GLOBAL COMPANY USE OF E-BUSINESS
Survey of 80 companies with annual revenue of $1 billion or more by PricewaterhouseCoopers
E-business accounts for less than 5% of the revenue for 79% of these companies. Only 28% are able to process transactions on line and only 40% handle orders electronically. Sixty percent do not yet have extranets linking operations with key suppliers and/or financial partners and less than half have any methods in place to assess e-business performance. A quarter of the group has little beyond brochures for their online business. Only 17% said they regard themselves as innovative in e-business.
