SHORT TAKES

Abstract

Despite the NASDAQ's nosedive, e‐business remains a primary concern for companies of all types. And of special concern is the fact that retooling for e‐commerce is taking longer than expected. Results of a recent survey by Business Intelligence reveal that almost two‐thirds (64%) of businesses are at least 12 to 18 months away from implementing a technology infrastructure for e‐business, and 21% of companies will not have e‐business capabilities for at least another year. Business Intelligence pointed to cost and a lack of management strategy, direction, and commitment as the main barriers to achieving an effective e‐business infrastructure.
