Of the many interesting and valuable e-commerce concepts and frameworks defined in the text, the one that resonate the most with me is the integration of product and service customization, combined with the agility that is possible with e-business models (Laudon, Traver, 2011).
When these core concepts are combined from the text, the importance of supply chains and their accuracy, efficiency of operation and contribute become evident. Studies of the impact of supply chain management, construction and production management show that they perform a critical link of back-office processes and systems to customer-facing processes and strategies (Bakker Harland, Knight, Zheng, 2008). The greater the complexity of a given e-commerce initiative, the more diverse the sales channels it relies on, the greater the need for supply chain collaboration and communication (Balakrishnan, Geunes, 2004).

The role of supply chain management, construction and production management is to create the foundation from which e-commerce strategies can succeed. The roles of these three components of a strategy are well-documents as critical to the success of any e-commerce strategy (Nikakhtar, Jianzheng, 2012).
