Leveraging Internet Technologies in B2B Relationships
探讨为何企业以相同方式使用互联网却结果迥异,指出需将B2B情境与互联网技术匹配,才能提升经济绩效、竞争优势和协作效率。

By properly matching the B2B context with Internet technologies, firms can be in a better position not only to achieve significant economic outcomes, but also to attain sustainable competitive advantages, improve coordination and collaboration processes, and decrease channel resistance.
