London Since the First Economist Conferences e-business event in 1998, the growth and impact of the Internet have outstripped even the most bullish forecasts. The question for businesses now is not whether to develop an e-business strategy, but how. Affecting almost every sector of business and industry - e-business is without doubt the single most significant issue facing companies today. At a stroke, the Internet has removed boundaries between countries, regions, companies, sectors and perhaps most importantly, between organisations and their customers. Faced with the new reality of doing business in this globalised cyber-economy, many companies have the drive to succeed but lack the experience or expertise to actually make it happen. Helping you develop your e-business strategy To provide a solid foundation for your e-business strategy development, this conference will examine and discuss the critical e-business issues - from a strategic and non-technical standpoint. The speakers understand how to make e-business work at a practical, "on the ground" level. Drawn from a wide range of businesses across Europe, the speakers will strip away the hype to tell you what you need to focus on and how to ensure that you benefit from the very real competitive advantages which e-business makes possible. Key issues Competition in the new Internet economy - how to make sure you end up a winner The retailing revolution - buyer-driven transactions versus fixed prices online Customer relationship management in the electronic age - making your marketing smarter Supply chain management - matching customer expectations in the digital environment Integrating e-business ventures with overall corporate strategy - a blueprint for success Information intermediaries - their role and impact on online pricing The rules of the game - regulation and security issues for e-business What you will learn To ensure the conference delivers as much useful business intelligence as possible, e-business case studies and workshops complement the plenary sessions, which focus on the core strategic e-business issues. The case studies will examine a range of issues from using extranets for business-to-business e-commerce; to building interactive TV into your e-business model. Workshops will look at customer relationship management, Internet banking and Internet-based procurement.
