A review of the relationship between e-business models and their performance reveals the disparities in enhancing customer service, growth of economic return and improving overall corporate image.
Unraveling the affecting factors of application of e-commerce models and differences between their performances would help the enterprises tailor their applications to their conditions to achieve an optimized organizational performance.
