Two Companies' Use of the Internet
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing two companies that heavily participate in Internet commerce, Gateway 2000 and DLJ Direct. Overall, the promise of great success through Internet marketing has not been realized in most areas of sales, but personal computer sales and online brokerage services have been exceptions. Both are wonderfully suited to Internet commerce: Gateway's customers obviously are computer literate; DLJ Direct's customers have come to rely on the ease and rapidity of stock trading using an Internet service. Though the Internet has not reached its full potential as a sales tool, it is heading resolutely in that direction, and to the point that those companies not offering extensive online options to their existing customers may lose those customers to businesses that do.

With the advances in both hardware and software, however, managers are increasingly expected to glean real information from their information technology endeavors, rather than produce simple raw data. And in light of the approaching unforgiving and unslippable deadline of December 31, 1999, managers are also expected to be at least passably literate in operations of their companies' systems.
