A Method for Integrative Planning of E-Business Strategy and Information System

Funded by National Science Foundation of China under grant 70172034, 2002-2004.

Electronic business poses significant challenges for organisations as it affects both how organisations relate to external parties (customers, suppliers, partners, competitors, and markets) – and how they operate internally in managing activities, processes, and systems.

Paying attention to the practice in enterprise we explored the way of organization change when they adopt e-business. We study how the firm resources and capabilities are exploited to execute strategies for improving efficiency and competitive advantage. Our focus in the integration planning is the e-business processes. From interactive Internet market space’s point of view, we confirmed that e-business process is the process combining information flow with business activities flow and resulting from web-based interaction.

We defined information sharing capabilities and collaborative process capabilities as two attributes of the e-business process, and illustrated and proved their major function throughout the strategic planning. Based on these definitions, we studied and presented the architecture of integrated planning for E-Business strategy and IS strategy.

There are three components in our way: 1. the e-business process model and analysis 2.the critical success factors map 3. the evaluation system for e-business strategy planning. The empirical study was based on 105 enterprises. We analyzed and verified the effectiveness of integrated e-business strategy planning on the three traditional applications: e-purchasing, e-ordering and customer relationship management. We have done a series of exploratory researches in the following aspects: the identification of the factors that influence strategy planning, the creation of direct and indirect value, the method and the tools for the analysis of inter-organization e-business process, critical success factors map for the three traditional applications, and the evaluation system for the e-business strategy planning.
