过去十年中最深刻的发展之一是电子商务的出现，它彻底改变了使用Internet、网络和其他数字技术的组织的业务交易、协作和管理过程。电子商务已经改变了所有行业的竞争力量，并成为任何有兴趣获得竞争优势的组织的重要组成部分。虽然管理电子商务迅速成为管理人员最重要的任务之一，但许多管理人员仍然缺乏制定有效的电子商务战略和解决方案所需的核心电子商务知识。为了使经理的工作更具挑战性，许多电子商务模式尚未证明其可持续性和盈利能力。电子商务如何影响组织是一个复杂而又重要的问题，需要各种概念、方法和技术手段。在商业组织中电子商务发展的早期阶段，组织创建了基于内联网的在线信息库，这些信息库可以即时更新并交互式检索。电话簿、福利信息、培训材料、公司通讯和员工手册可以随着变化而更新，从而减少纸张、打印和邮寄成本。基于内部网的在线知识库是一种廉价的解决方案，因为内部网的技术特点简单，实现成本低，功能有限。随着电子商务的集成变得越来越先进，组织开发了一组更丰富的电子协作应用程序，以创建一个环境，在该环境中，独立的组织以及组织内的不同组可以交换想法、共享信息和处理共同的项目。电子协作应用程序已进一步扩展到供应链的所有活动，并已成为供应链运作的最具成本效益的手段。电子协作应用程序通过自动化生产和库存管理中涉及的所有业务流程来简化与业务合作伙伴的通信。然而，为了实现电子协作的全部好处，各组织需要在精简标准作业程序之外进行意义深远的组织变革。业务流程应该重新设计，并与业务伙伴的价值链相结合，员工的角色应该重新定义。促进广泛采用电子商务的一种方法是制定技术标准，使信息能够在组织之间和组织内部无缝地流动。XML是电子商务系统集成的关键组件之一。用于产品数据同步的基于XML的UCCnet就是零售商必须采用的标准技术之一
One of the most profound developments of the past decade was the emergence of e-business, which has revolutionized the process of business transactions, collaboration, and management of an organization using the Internet, networks, and other digital technologies. E-business has changed the dynamics of competitive forces across all industries and become an essential component for any organization interested in achieving competitive advantage. While managing an e-business rapidly emerged as one of the most important tasks for managers, many managers still lack the core e-business knowledge needed to develop effective e-business strategies and solutions. To make the manager's job more challenging, many e-business models have yet to prove their sustainability and profitability. How e-business affects organizations is a complicated, yet important question that requires a variety of conceptual, methodologi-cal, and technical approaches. At the early stage of e-business development in business organizations, organizations create the intranet-based online repositories of information that can be updated instantaneously and retrieved interactively. The telephone directory , benefits information, training materials, corporate newsletters, and employee handbooks can be updated as changes occur, reducing paper, printing, and mailing costs. The intranet-based online repositories are an inexpensive solution because of the intranet's simple technical features, low implementation cost, and limited functions. As the integration of e-business becomes more advanced, organizations develop a richer set of e-collaboration applications to create an environment where separate organizations as well as diverse groups within an organization can exchange ideas, share information , and work on common projects. E-collaboration applications have further expanded into all activities of the supply chain and emerged as the most cost-effective means of supply chain operation. E-collaboration applications streamline communications with business partners by automating all of the business processes involved in the production and inventory management. However, to achieve the full benefits of e-collaboration , organizations need far-reaching organizational changes beyond the streamlining of the SOPs. Business processes should be redesigned and integrated with business part-ners' value chains, and employees' roles should be redefined. One way to promote widespread adoption of e-business is to develop technology standards that can be used to make information flow seamlessly between organizations and within an organization. XML is one of the key components in e-business systems integration. XML-based UCCnet for product data synchronization is one such standard technology that retailers will have to take
