“…While several studies have been published that address the quality issues of an e-business site (Eid et al, 2002;Lee & Kozar, 2006;Lociano et al, 2002;Mohanty et al, 2007;Razi et al, 2004), academic literature has yet to adequately explore the topic of factors that lead to a dot-com firm's success or failure in an empirical manner. The purpose of this study is to investigate specific factors that may lead to e-business success or failure.…”

This article is an empirical study of factors deemed significant in the context of e-business success or failure. Drawing upon the literature from the area of new business in brick-and-mortar (B&M) firms and the current e-business literature, an examination of the factors that lead to the success or failure of new B&M businesses is hypothesized in terms of new e-business companies. In an attempt to understand the marketing and managerial implications for the success or failure of an e-business, a total of eight subfactors composed of three main factors are included in the study. The main factors are product factors, marketing factors, and Web site design and efficiency factors. A national survey is used in addition to qualitative data gathered from in-depth interviews of managers and owners of e-businesses to validate the influence of these factors separating winners from losers. The study implications are discussed.

“…However, Auger (2005), based on a completed survey by 167 small businesses, finds that technical “bells and whistles” on e‐commerce websites do not necessarily lead to better overall performance in the area of sales growth and profit; rather, it is the interactivity—“the amount and quality of two‐way communication” between the customer and the organization—that results in a positive overall performance. Razi et al. (2004) also suggest that often, complex IT infrastructure lead to reduced customer participation.…”

This paper details the results of an empirical study conducted to study the scope and effectiveness of e-commerce deployment in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as perceived by small business owners in the state. The methodology and results of this study may be applicable to several other states. In addition to a comprehensive survey of small businesses, a dozen businesses successful in deploying e-commerce were interviewed at great length. The results showed that main parts of an e-commerce infrastructure included (1) flow of information; (2) organizational image; (3) reaction to customer needs; (4) increased sales; and (5) access to new markets. The major reason for businesses to not engage in e-commerce is their perception that it is not strategically important for their business.Results pertaining to regional parameters, sales tax considerations, human resources infrastructure, and Internet security issues as well as policy recommendations are discussed in the paper.

“…to the variety of economic sectors within a given cluster. Research in Greece so far 2 shows that mono-functional clusters and epicentreseven those considered successful-bear a signifi cant risk of recession after an initial boom (for instance, the rise and fall of dotcoms in the 1990s; see Ramachandran, 2003;Razi et al, 2004). In this respect, they tend to be less sustainable than multifunctional clusters and epicentres (Gospodini, 2006).…”

This paper deals with clusters of post-industrial urban economies and their impacts on the spatial restructuring and the relandscaping of the contemporary inner city. It investigates such impacts by studying recent economic, spatial and landscape transformations of Athens, a large Mediterranean city in the geographical and economic periphery of Europe. The fi rst part of the paper reviews earlier research on clusters of post-industrial urban economies and their spatial impacts, while attempting to present the topic in an international context. The second part focuses on a case study of Athens, Greece. It examines the planned clusters of athletics, culture and leisure that were developed for the 2004 Olympics; and, the spontaneous clusters of both culture, leisure and creative activities, and technology-intensive and knowledge-rich activities and advanced fi nancial intermediary services that have gradually developed in Athens' inner-city areas during the past decade. The paper documents land use shifts and landscape transformations while highlighting the processes of formation of these spontaneous clusters and the urban policies involved; it also discusses urban governance issues in relation to the management of Athens' clusters, both planned and spontaneous. Finally, it draws conclusions about differences in post-industrial trajectories among large cities in the core of Europe and large Mediterranean cities in the developing periphery of Europe.
