E-Business Defined
How Mantech has implemented E-Business solutions
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)"

From the Paper
" For many companies today, establishing a presence online has become part and parcel of doing business; however, e-business opportunities and initiatives are frequently regarded as being both risky and challenging, particularly for bricks-and-mortar companies confronting new challenges such as a lack of e-business skills, resistance to process redesign, and the ambiguity associated with changing the information technology (IT) infrastructure of the company (Daghfous and Al-Nahas, 2006). In this regard, Jackson, Harris and Eckersley (2003) emphasize that, "As managers increasingly recognize, the Electronic Age calls into question many established 'good' business practices while also creating new challenges and dilemmas" (p. 4). Likewise, Galagan (2001) cautions, "In such a fast-moving competitive market, there are many ways for companies to take a wrong turn. Bad business models, narrow market niches, low margins, premature entry into a market, and going with the wrong technology have finished off many companies and made others targets for acquisition" (p. 33). In this environment, identifying relevant current e-business theories, real-word applications and the potential for future applications represents a timely endeavor."

From the Paper
"The internet is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century having revolutionized global communications. Its world wide web enables high speed information exchange at low cost around the globe. This gives companies new business opportunities and provides the basis for the rise of e-business, i.e. electronic business (in some literature it is referred to as e-commerce). The term e-business stands for information exchange and business transactions via the internet and via other electronic devices (e.g. EDI devices). However, for reason of simplification this essay uses the term e-business in relation to internet based technologies only."
