Abstract

Mounting pressures from industrial consumers to meet their constantly changing demands for products has impacted the ever-shortened life cycle in the Ebusiness environment. As more Ebusinesses go online with the support from venture capitalists wanting a return on their investment in short order, can the traditional business/management model support these constraints posed by this business evolution? Balancing quality, costs, delivery, and staying economically viable and profitable may only be a reality for a small few. This exploratory study will build a theoretical framework supported by qualitative and quantitative models to reshape the technology management practices of the future.
