Abstract

E-business is a significant disruptive force to organizations. In addition to changing the ways organizations compete, and the formulation of new business models and products, the adoption of E-business forces significant changes to the organizations themselves. This paper describes the fundamental characteristics of E-business that impact organizations and focuses on four major ways in which organizations are impacted: the way organizations are managed and controlled, the way they are designed; technology transfer management; and the nature of work itself.
