E-Business and the Supply Chain: Is It Simply Supply-Chain.com?

Overview E-business is changing the Industrial Age models of customer acquisition, procurement, pricing, and customer satisfaction as well as how we measure the performance of a corporation. Focus on the customer is all-important. Customers want to buy products anytime, anywhere cheaply and quickly and fulfillment processes must be structured to meet the demanding requirements. The effect of e-business on the total supply chain is no less spectacular. Already the successes of Fortune 500 and smaller companies committed to a Web model offer irrefutable proof that e-business spikes the performance curve on the buy side and the sell side. This paper will discuss the changes being driven by e-business, and it will examine the technologies that will make your company successful.
