E-business/e-commerce has contributed to an energetic worldwide boom of competitiveness and soaring stock prices. Therefore, organizations are strategically planning e-bus/e-com initiatives and actively seeking information that can help secure their company’s future.

This comprehensive report describes the relationship between e-bus/e-com planning and an e-risk management program and provides insight into practices in e-risk management.

In order to build an e-risk strategy, most organizations undertake a number of steps:

  • assess enterprise-wide risk tolerance;
  • measure senior executives’ attitudes towards e-com;
  • define the motivators and barriers of e-bus/e-com development;
  • determine legal issues and risks;
  • assess capital and soft investment value of e-bus/e-com;
  • design e-bus/e-com model;
  • control risks at the strategic level; and
  • gain senior management support.
