Address Specific E-Business Implementation Issues

Based on our experience in past and current E-Business implementations, we have encountered some of the same issues again and again. In this chapter we deal with 25 of the most common problems that you will likely encounter. These are in five areas: technology, management, business activity, vendor, and organization. For each issue, there is a discussion of how the issue arises and what to do about it when it occurs. Unfortunately, for most of these there is no rule of prevention. Some are almost certainly going to hit you. We want you to be prepared and to plan that some of these will occur in your E-Business implementation.
