From the Paper
"Although business-to-business activities occur both offline and online, the acronym B2B has come to be known and described as the online version. There is much hype given to the potential size of B2B markets and how much bigger it may get than the online business-to-consumer (B2C) world. The gravy train that drives these expectations is the hopes that information technology (IT) will deliver an inflection point in productivity and economic growth. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on this gravy train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling.

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
"In other words, a company's strategy or target market audience includes other businesses, rather than marketing their products or services to the individual or end user. When it comes to eBusiness, it involves not only company's buying or selling to and from each other; it can involve purchasing, inventory management, supply chain management, accounts receivables and payables, channel management, sales, customer service and support.
"Let us take Dell for example; they are one of the industry's largest eBusiness suppliers. Although Dell sells computers, hardware and other accessories to the public, they also sell in bulk to other businesses as well as offer other solutions to making businesses run its operations easier."

Abstract
This document discusses the underlying principles of e-commerce and e-business. It examines such e-commerce functionalities as customer relationship management applications as a way to illustrate how effective e-commerce and e-business principles can be across all industries. Additionally, the paper utilizes three radically different businesses to illustrate how e-business and e-commerce has elevated business performance measures: Office Depot, Ford Motor Company, and Amazon.com.
From the Paper
"Corporations the world over have utilized e-business or some aspect of electronic commerce (e-commerce) to either act as their sole business model or to enhance the productive performance in some way of their existing traditional business models. E-commerce might be considered as a type of business transaction where the parties to the transaction conduct their commerce electronically where electronically has come to be considered the Internet (Epstein, 2004). Yet, technically speaking e-commerce could just as well be considered to be transacted by phone, fax, or other electronic form of media. Such definitions evade the true essence of electronic commerce, which in practice has become one of those rare cases where changing needs and new technologies have come together to revolutionize the way in which business is conducted over an entirely new medium; commonly termed the Internet."

From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The introduction of the Internet and electronic commerce (E-commerce) is fundamentally changing the way businesses engage in marketing strategies. "Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals" (Kotler and Keller, 2006, p.16). The key components of a solid marketing strategy include a comprehensive analysis of the marketing mix, which includes product, place, price and promotion. Including all elements of the marketing mix optimizes an organization's opportunity for success and is essential to developing tactical plans for selling products and services in a B2B or B2C setting. E-commerce and electronic marketing (E-marketing) is prevalent in business-to-business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2B) settings. This paper provides an explanation of how marketing differs on a B2C site compared to a B2B site."

Summary and Conclusions
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."

"In the 2007 ranking of Forbes Fortune 500, the retail giant Wal-Mart Stores (traded on the TSX as WMT) occupied the number one position with net sales of almost US$350 billion (Wal-Mart Annual 2007 26). In this context, the prime objective of the company is to retain its dominance in the global and the Canadian retail marketplace. In fact, Wal-Mart Canada has in recent years consistently outperformed its US parent company, and today accounts for almost half of all household goods sales in Canada. As Wal-Mart Canada's new CEO Mario Pilozzi contends, the key to attaining this objective is continuing innovation in all areas of the enterprise (Flavelle). To this end, Wal-Mart Canada has adopted two prime strategic goals for the short term future. These goals lie in the areas of structural expansion and e-business innovation."

Internet E-Business Models, 2005.
This paper looks at differences and similarities between different types of Internet e-business models.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the similarities and differences between the three main types of e-business models prevalent on the Internet today. The writer explains that there are different e-business business models and then relates that these include business-to-business (B2B) like Intel, business-to-consumer (B2C) like Eddie Bauer, and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) like eBay. Each example website is evaluated in terms of target audience, functionality, and capability characteristic and unique to each model. After assessment, recommendations for each example company are provided. The paper also identifies and assesses the differences and similarities between these e-business models.
From the Paper
"Regarding the methods in which these businesses reach their target audience, although Intel offers lengthy and thoroughly detailed product information, it does not offer any products for sale directly from their main website, thus no shopping cart, pre-order, wish list, or order status. Rather, the website provides a tool in which the customer can choose the right product for their needs through a selectable question and answer method, and provides links to suggested online retailers. It stands to reason that these online retailers have an ongoing relationship with Intel as they provide links to their websites. Intel must not have a department in which to do this. These characteristics signify the likelihood that Intel's main focus in on B2B marketing and sales. "
