Abstract: The growth of e-business presents companies with both opportunities and challenges. In this environment organisations need timely and sound e-business strategies. This paper, as a part of a research project, offers an e-business strategy model from long-standing traditional economic, accounting, and other related theories. This model can provide quantitative support for strategic decision making in an e-business. A short example of an empirical study is also given to show the potential use of the strategy model.

Keywords: e-business strategy; econometric models; strategic level decision making; electronic business.
