Abstract

This research addresses how Chinese companies develop strategies that support e-business enabled value creation. Nine in-depth cases studies are undertaken across three distinct industries (housing development, manufacturing, and B2C retail) using an integrated strategy framework that combines value chain theory with the resource-based view (RBV). The findings highlight some of the key characteristics of e-business strategy formulation, as well as how e-business value creation features differently between ‘Internet pragmatists’ and ‘Internet pioneers’.
