Abstract:As organisations move further into the e-business era they face new opportunities and challenges in developing their business to accommodate this evolving environment. Of considerable importance is the development of IST and e-business strategies. Instead of just focusing on the phenomenon of the virtual world this research takes a wider perspective of strategy development by exploring the themes from both a business and IST strategy perspective, whilst incorporating key areas of the e-business domain. The experiences discussed in the paper illustrate the need for direction and flexibility; the importance of formal planning and an evolving relationship between information technology and business.
