| Abstract | Electronic Business (e-Business) is a challenging practice due to the many aspects it involves. Many organizations have adopted e-Business to respond to several business drivers. The rapid changes in the political, economic and technical fields are creating new business environments, in which e-Business is considered a normal practice. A variety of business threats are facing organizations that do not adopt e-Business early enough. Our emphasis is on the e-Commerce field and we perceive e-Business as the broadest form of e-Commerce. This paper attempts to model the business environment and evaluate its competitive characteristics by measuring technology’s necessity and business threats. The paper adopted a qualitative measurement of the position of an organization with respect to its adoption of e-Business. |
