| Abstract: | The Internet and the emerging global infostructure pose new
opportunities and threats to businesses. This paper looks at the
implications of these emerging low cost communications infrastructures
on business practice and strategy. I examine how firms are using the
Internet to improve innovation, production, sales, and service processes
and I consider the effects of lower communications and coordination
costs on business practices and strategies. Specifically, I propose that
widespread use of the Internet and related technologies will
dramatically reduce transaction costs, leading to a growth in electronic
commerce and productivity. At the same time, the reduction in
transactions and coordination costs will reduce the profit opportunities
of inefficient firms, requiring them to re-focus their strategies. This
paper identifies foci for strategic responses to the above challenges. |
