Abstract
Supply chain management is significantly affected by the explosive growth of electronic commerce. While the developments in the computing and telecommunications industries made the transfer of information almost instantaneous, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution technologies could not accelerate the movement of material to such phenomenal levels. The coordination of information and material flows has thus assumed increased importance for profitable applications of B2B e-commerce. In this paper, we revisit existing frameworks for synthesizing the vast and rapidly growing literature on the impact of the Internet and the Web-based technologies on supply chain strategies. While the impact of the Internet on supply chain coordination has been rather positive, some reservations remain regarding its impact on supply chain design.
