Conclusion
BENCHMARK – 2 0 1 1
• Different companies implement different e-business
technologies
• The adoption of technology depends upon nature of
business, resource availability, complicacy, cost, time,
security concerns and the culture of business.
• Ability to cope with change as managing a change
is a greater risk.
• Honeywell where the culture motivates them to accept
changes easily would switch over to next generation
technology.
• Vedanta may adopt ERP system in near future if generates a
good return on investment on technology. 23
