RESEARCH OF INNOVATIVE CHANGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF E-BUSINESS

The article conducts a scientific study of existing approaches to the interpretation of the term "e-business" and related concepts of "e-commerce", "e-commerce". Clarification of these concepts from the standpoint of the current state of development of e-business in the world as a whole and in Ukraine in particular is proposed. It is proved that e-business is defined as a type of special entrepreneurship, which is carried out with the use of information technologies for the effective transformation of commercial relations of this enterprise with its stakeholders in order to improve the efficiency of business activities and the development of business processes of various types. The modern structure of e-business has been formed, which includes components characteristic of today, each of which to a certain extent reproduces certain stages of e-business development. Three main stages of evolution of e-business development and its technologies have been identified and substantiated. At the first stage of enterprise e-business development, it is fully integrated with e-commerce, thereby providing an opportunity for interactive interaction with consumers. In the second stage of its development, e-business integrates its web servers and internal business systems to implement e-commerce services and services. In the e-business systems of the third stage of development, the focus shifts from the supplier to the consumer. The proposed structure of stages of development of e-business from the moment of its inception to the present fully reproduces the evolution of this type of business.

Research on the Model Construction and Analysis of the Enterprise E-commerce Service Capability

Abstract The customer-oriented and situational nature of e-commerce requires companies to build up service capabilities. However, few scholars have studied this capability systematically. Most scholars see it as a ‘black box’ and give different 'black box' elements depending on the purpose of the study. So, in the context of e-commerce, what should a company's service capabilities include? How are they formed? What impact do they have on a firm's competitive advantage? How can service capabilities be established and improved? Based on the above background and questions, this paper investigates the service capabilities of e-commerce platforms by applying customer value theory in conjunction with the background characteristics of e-commerce transactions. Through case studies, a conceptual model of e-commerce service capability is proposed and its formation mechanism is studied. On this basis, the paper investigates how to measure e-commerce service capability. The aim is to provide theoretical guidance for enterprises' capability planning on e-commerce platforms and to facilitate the transformation from ‘commodity management’ to ‘capability management’. A combination of probability sampling and non-probability sampling was used to select the sample by distributing questionnaires to manufacturing companies in Taizhou, Hangzhou and Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. For the mail survey, this study uses a snowball method to select the sample. This paper constructs service capability measurement indexes for e-commerce enterprises based on customer's perception of the transaction process, and uses dynamic factor analysis method to analyze enterprises' e-commerce strategic capability, e-commerce management capability and e-commerce technical resources, thus bringing constructive suggestions for the improvement of e-commerce service capability. The findings show that these three competencies are key components of e-business capabilities and together determine the establishment, cultivation and maintenance of an enterprise's e-business capabilities. Enterprises need to focus on these three areas and continuously modify and improve them to ultimately acquire e-business service capabilities.

Strategic Positioning and the Performance of E-Businesses in Kenya

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of strategic positioning on the performance of e-commerce firms in Kenya. The study was grounded on the competitive advantage theory and was guided by a positivist philosophical perspective. The study was delimited to the use of quantitative research methods. The research sample consisted of 112 e-business enterprises that were registered in Nairobi. The focal point of the analysis was the 336 employees who held management-level positions within these companies. The study employed a structured questionnaire as a means of gathering data from participants. The study employed the census sampling method, encompassing all 112 e-business enterprises registered in Nairobi. The data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to generate means and standard deviations, while regression analysis was utilized in the study to test the hypothesis. The results of the study indicate that strategic positioning has a significant influence on the performance of e-businesses in Nairobi, Kenya (β = 0.616, p < 0.05). The study implication is that the strategic positioning constructs of differentiation and pricing are essential to enable e-businesses to attain their performance objectives. Consequently, it is recommended that e-commerce executives implement features on their platforms that facilitate the comparison of product prices by customers. Additionally, it is suggested that e-businesses should offer a variety of products at discounted and premium prices, which come with enhanced features and improved services.

Accountancy for E-Business Enterprises Based on Cyber Security

E-businesses (EBEs) may commit legal offenses due to perpetrating cybercrime while doing the commercial activity. According to the findings, various obstacles might deter cybercrime throughout accounting. The study examined the present laws for accounting policy elements and determined those aspects that should be included in the administrative document for e-business enterprise accounting policies. E-businesses must avoid cyber-crime (CC), which has a detrimental influence on the company's brand and diminishes client loyalty to ensure their success. According to the study's findings, the use of information and control functions of accounting can help prevent cyber-crime in the bookkeeping system by increasing the content of individual internal rules. The authors intended to make online payments for EBE-CC as safe, easy, and fast as possible. However, the internet is known for making its users feel anonymous. E-commerce (EC) transactions are vulnerable to cybercrime, resulting in considerable money and personal information losses.

Global changes that take place in the external and internal environment are characterized by high dynamism, unpredictability and uncertainty, which is why it is important to solve the problem of improving the innovation management system in e-business. Existing e-business management systems are becoming ineffective, so e-business enterprises are facing a rather difficult period, that is, the stage of attracting innovations. An effective response of the e-business management system, with the involvement of innovations, should play an important role in increasing competitive advantages and maintaining the existing position of the enterprise in the market. Building an effective e-business innovation management system is able to timely adapt the enterprise to changes that occur in the environment of its functioning. A special role in this is played by identifying the factors that can most affect the financial and economic activities of the enterprise in the field of e-business. Successful identification of factors influencing the innovation management system will be the key to sustainable enterprise development. The article analyzes the theoretical material on the classification of factors influencing the innovation management system, as well as identifies the classification criteria by which these factors are determined. According to the conducted research, based on empirical data from e-business enterprises, the factors that have an impact on the innovation management system of an enterprise in the coordinate system of its organizational development have been identified. The identified factors are of practical importance only when they can be used by managers of e-business enterprises when making and implementing innovative decisions. It is proposed to use the method of expert assessments to evaluate these factors for their relative importance. The results obtained, and especially the gradation of these factors by the level of relative importance, are important management information at the stages of making decisions on the management of innovations in e-business enterprises, in particular when choosing management decisions.

To ensure the development of e-business enterprises, it is important to obtain reliable and complete information, which directly touches on aspects of the importance of factors that affect the quality, efficiency and, in general, the process of managerial decisions-making, and also concerns issues, related to the effective management of the financial-economic activities of the enterprise in conditions of uncertainty and risk. In the article attempts to theoretically substantiate the concept of «cluster», and accordingly, it is proved that there is no single concept. It is noted that clusters become an innovative mechanism of inter-organizational contacts, which allows establishing efficient and effective cooperation, agreeing business plans of business structures (ebusiness enterprises) that carry out various types of economic activity in today's conditions. Stages and methods of clustering factors that influence managerial decisions-making of e-business enterprises are presented. It has been proved that for more accurate and efficient obtaining of results and decisions, it is necessary to record the initial data in the form of a matrix of observations. The construction of the matrix takes place with the introduction of all factors that affect the adoption of high-quality and effective managerial decisions-making, especially in conditions of uncertainty and risk regarding the achievement of the goals of the financial-economic activity of e-business enterprises. The constructed clusters of factors influencing the adoption of managerial decisionsmaking to achieve the goals of effective financial-economic activity of an ebusiness enterprise require permanent monitoring for their clarification and supplementation, especially during periods of transition of economic development from one phase to another, as well as as a result of the processes of reorganization and restructuring of enterprises.

Enterprise potential management is an important indicator of the successful activity of the enterprise in the market and gaining competitive advantages over potential competitors. Preserving and increasing the level of enterprise potential should be carried out on the basis of scientific substantiation when using the method of assessing this level. Conducting an effective assessment of e-business enterprise potential management requires a more detailed and objective definition of criteria and management methods. The effectiveness of management decisions is influenced by a number of principles, namely: economic feasibility, informativeness, prospects. It is substantiated that the economic efficiency of managing the potential of an e-business enterprise should be assessed by comparing the indicators of financial and economic activity and the costs associated with the introduction of innovative management solutions. It is proved that the set of methods for assessing the economic potential of an enterprise is divided into two groups: express diagnostics and fundamental diagnostics. More and more managers of e-business enterprises use the method of comparing integral indicators, which is able to reflect the stability of the enterprise under external and internal changes.

A dynamic routing optimization problem considering joint delivery of passengers and parcels

With the rapid development of e-commerce, last-mile delivery optimization is important for reduction in logistics cost of e-business enterprises. However, the complex road network structure in various cities makes the last-mile delivery more difficult, which shows high research value. To this end, this paper proposes a special kind of share-a-ride problem (SARP), which uses online car-hailing as a carrier to transport passengers to the distribution centre and courier points to pick up and deliver parcels. The dynamics of the problem is described by designing the key points to update the delivery information; by using an improved genetic algorithm (GA), the problem is solved to realize the goal of minimizing the total cost of three participants (i.e. drivers, passengers and courier companies) and the time penalty costs. Eventually, through simulation example and comparison tests based on three sets of data of different scales, the economic applicability of the problem and the effectiveness of the algorithm are validated.

Quality Decision-Making Behavior of Bodies Participating in the Agri-Foods E-Supply Chain

The quality of agri-foods in e-supply chains confronts more threats than that in the traditional agri-food supply chain. However, most of the existing studies focusing on the quality problems of fresh agri-products are mainly cases studies and statistical analyses, and they do not take into account the farmers’ willingness to comply with safe agri-food supply procedures. To solve the supply quality problems of fresh agri-foods and help participators make a better choice, the decision-making behavior on the supply quality of agri-foods in the e-supply chain was deeply studied in this paper using game theory. Some factors related to the decision behavior of the supply chain were analyzed, including the supervision intension of the government, the rights protection consciousness of consumers, and the intensity of punishment for poor-quality agri-foods. These factors have an important influence on the farmers’ willingness to provide high-quality products and e-business’ probability of inspection. Compared with three different decision models of agri-food e-supply chains, the results show that the decentralized decision model is better than the centralized model from the view of quality protection. The behavior of members of the supply chain is as follows: the farmers’ willingness to supply high-quality agri-foods increases with the increase in the consumers’ consciousness of their rights and the government’s supervision intensity. The “experience deviation” phenomenon also occurs when a new e-business makes a decision about its quality inspection behavior in this e-supply chain where the quality information is traceable. As such, e-business enterprises should reduce their quality inspection behavior based on the increase in the government’s supervision intensity. This happens to be opposite to the traditional experience where quality information is not traceable. This study not only extends the research framework of the novel electronic supply chain, but also provides a certain reference for the subsequent research and e-business practices of fresh produce in developing countries.

Introduction of e-commerce at enterprises as a driver of digital economy

It is proved that the introduction of electronic commerce is an effective tool to improve enterprises’ efficiency and the ability to access global markets. The advantages and disadvantages of using e-commerce for the subjects of economic relations: consumers, enterprises, and the state have been analyzed. The goal of the work is the development of a theoretical and methodological framework, substantiation of the directions of functioning and regulation of e-business enterprises. Statistical evaluation of e-commerce development has been used as the main research method. Peculiarities of the use of acquiring as a service of technological information services for settlements on transactions made using electronic means of payment in a payment system have been considered. Based on the results of the study, the use of acquiring a small business with a view to its development of Digital Economy has been proposed. As a conclusion from the results of the study, the recommended means of ensuring economic security in the field of electronic commerce: two-step authentication, negative lists, customer order history, credit history verification, payer authentication, fraud modeling, fingerprint devices, card confirmation numbers, and address verification services.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Investment in Human Capital in E-Business Enterprise in the Context of Sustainability

The enterprises operating in the e-business area represent an example of a sustainable entrepreneurship. These enterprises belong to those for which the people are the most valuable assets. Human capital management (HCM) represents a modern concept of people management that is based on the business strategy. Via measurement and assessment of the effectiveness of the utilization of human capital and effectiveness of investment in its development, this concept leads to the increase of performance and competitiveness of the enterprise within the context of sustainability. As part of the questionnaire survey, we found that enterprises in Slovakia have little use of the HCM concept. Despite the fact that they consider investing in education or training as the main form of investment in human capital, they do not evaluate the effectiveness of this investment in practice. By analyzing foreign studies, we have found that e-business enterprises consider IT education to be very important for their performance, competitiveness, and sustainability. The aim of the article is to explain the nature of HCM and to propose an approach to assess the effectiveness of investment in education as a part of the HCM process. Implementation of the approach was implemented in a fast-growing medium-sized IT and e-business enterprise where education is mainly implemented in the IT field. We also used an internal enterprise data analysis. The proposed example of HCM implementation in the part of evaluating the effectiveness of investment in education and the article can serve as a theoretical and practical aid to human resources managers in implementing the HCM concept.

Analysis on the Development of E-business of Fresh Agricultural Products in China

The fresh agricultural products refer to the primary agricultural products which aren’t through deep processing methods such as cooking, manufacture and so on, including vegetables, fruits, meats, aquatic products, milk, flowers, etc. The electronic business of fresh agricultural products, (e-business of fresh agricultural products for short), refers to the direct sales of fresh agricultural products to meet the need of consumers on Internet platforms by all the means of electronic business. The traditional transportation of the fresh agricultural products from farmers to consumers generally includes four or five circulation links. The circulation cost remains high because of the excessive circulation links and wastage. E-business of fresh agricultural products [1] helps to directly transport the agricultural products from the producers to consumers and accelerate the circulation of fresh agricultural products owing to the decrease of circulation links. Meanwhile, e-business of fresh agricultural products can solve the information asymmetry problem and informationize the circulation of agricultural products, which can lift the restriction of time and space to some extent. Therefore, it’s necessary to understand the operating mode of e-business enterprises of fresh agricultural products and probe the ways they profit. This article is aimed to draw a conclusion after analyzing the e-business of fresh agricultural products in China from four aspects—the current situation of e-business of fresh agricultural products, the problems in purchasing fresh agricultural products online, the case study of e-business of fresh agricultural products (take Tmall’s business of fruits for example) and four suggestions concerning the development of e-business of fresh agricultural products in China.

Game Analysis of Low Carbonization for Urban Logistics Service Systems

To improve carbon efficiency for an urban logistics service system composed of a third-party logistics service provider (3PL) and an e-business enterprise, a low-carbon operation game between them was studied. Considering low carbon technology investment cost and sales expansion effect of low carbon level, profit functions for both players were constituted. Based on their different bargaining capabilities, in total, five types of game scenarios were designed. Through analytical solution, Nash Equilibria under different scenarios were obtained. By analyzing these equilibria, four major propositions were given, in which some key variables and the system performance indexes were compared. Results show that the best system yields could only be achieved under the fully cooperative situation. Limited cooperation only for carbon emission reduction does not benefit the system performance improvement. E-business enterprise-leading game’s performance overtook 3PL-leading ones.

The Governance Mechanism of Knowledge Sharing Hostility within E-business Enterprise
