Abstract: In a few years' time we will probably not be using the term ‘e-business’; we will all just talk about ‘business’ again because by then every business will be an ‘e-business’. The challenge — whether your company is large or small, new or old — is to understand just how the Internet can deliver real business benefits and then to make it happen. Basic business fundamentals remain as important as ever, but in every area of business the Internet offers truly amazing opportunities to transform the way you operate. This paper, focusing on some of the differences between B2C and B2B e-business, looks at delivering true benefits using internet-based technology.
