Sell-side E-commerce strategy (Chapters 8 & 9)
or E-marketing/E-CRM Strategy
• Sell-side e-commerce is a channel strategy
• Objectives for online contribution percentage
should drive our strategy

• Hit our channel leads & sales targets
– Acquisition, Conversion, Retention, Service, Profitability
•
•
•
•
Communicate benefits of using this channel
Prioritise products available through channel
Prioritise audiences targeted through channel
Select partners for this channel

Slide 5.12
Buy-side E-commerce strategy (Chapters 6 & 7)
or E-supply chain management strategy
• Buy-side e-commerce strategy is about maximizing
operational efficiencies while improving customer
service quality
• Operational efficiency KPIs should drive our strategy
• Our buy-side e-commerce strategy defines how we
should:
• Automate internal processes
• Link internal resource management systems with external
purchasing systems
• Prioritize suppliers/partners collaborating using this channel
• Prioritize applications for E-SCM – create a roadmap
• Involves selection of appropriate strategic partners.
Dave Chaffey, E-Business and E-Commerce Management, 3rd Edition © Marketing Insights Ltd 2007
Slide 5.13
E-business strategy
• For me, an IS strategy or change
management strategy (Chapter 10) which
ensures resources are managed effectively to
achieve opportunities from Buy-side and Sellside e-commerce. Also involves deploying IS
to manage administrative internal process and
employee knowledge
• Involves management of information systems
resources (e-business applications,
infrastructure/hardware and people/change/
knowledge management).
