Abstract

Electronic markets are discussed as an important part of electronic business and an approach to solve inter-organizational supply-chain problems. Even so, less than 25% of all enterprises in the European automotive industry currently use e-markets. The participation on e-markets is influenced by the existence of a company’s e-business strategy. Surprisingly, there appears no significant correlation between the existence of a company’s e-business strategy and efficiency gains. Another emergency is that the most common barrier for participation on emarkets is an unclear cost-benefit-relation.
