An e-store developing model for minimizing the impact of procedural and cultural change within an enterprise

Companies are now thinking big and acting small in developing their e-commerce applications. This paper provide an outline of our investigation on the issues in developing e-stores (electronic stores) and identified the crucial constitution in developing a successful e-commerce system while proposing a model for traditional industry to establish its electronic or virtual stores. We analyze the development process between traditional and electronic stores to help business to plan on new process. The contribution of this research is a novel approach embedded in a unique model for establishing e-stores. This model is intended to allow enterprises to establish and manage their e-stores as if they are managing their conventional stores. As such the impact of cultural and logistic changes within an enterprise is minimized. An outline of this framework model is presented.
