Evaluating E-Business Leadership and Its Links to Profitability

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: Electronic business (e-business) had been popularly lauded as "new economy."As results, firms are prompted to invest heavily in e-business related activities such as supplier/procurement and online exchanges.Whether those investments have actually paid off for those firms remain largely unknown.Using the data on the top 100 e-business leaders compiled by InternetWeek, we compare the leaders with their comparable counterparts in terms of profitability and cost savings in both short-run and long-run.We find that while the leaders have superior performance based on most of the profitability measurements, such superiority is not observed when cost measurements are used.
