ABSTRACT

Does eBusiness mark the beginning of a revolution? Tapscott (1995) describes its growth as part of the burgeoning of a digital economy where:

. . .we are witnessing the early, turbulent days of a revolution as significant as any other in human history. A new medium of human communications is emerging, one that may prove to surpass all previous revolutions in its impact on our economic and social life. The computer is expanding from a tool for information management to a tool for communications. . . . In this digital economy, individuals and enterprises create wealth by applying knowledge, networked human intelligence, and effort to manufacturing, agriculture, and services. In the digital frontier of this economy, the players, dynamics, rules, and requirements for survival and success are changing.
