The Role of Enterprise Information Systems in Supporting Business Strategy: A case Study of eBay
\nThe business strategy of eBay can be perceived in the company\u2019s mission statement: \u201cTo be the world\u2019s favorite destination for discovering great value and unique selection\u201d [1]. For a company with no physical stores of warehouses, information systems and technology (IST) are the essence of eBay\u2019s success and the foundation of its uniqueness as an online auction website and e-marketplace.
\neBay maintains a leading position always surpassing all its competitors. A great part of this leadership stems from the successful implementation of the company\u2019s business strategy, which is truly leveraged by its IST strategy. Indeed, eBay managed to survive much of the turbulent conditions that forced other similar online companies to shut down. This is due to eBay\u2019s agility, adaptability, and flexibility in realigning its IST strategy and adjusting its organizational structure to continuously support its business strategy.
\nEnterprise IST strategies can support a company\u2019s business strategy in many ways. Through the proper utilization of the company\u2019s IST tools the company is able, for instance, to correctly realize its business objectives, innovate new business models, products, or services, enhance existing products or services, ensure the full optimization of its available resources and assets, increase customer engagement with the company, and augment the levels of trust and commitment from its employees.
