The Role of E-Business in Organizational Strategy

From the Paper:

"Mantech itself is not an eBusiness organization, however we do use some eBusiness solutions as part of our day-to-day operations. Mantech also has an Internet store where those desiring to purchase apparel or accessories bearing the Mantech logo can do so. Many site leaders and those involved in sales or obtaining vendors frequently make purchases from the Mantech store to provide items to potential customers or vendors. Other ways that Mantech has implemented e-Business solutions is by using the Internet to seek out or acquire new vendors or suppliers which some would refer to as eProcuring.' Eprocurement is "Electronic tools that support and expedite the transactional purchasing process. Through eProcurement, buyers search electronic catalogs (eCatalogs) to find needed items, place requisitions, route for approval, and send to suppliers for fulfillment. Some eProcurement tools (but not all) support the back-end invoicing and payment processing." (ICG Commerce)"
