Not what you're looking for?
Conduct web research focusing upon failed e-business/e-commerce strategies and/or e-commerce systems deployments. (Google "failed e-commerce" and you will find many examples). Try to analyze at least three failed deployments or strategies. If you are so "fortunate" as to have experienced an e-commerce strategy failure in your own home work organization, feel free to drill down on this one example. Then, develop a 800 word essay summarizing the primary reasons why these e-business strategies failed. Conduct a root cause analysis of the failure and rely upon any other MBA course work that is relevant to include courses in financial management, organizational behavior, leadership, search engine optimization problems etc. Practice use of the "5-Why's" root cause analysis tool discussed in your text. What common failure points did you see illustrated in the examples you scrutinized? To what extent was the failure due to a flawed strategy per se versus a circumstance where the strategy was adequate but the plan failed due to flawed execution or implementation of the plan. Conclude your essay by taking lessons learned and a list of best practices-what should organizations do to avoid these common failure points?
