Jose Mercury News, 4.16.2000http://www.svmagazine.com/2000/week17/features/Story01.html
