- E-business maturity: constraints associated with their evolutionPublication . Morais, Elisabete Paulo; Pires, José Adriano; Gonçalves, Ramiro ManuelTo compete effectively in the e-business world, an organization must structurally transform its internal foundation. This structural change requires an organization to develop an innovative e-business strategy, focusing on speed to market and breakthrough execution. Despite the recognition and care that in recent years has been dedicated to e-business, there remains a need for continuing research efforts that seek to better understand constraints on the evolution of an organization to a state that can take advantage of e-business possibilities. There is a special need for this when considering small and medium enterprises, or businesses in developing countries. To minimize risk exposure from e-business initiatives, it is imperative for an organization to identify potential constraints on e-business evolution. In this setting,we develop a research model that involves e-business constraints and e-business maturity. We classify the constraints into the categories of environment constraints, organizational constraints, and technological constraints. Our results indicate that there are constraints that can be more or less problematic, depending on the stage of maturity. The results are also quite different in large organizations versus Small and Medium Enterprises.
- Adequabilidade dos modelos de maturidade do negócio electrónico à economia digitalPublication . Morais, Elisabete Paulo; Pires, José Adriano; Gonçalves, Ramiro ManuelAs empresas hoje vivem num contexto de ciclos económicos em que existe uma competitividade crescente e ciclos de vida mais curtos para os produtos e serviços, exigindo como tal um conhecimento profundo dos clientes e fornecedores. O negócio electrónico é uma forma de estruturar todos os processos da organização suportada em Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) que permitem uma ligação directa com os clientes, parceiros do negócio, colaboradores e a sua própria gestão. Este artigo pretende ser uma reflexão sobre se os modelos de maturidade do negócio electrónico estarão adequados à nova realidade do negócio electrónico, no qual as redes sociais o estão a transformar num “negócio social”.
