| Welcome to e-business (a free Smartbase presentation). e-business is one of many Smartbase presentations. Smartbase presentations make "smart" decisions as they study and present information from society's formal and informal knowledgebases. As you get "smart" we encourage you to add to this Smartbase topic or create a new Smartbase topic. Please share your Smartbase contributions with us via e-mail mblinzler@sofnet.com. e-business is about your market's opportunity to generate "value" electronically. "Value" is the product of e-business. This e-business "value" has all of the components of traditional products (cost, margins, marketing, negotiating, competition, sales, collections, CRM...). Your reward for your e-business "value" product will often come in non-traditional forms. It will be unusual to have a line item on your customer invoice for your e-commerce "value" product. Often the traditional components of e-business products will be somewhat abstract. Yet, all of the aspects of traditional product decisions need to be applied to e-business "value" products. Your traditional competition or new virtual competition may be generating "value". Your supplier's or your customer's "value" may be eliminating you in the supply chain.
