“…According to Hwang (2010), the value of online retail sales should exceed NT$358 billion in 2010. Clearly, how to improve the visibility of the goods or the site, and thus increase sales, is becoming increasingly important (Duffy & Salvendy, 1997; Gefen & Straub, 2000; Huang, Chang, & Henderson, 2008; Khalid, 2000; Lee, Chen, & Wu, 2010; Lee, Chen, Chen, & Chen, 2010; Lee, Chiu, Liu, & Chen, 2010). Some studies show that the information display format can also influence the information systems (IS) user's decisions and behaviors (Dou et al, 2010; Kumar & Krishnan, 2004).…”

Over the past few years, more and more Internet visitors are reaching websites through search engines rather than through direct links from another web page. Search engines have come to occupy a prominent position in the online world and are being used to find all kinds of information including things, events, people, and places. The search engine is also coming to play a greater role as a critical link between firms that use the Internet to build their image and find their target customers. How to achieve a high ranking in such search results given certain search words or phrases has become an issue of much interest in Internet marketing. The purpose of the current study is to develop a search engine optimization (SEO) mechanism that can be used by an enterprise to improve the ranking of its website in the search engine results. Social networking sites are included in our exploration of Internet marketing strategy. The proposed mechanism is then applied in the operations of an online ebook store. The website rankings obtained from two well‐known online search engines (Google and Yahoo) are evaluated in efforts to explore a better strategy to ensure higher rankings. The results reveal that a well‐designed SEO strategy, with the incorporation of social networking, can effectively enhance the website's visibility and exposure. Such a strategy will eventually contribute to overall site traffic and improve interaction with customers. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Enterprises need an efficient and low‐cost method to carry out their commercial activities. To this end, information technology and management system, involving electronic data interchange (EDI) and the Internet, can be used to engage in commercial activities (Hallbeck et al, 2010; Khalid, 2000; Podgorski, 2006; McPherson & White, 2006; Motala, Pawlowski, Pawlowski, & Trzcielinski, 2008). Information integration, by EDI, Internet/Web, or the public e‐market between upstream and downstream enterprises would reduce the number of transaction procedures, strengthen competitiveness, and shorten procurement cycle activities.…”

The newly developed marketing channel of electronic commerce (EC) is different from traditional channels and has been promoted by the government for a period of time. In EC, integrated information is not only provided to the enterprises involved but the procedures needed for trade are fewer, promoting environmentally friendly practices. It has, however, caused great variation in the business environment. The e‐invoice plays a vital role in keeping track of cash and business information, and its implementation will help to convert the whole supply chain to electronic form and lower overall operational costs. At present, e‐invoices are only used in certain situations such as for online shopping, for electronic purchases by suppliers, in value‐added networks, and so on. They are not applied in daily life or used by the public. However, a mobile e‐invoice system can be designed to connect the e‐invoice to the Web for the ordinary user. In this era of the mobile interactive Internet use, where individual computers interact with one another, this will help in the application of many kinds of network and real‐life services. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…A related concern is how to motivate customers to participate in Webbased DIYD. This study has revealed a greater enthusiasm amongst Malaysians than Hong Kong subjects; the former driven by the Multimedia Super Corridor project (Khalid, 2000).…”

In this millennium, some manufacturing will shift from mass production to mass customization as manufacturers adopt Web-based technologies to connect them directly with their customers; thereby changing the way companies operate in e-business. This paper highlights a Do-It-Yourself Design (DIYD) approach that enables customers to design their own product on the Web while the manufacturer produces it. DIYD assumes that customers can translate their own requirements to design. A generic set of customer needs is uncovered. These may be mapped on to functional requirements and design parameters using a hierarchical design approach. A case study among Malaysian and Hong Kong participants supported hierarchical design in Web-based DIYD of watches. To this end, Web-based design presents various human factors challenges: the modelling of customer needs, and the design of a usable web system that can realize design options.
