Measuring Economic Impacts of B2B e-Business Basic Modelling Considerations
Overview What is e-Business Theoretical assumptions on impacts Our approach of measurement Results How to modify the initial model?
What is B2B e-Business? 1 E-Business is the machine-readable (and processible) exchange of information which is linked to business processes. Typical business processes of every enterprise are: Purchasing, production/ range of products planning and logistics, sales and development. Machine-readable informations are informations which contain descriptive data on content in addition to the processible content of data, informing about the content and the necessary processing steps. • Typical content of descriptive data implies information on • Product • Supplier/ customer • Transaction • Further processing • These informations have to be standardised
What is B2B e-Business? 2 E-Business therefore is the standardised exchange of information related to business processes which needs standards on several levels: Product/ supplier/ customer standard Catalogue format standard Transmission standard and Integration standard The aim is not only the automation of processes but the integration of information into all relevant process chains within the enterprise and with all partners in the value chain in order to increase transparency and throughput speed and to save transaction, capital and handling cost.
What is the B2B application potential? 1 • Critical points for the application potential of B2B are the • Complexity/ richness and the reach of information • Possibility of decomposition of value chain processes • Coverage of strategic or tactical human action (complementary • information exchange) vs. automated information exchange
What is the B2B application potential? 2 Complementary information exchange for strategic and tactical human action B2B information exchange Information with potentially wide reach Very rich information
Types of Business Information complementary communication feasible & measurable as B2B very rich information simple information

Impacts expected by theory 1 • Reduction of transaction cost by • Person to machine and machine to machine transactions • Wider and faster availability of information • Use of new instruments e.g. auctions, demand aggregation • Collaboration effects by • Co-operative stock- and logistics management; reduction of Forrester effects • Reduction of throughput time • Knowledge management • Dis-intermediation and Re-intermediation due to • new compromises between richness and reach of information (e.g. elimination • of old intermediaries and the creation of new intermediaries) • Employment effects by • e.g. elimination of administrative functions, changed knowledge demand • Self organisation of co-operative networks because of • Shift of the horizontal and vertical limits of enterprises • Increasing fragmentation of the value chain • Increasing dispersion of critical knowledge
Impacts expected by theory 2 • Typical diffusion phases • (Strassman, Skinner, Millard...) • characterised by • Implementation of new technology • Internal diffusion of applications • Definition of standards & interfaces • New process organisation • Organisational adaptation • Diffusion of “General Purpose Technologies” • (Helpman/ Trajtenberg) • characterised by • Pervasiveness • continuous technol. advances • Necessity of complementary innovation • Impacts dependent on completion of complementary innovation • “downstream” productivity gains
