E-Biz: Why most companies fall short |
| It’s called e-business. And companies that want to participate over the next few years in the estimated $5 trillion in transactions up for grabs must not only build an IT infrastructure that supports e-business, but also dramatically change their management philosophies and business cultures.
Sadly, a recent Delphi Group survey of 600 IT and business managers points out that most companies fall short: While 90 percent of those polled have some e-business initiative in place, only 31 percent have successfully made the transition to e-business or have put the necessary management components in place.
