Abstract

A general understanding of business firms is required in order to be able to develop business and IT strategies. This chapter presents the resource-based theory of the firm, the knowledge-based theory of the firm, and the activity-based theory of the firm. With the widespread adoption of Internet technologies by firms, e-business models have emerged as a significant mechanism for service business. Both business and e-business models represent the commercial implementations of the business strategies chosen by the firms. This chapter, therefore, reviews the firm with a service orientation in terms of its value configuration, business model, and e-business model.
