Business: To automate business transactions and work flows.

Service: To cut service costs while improving the quality of goods/services and increasing the speed of service delivery.

On-Line: To provide the capability of buying/selling products and information over the internet.

What is E-commerce

• Today E- commerce commonly relates to the subset of transactions conducted via computers connected to each other.

• I most cases the computers are connected via the Internet.

• But what amounts to a computer?– Hand held organisers– Mobile phones– Household devices

• What about a refrigerator that can sense it is running out of milk? It could be programmed to place an order at the local shop, pay for the order electronically, and organise its delivery at a specified time.

• 1 add value• 2 focus on a niche …then expand• 3 maintain flexibility• 4 segment geographically• 5 get the technology right• 6 manage critical perceptions• 7 provide exceptional customer service• 8 ensure website can be found • 9 understand internet culture

Huff, Wade, Parent, Schneberger &Newson 2000

20

Critical Success Factorsfor

Adding Value

– Convenience– Disintermediation– Re-intermediation– Price– Choice– QUALITY !!!!

21

Critical Success Factors – Focus on a Niche and Then Expand

• Don’t offer an average product and hope to compete successfully with all the others.

• Barriers to entry into internet based businesses are low.• A niche can be a starting point for growth.

22

Benefits of EC

• Reduces transaction times;

• Improves customer service (improves response times);

• Reduces costs (sales, marketing, purchasing);

• Improves forecasting (accuracy & currency of data);

• Reduces inventory;• Lower production

cycles;• Competitive

advantage.

23

EC cost savings

• General Electric saved $US240,000 a year in printing costs.

• British Telecom made a 5:1 return on its investment.

• Hewlett Packard estimates it will reduce administrative costs by $US 200 million.

First there was EDI

• In the 1970s, the first form of electronic commerce was known as EDI.

• EDI can be defined as the transfer of structured documents between computers.

• EDI is well established in the supply arena.• The structure of EDI documents is defined by

two standards (ANSI X12 or UN EDIFACT).• Many industries have developed their own

specific standards.

What is Electronic Data Interchange

A FAX message to announce the arrival of

a container to Cape Town port

A truck with a 40 ft. container loaded with 40 pallets of

premium beer in bottles is on its way to your terminal.

It will arrive there around noon. The container has to be loaded for New York on the vessel “Queen Beatrix” of Holland Lines, scheduled to depart from Cape Town on Wednesday August 14th. The container number is HOLI673625 and the number of the seal on the back door is 344523. The license plate of the truck is JB-40-JZ, and it is owned by Wijngaarden trucking.

Key features of EDI

• The use of an electronic transmission medium

• The use of structured and formatted messages

based on agreed standards

• Relatively fast delivery from sender to receiver

• Direct processing by receiver’s application

software, usually resulting in some response to

the sending party

36

EDI benefits

• Reduced re-keying of redundant information• Reduced manual reconciliation of different documents• Reduced sorting, distributing, and filling of documents• Reduced correction of errors caused by incorrect data

entry• Reduced document mailing or telephoning of

information• Reduced transmission time

37

Characteristics of EDI

• EDI is interorganizational in nature• EDI links organizations by electronic means• EDI is innovative, abstract and complex• EDI relies on a mature and reliable

telecommunication infrastructure• EDI standards are essential• EDI has large network externalities• EDI implementations are often based on third

party operated VANs

EDI

38

EDI is interorganizational in nature

• At least two organizations must agree to exchange data between their independent computerized systems– High number and high frequency of

transactions– Standard product or service– Long term relationships– Time critical

39

EDI links organizations by electronic means• The organization’s boundary is depleted

and information about its interior is exposed to trade partners

• The participating organizations must commit resources to establish and maintain a link, therefore EDI creates a high degree of interdependence between the adopting organizations.

40

EDI is innovative, abstract and complex• Innovative and learning intensive

– Use new technology to solve well known problems

• Stand alone PC with modem (Manual EDI)• Automatic data mapping

– Use well known technology to solve new problems

• Existing systems modified• New systems developed

41

EDI is innovative, abstract and complex

• Abstract– Hard to measure

• The business value of telephones• The business value of mail service

• Mature organization

43

EDI relies on a mature and reliable telecommunication infrastructure

• The telecommunication infrastructure is not under the control of the organization– Illegal to send and receive data– Power or network failures– Security breaches– Other regulations

44

EDI standards are essential

• Standards are the key• Standards sets the structure and syntax of an

EDI message. It should also denote the interpretation

• Several standards coexists– Older standards

• UN/EDIFACT (UN promoted)• EANCOM (EDIFACT subset tailor made for retail)• ANSI X.12 (the US)

– More recent standards• XML• ebXML

• Value added network provides different services to subscribers

• Time Independence• Protocol Independence• Time stamping• Collection of fees• Connection to other networks• Privacy, Security and Reliability• Message Storage and Logging• Message Validation:• Software and Consultancy

52

Coding

EAN/UPC codes• Standard codes for grocery and general retail:

– Coded as Bar Codes on products– Used in order processing / stock control– Used in EDI messages.

• EAN European Article Number13 digit – 2 digit country code

• UPC Universal Product Code (American)12 digit – 1 digit country code

• Administered by National Article Numbering Associations (ANA). See www.ean.be

53

EDI agreements

• Legal (and related) aspects:– The point in its transmission and processing at which

a message will be deemed to be legally binding– The timescale for processing EDI massages.– The time that message will be retained.– The procedure for settling any disputes.– The legal jurisdiction for settling disputes.

• Technical aspects– The coding systems for identifying entities.– The EDI standard that is to be employed.– The network that is to be used.

54

EDI Implementation

• A big difference between electronic transactions and their paper equivalents is that with electronic transactions there is no paperwork to fall back on should anything go wrong - all incoming transactions need to be secured

• Frequency of operation needs to meet the requirements of the business cycle – it can be daily, hourly or as required

Source: E-Commerce ©David Whiteley/McGraw-Hill, 2000

55

Next step!

• EDI is a learning intensive, complex, and networked technology that is highly dependent on standards, has high network externalities and relays on a mature supporting infrastructure both internally and externally.

• Next how may EDI be implemented to support various business functions internally as well as externally?

69

EDI patterns

• Hubs and Spokes– The Hub: the major manufacturer or retailer– Spokes: suppliers to the hub.

• EDI can be a condition of trade:‘Therefore, when the Hub says, “thou shall trade electronically”, the suppliers have little option but to reply “anything you say, Sir”.’

• Arrangement can become problematic for a supplier serving several hubs – each with differing requirements

Moving towards E-Business

• E-Commerce is the selling/buying of goods & services over a network (Fellenstein et al, 2000; 30).

• While E-Business is the use of networks to transmit & receive information in a variety of media (Fellenstein et al, 2000; 33).

75

The 3 pillars of EC

1. Information

2. Relationships

3. Transactions

76

Electronic Information

The web is a virtual repository of documents:

• The key is how to find information;

• Design sites to ensure users find information

• Provide up to date information.

77

Electronic Relationships

Building a site is not a guarantee for business.

• Return patronage;

• Form partnerships with other organisations;

78

Electronic Transactions

Not just brochureware:• EC involves transactions (eg. shopping

carts);• Need to integrate and change business

processes;• Deal with the perception of security and

privacy risks.

Adapted from Peter Fingar, 1998 cited in Greenstein. Marilyn, and Feinman. Todd. M (2000) Electronic Commerce: Security, Risk Management and Control,

New York, McGraw Hill, p18.

79

Difference between EC & EB

• At many EC sites customers are interacting with a web site team, not sales staff.

• Customer loyalty is promoted by interaction with trained and appropriate staff.

• A true e-business allows e-customers to interact with all staff.– The web site is an extension to your business.

• EB is customer, rather than management driven.

Siegel. David (2000) Futurize Your Enterprise, Canada, John Wiley & Sons.Siegel. David (2000) Futurize Your Enterprise, Canada, John Wiley & Sons.

80

E-business

• Is an attitude shift.• Involves personalisation.• Focuses on the customer.• Involves getting

customers involved in one aspect of the service and then extending:– eg. at marriott.com you can

order airline tickets online. The next step is to offer other travel arrangements.

• Lines of communication improve.– Bottlenecks will develop,

but then will disappear.

• Every one is involved, not just the web team/marketing.– Management support.

• Automate business processes.

Siegel. David (2000) Futurize Your Enterprise, Canada, John Wiley & Sons.Siegel. David (2000) Futurize Your Enterprise, Canada, John Wiley & Sons.

81

E-Enterprise

• An organisation that utilises traditional bricks and mortar operations with electronic commerce strategies.

• Why? The need to respond to customer demands in real time.

• Business driven technology.

• Holistic, not fragmented approach.

Where are we doing e-business?

1. Not just Web sites (brochureware);

2. Web based e-commerce (transactions);

3. Customer Relation Management s/ware (can be included in package by ASPs);

4. Intranets;

5. Extranets;

6. Business to business supply chain sites;

7. Web based tools for custom product configuration (eg. IMCO);

8. Enterprise portal (supporting business decisions on an Intranet/Extranet);

9. EDI;10. Call centre integration.

87

Tips from the experts

• Research local and overseas online strategies.– This process is continuous.– Exemplary managers keep track of their

industry, competitors, customer support & tracking (Larson, 1999).

• Examine business processes;• Develop EC strategies;

88

Tips from the experts (cont.)

• Appoint an exclusive EC manager (too many add this responsibility to someone’s long list of tasks);

• Set timelines and incentives;• Strengthen key partnerships;• Remembers it’s a continuous process;

David. Natasha (1999) “Planning, Strategy vital to beat E-Business Minefield”, December 3, Computerworld, page 6.

89

Tips from the experts (cont.)

• EC is multi-disciplinary – you need experts from all disciplines;

• The average lifecycle for a site is 90 to 100 days (Larson, 1999).

90

New Businesses - Intermediaries

• Web based brokers or intermediaries attempt to link customers to third parties.– E-loan matches consumer profiles to

mortgage products.– InsWeb provides customers with insurance

quotes.– Auto-by-Tel and Microsoft Car Point provide

information on cars/dealers (Larson, 1999).

91

New businesses – Intermediaries (cont.)

• Comparison sites are also intermediaries.

• These sites use robots to scan sites and rank prices/products.

92

Survive or perish?

• If you do not move onto the Internet, you will perish

• (Hogan, Vice President of General Motors).

• The Internet is challenging every traditional business model.

93

E-Commerce Applications

94

E-Commerce Applications

• Retail and Wholesale• Manufacturing• Marketing• Investment and Finance• Auctions

95

Retail and Wholesale

• Electronic retailing - the direct sale from business to consumer through electronic storefronts

• Cybermall - a single Web site that offers many products and services at one Internet location
