How does e-business strategy differ from traditional business strategy?
• In the one-to-many hierarchical information flow that characterized the Industrial Age, information flowed one way, from the producer to the consumers. The Internet has changed this in three important ways.– the Internet allows consumers to talk to consumers– consumers can find and access information much
easier than before– enables the information flow to be reversed so
customer-centric companies can pull information from consumers to improve and customize products

Michael Porter on the Internet
• ‘The key question is not whether to deploy Internet technology – companies have no choice if they want to stay competitive – but how to deploy it.’
Porter, M. (2001) Strategy and the Internet, Harvard Business Review, March 2001, 62–78.
