E-Business models : A Proposed Framework

This paper evaluates and draws thematic priorities from current IST projects and relevant research for implementing successful business models. These thematic priorities will be described in more detail and will be used to identify “efactors”, that is, factors of broad and sustainable adoption of e-business models. The paper is based on current work of the E-Factors project which aims to consolidate current research and empirical experience on the use of e-business models in a framework that takes into account technical, economical, social and individual issues and can therefore contribute to European policy and practice.
