So, when I've been asked a kind of question like "why we need to learn e-business?" Here are my answers:

1. E-business is your future business.
Every business function had been set to be computerized and link to internet. And on other hands, we also can see the amazing number of transactions and dollars on e-business technology usage. I have a data that on 2005 there are U.S. $ 172 billion shopping online, up from just $38.8 billion in 2000. What an amazing trend, isn't it?
This also tell us about how large the opportunity still exist.

2. E-business is about how to doing business on a very smart way.
Yes, VERY SMART. And all the task could set automatically. We just set up first, and then 'the machine' will do the other works for you. Even when you are sleeping, or do any other activities.

3. E-business is about how to doing business on a very efficient way.
One of the main advantages of the internet technology is the scheme of 24 hours and 7 days a week. Even, it can be accessed anywhere. So, would you mind to tell me the other ways to make a network of relationship more faster now? Can you give any other easier way to do so?

4. Learning e-business include learning about any kinds of business models
So, it's just the same like we do one thing, but we could achieve some things together at the same time. By learn e-business we also study about a lot of business model -at the off-line way.

4. Enhance of the modern technology.
The technology have been build for us, so let us be the person who learn to take some benefit from it, do not waste it.

The Principles of Honesty and Integrity

by Musthofa Hadi

Honesty and integrity. Perhaps, those two words are things that can reflecting what I really like about doing e-business. How can? Here are my explanations.

It has a very good system of tracing.
With internet technology nowadays, actually we don't need to worry or having any doubt about doing e-business. Because the e-business system is build on internet technology which give us guarantees to be more easy to trace our business partner more comprehensively and quickly. By knowing general identification of our partner, we have a large opportunity to find out their credibility to have a business with us by using internet. Not only who they are, where they actually exist, how big the company is, but also we can see their performance record. We can do it so easy and quick. Any client might lie to you, but the internet business system will not.

It has a very good model of commitment agreement.
Yes, I think that on e-business although we also have a large opportunity to present ourself to be anyone, we can pretend to be someone else, from anywhere else. But the transaction had already set to ask you some information requirements and if you do not fulfill those points, so you will not allowed to continue your transaction process. Beside, the system has been build to take any kind of records so those information can be trace. Although sometimes we can see that not everyone can access those records easily. Yes, it's already be an informal commitment, so it could prevent anyone for doing something bad to another on internet. If you make any fraud of it, you can be claimed, and off course to be black-list. It will make our business die.
