Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Due to the enormous analyst projections on worldwide B2B e-commerce, and additionally forced by the low barriers to entry, races to implement e-marketplaces have started since everyone was keen to get a share out of this large opportunity. However, as the recent e-marketplace shake-out demonstrated, many e-market makers have often concentrated on Internet Technology, forgetting that once it comes down to its base, e-business it not about bytes, but still about pure business. Often, the first-movers business models grounded on great ideas, but were not sustainable. e-Marketplaces base on complex business models that present key strategic issues which must be addressed prior to the creation and implementation of any technology infrastructure. With the help of the 10 Strategic Design Considerations Guideline for the creation of a B2B e-marketplace business model, the reader firms that are considering becoming e-market makers, and firms interested in participating in an e-marketplace as buyer, seller or service provider- should be able to formulate a complete e-market strategy for an e-marketplace initiative. The 10 key strategic steps to consider on the way to create the Business Model Design are as follows: 1. Market and Stakeholder Analysis: Which are the quantitative and qualitative attributes of the market: market segmentation, fragmentation of the sell-and buy-side, existing and competing industry channels, complexity of product/ process? Who are the buyers and sellers, service providers, transaction influencers and competing marketplaces? Who are the key stakeholders that are needed to gain critical mass for the marketplace? 2. e-Marketplace Models: What forms of eMarketplaces do exist? Which trend of model can be identified? Should the e-marketplace be proprietary or open? Which roles does an e-marketplace take? 3. Value Proposition: What does the marketplace offer the key players? How will this value proposition gain differentiation in the market? What value proposition will attract and retain those players? How will this value proposition evolve over time? 4. Key Parameters & Value-Added Services: Which technology capabilities and key functions are required to fulfill the offering and maintain the market? 5. Functional Architecture Model: How does the logical construct of the functional requirements look like? What is actually behind the platform? 6. Pricing Mechanism: How is price determined for items being [...]

Book excerpt: The spread of the Internet into all areas of business activities has put a particular focus on business models. The digitalization of business processes is the driver of changes in company strategies and management practices alike. This textbook provides a structured and conceptual approach, allowing students and other readers to understand the commonalities and specifics of the respective business models. The book begins with an overview of the business model concept in general by presenting the development of business models, analyzing definitions of business models and discussing the significance of the success of business model management. In turn, Chapter 2 offers insights into and explanations of the business model concept and provides the underlying approaches and ideas behind business models. Building on these foundations, Chapter 3 outlines the fundamental aspects of the digital economy. In the following chapters the book examines various core models in the business to consumer (B2C) context. The chapters follow a 4-C approach that divides the digital B2C businesses into models focusing on content, commerce, context and connection. Each chapter describes one of the four models and provides information on the respective business model types, the value chain, core assets and competencies as well as a case study. Based on the example of Google, Chapter 8 merges these approaches and describes the development of a hybrid digital business model. Chapter 9 is dedicated to business-to-business (B2B) digital business models. It shows how companies focus on business solutions such as online provision of sourcing, sales, supportive collaboration and broker services. Chapter 10 shares insight into the innovation aspect of digital business models, presenting structures and processes of digital business model innovation.

Download or read book Data Warehousing And Business Intelligence For e Commerce written by Alan R. Simon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-23 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You go online to buy a digital camera. Soon, you realize you've bought a more expensive camera than intended, along with extra batteries, charger, and graphics software-all at the prompting of the retailer. Happy with your purchases? The retailer certainly is, and if you are too, you both can be said to be the beneficiaries of "customer intimacy" achieved through the transformation of data collected during this visit or stored from previous visits into real business intelligence that can be exercised in real time. Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence for e-Commerce is a practical exploration of the technological innovations through which traditional data warehousing is brought to bear on this and other less modest e-commerce applications, such as those at work in B2B, G2C, B2G, and B2E models. The authors examine the core technologies and commercial products in use today, providing a nuts-and-bolts understanding of how you can deploy customer and product data in ways that meet the unique requirements of the online marketplace-particularly if you are part of a brick-and-mortar company with specific online aspirations. In so doing, they build a powerful case for investment in and aggressive development of these approaches, which are likely to separate winners from losers as e-commerce grows and matures.* Includes the latest from successful data warehousing consultants whose work has encouraged the field's new focus on e-commerce.* Presents information that is written for both consultants and practitioners in companies of all sizes.* Emphasizes the special needs and opportunities of traditional brick-and-mortar businesses that are going online or participating in B2B supply chains or e-marketplaces.* Explains how long-standing assumptions about data warehousing have to be rethought in light of emerging business models that depend on customer intimacy.* Provides advice on maintaining data quality and integrity in environments marked by extensive customer self-input.* Advocates careful planning that will help both old economy and new economy companies develop long-lived and successful e-commerce strategies.* Focuses on data warehousing for emerging e-commerce areas such as e-government and B2E environments.

Download or read book The Economics of E Commerce written by Nir Vulkan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the recent misfortunes of many dotcoms, e-commerce will have major and lasting effects on economic activity. But the rise and fall in the valuations of the first wave of e-commerce companies show that vague promises of distant profits are insufficient. Only business models based on sound economic propositions will survive. This book provides professionals, investors, and MBA students the tools they need to evaluate the wide range of actual and potential e-commerce businesses at the microeconomic level. It demonstrates how these tools can be used to assess a variety of existing applications. Advances in web-based technology--particularly automation and delegation technologies such as smart agents, shopping bots, and bidding elves--support the further growth of e-commerce. In addition to enabling consumers to conduct automated comparisons and sellers to access visitors' background information in real time, such software programs can make decisions for individuals, negotiate with other programs, and participate in online markets. Much of e-commerce's economic value arises from this kind of automation, which not only reduces operating costs but adds value by generating new market interactions. This text teaches how to analyze the added value of such applications, considering consumer behavior, pricing strategies, incentives, and other critical factors. It discusses added value in several e-commerce arenas: online shopping, business-to-business e-commerce, application design, online negotiation (one-to-one trading), online auctions (one-to-many trading), and many-to-many electronic exchanges. Combining insights from several years of microeconomic research as well as from game theory and computer science, it stresses the importance of economic engineering in application design as well as the need for business models to take into account the "total game." As the only serious treatment of the microeconomics of e-commerce, this book should be read by anyone seeking e-commerce solutions or planning to work in the field.
