E-business and SMEs

Toward business models suitable for the industrial sectors

There have been many recent studies on e-business models specific to SMEs. However, very few experts have investigated these models from the standpoint of the various industry sectors. Which model is best suited to which industry? Are some sectors more promising than others? How can industry associations be used to help SMEs capitalize fully from the Internet? It is precisely in order to answer these types of questions that CEFRIO and its partners the National Bank of Canada , TELUS Québec , Industry Canada , Canadian Heritage and CANARIE launched the research project entitled New E-business Models for SMEs. As Industry Minister Allan Rock said during last Friday's launch, "This project will encourage small Canadian firms to be more efficient and increase their productivity using e-commerce strategies."

"Initially, the research will make it possible to identify the main features of emerging e business models, and to classify them," says Monique Charbonneau, the President and CEO of CEFRIO . Later on, in-depth analyses will identify those models that are the most promising for specific industry sectors. At the end of the day, SMEs will have a kind of road map to help them achieve their business objectives."

"The knowledge we will gain from this study will help CANARIE identify inhibitors to E-business adoption among the Canadian SMEs. We will then target projects for future funding which represent key opportunities for progress and the development of knowledge and best practices which can be shared across industry sectors." Said Andrew Bjerring President and CEO of CANARIE Inc., a Canadian organization which mission is to accelerate the development and use of Canada's advanced Internet

Concrete Objectives

According to Michel Vézina and Louise Côté, two of the three researchers involved in the project, who are also professors of accounting at HEC Montreal, "More specifically, the purpose of the project is to identify success factors, barriers, prerequisites and conditions that are conducive to helping SMEs make the transition to e-business in Canada."

"In order to achieve this, we will study e-business strategies and the financial performance of a number SMEs in six different industry sectors: Food processing/niche products; Printing and publishing; Design and fashion; Plastics processing; Tourism and Construction," added Vincent Sabourin, a professor at the School of Management Science at the Université du Québec à Montréal, and a researcher involved in the CEFRIO project. We hope to be able to learn lessons that can be generalized to all companies."

These sectors, which consist of a large number of SMEs, generally spread throughout most of the provinces in Canada, play an important role in the Canadian economy. While it is true that e-business presents challenges to these sectors, it will also create promising business opportunities over the next few years.

At the end of the project, which is scheduled for the fall of 2003, training and dissemination activities will be organized in partnership with the various industry associations. Tools for management, such as decision support systems, will also be designed. According to Michel Lozeau, First Vice-President of E commerce at the National Bank of Canada, "These tools will help SMEs choose the business model that is most likely to increase their profitability in a given context."

"Many SME managers are still sceptical about the need to make the transition, says Hugues St-Pierre, President of Telus Québec. Many are asking themselves what they have to do, and what strategies they ought to adopt, and where e-business is likely to create value. This project will not only help them avoid mistakes, but will also remind them that success, on the Internet as elsewhere, depends on adopting the right model at the right time."

E-Business for Small Business 

E-Commerce is about making transactions online through selling and buying of products and services. It is a component of E-Business. Electronic business is more than selling goods and services online: it's using online resources and tools to do business better - more efficiently and productively. It's about making and saving money online.

E-Business can work for any business because it involves the whole business cycle from production, procurement, distribution, sales, payment, fulfillment, restocking and marketing. It's about relationships with customers, employees, suppliers and distributors. It involves support services like banks, lawyers, accountants and government agencies

E-Business for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

The pressure to adopt e-business apps and digitize business processes is growing steadily in the fragmented SMB segment.  The first step towards B2C or B2B e-business is automating internal processes via enterprise applications. While most large firms have robust enterprise application strategies, the SMB firms are struggling with complexity and cost. The SMB challenge: how to configure and deploy big-company technology-specifically, ERP, Procurement and CRM applications-without spending millions. When all goes well, SMB e-business implementations are measured in thousands of dollars instead of millions, and months instead of years. The vendors promise up-front, guaranteed agreements on schedule and price, fully functioning applications and a lot fewer headaches than traditional ERP.

These vendors - SAP, IBM, Microsoft Oracle and others - are all aiming to provide integrated enterprise application suites (much like what Microsoft did with Office). These prepackaged solutions provide out-of-the-box functionality that enables SMB's to quickly and easily manage financials, human resources, supply chain, customer relationships, and other key business processes.

The rationale is simple: SMB enterprises can't afford to implement piecemeal technology -- and then incur costly migrations as the business expands. The SMB market segment wants to focus on running their business, not on developing and implementing enterprise applications.

 For the manager of a small business, it's a constant challenge to simplify your daily business tasks so you can focus on your customers. Those tasks may include developing customer relationships, following up sales leads.
