The impact of the Internet has moved well beyond creating a simple "web presence" or developing an intranet. There are major changes sweeping through both enterprise business process and I/T.  The arrival of e-business is rewriting the very fundamentals of business:  redefining relationships with customers and suppliers, creating new and exciting business models, even redrawing the boundaries
between industries. The question today is no longer when this will happen, it is centered on how big?, how fast?, impact? and consequences for strategy?  The opportunity is so tremendous that CEOs must handle the e-business initiative personally and thinking how to weave the power of e-business into organizations.   This talk will cover on the challenge, complexity, and evolving techniques of e-business.
