From the Paper:

"The integration of corporate websites into an organization's marketing strategy is unavoidable in 21st century marketplace. In fact, for many enterprises, the website and how its marketing strategies are formulated is the organization for all practical intents and purposes. Researchers have even begun to observe that how a website is integrated into marketing strategies is far more intrinsically related to deeper organizational concerns such as the very business model that an enterprise is founded upon (Owens, 2006, paras.1-3). These concepts related to corporate websites are examined from a business to business (B2B) and a business to consumer (B2C) perspective utilizing an example of each modality: IBM and eBay."
