ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the development of a novel strategic framework that highlights the aspects to be considered internally and externally to enhance collaboration and derive business benefits from the implementation. Management, people, process and technology are the four factors that were used to categorise the main activities of each phase in the Strategic e-Business Framework. The function of process in the Strategic e-Business Framework is similar to the people factor, and it is necessary part of accomplishing each phase. The function of technology in the Strategic e-Business Framework is similar to people and process, being necessary part of accomplishing each phase. The chapter presents a Strategic e-Business Framework that organisations in the construction industry can use to define, execute and review their e-business strategies. The analysis of evaluation of the framework by practitioners have demonstrated the intense interest of industry practitioners in implementing the framework to improve their current strategic practices in e-business and remain diligent in e-business strategy development.
