Abstract

Firms need to deliver their products. In the Net Economy, delivery often has to leave the Net and be provided through traditional means. The firm’s delivery mechanism influences the design of the firm’s Net presence. This chapter examines the pursuit of e-entrepreneurial ventures by existing businesses with specific attention on the architecture of Web portals and the delivery mechanisms of products. Additionally, outlined are features and facets of Web portals necessary to sell and deliver mark-up based and production based products and services in the B2C sector of the Net Economy. Specifically, three case studies are examined: a catalog sales/brick-and-mortar business, a financial service institution, and a travel provider.
