We review, classify, consolidate, and synthesize the contributions to the expanding field of e-business that have been published in Production and Operations Management. We classify e-business research in the following four categories: (1) e-auctions, (2) radio frequency identification, (3) e-business system design, and (4) competition, conflict, collaboration, and coordination (C^sup 4^ in e-business). We identify important research themes, research methodologies, and research techniques within each of these categories. We also provide directions for future research and discuss the managerial implications of the e-business research reported in our paper.

It's the classic "either/or" proposition in manufacturing settings, where assembly practices generally follow one of two tracks: job or process. The difference between the two is the ability to trace input costs to finished goods. Process costing is defined as an accounting methodology that tracks the production of large quantities of identical units. At the end of the period, units in production and completed units must be valued for the balance sheet and income statement as required for external reporting.

This paper is written to explore the many aspects of financing new business ventures and projects in customer service management organizations. New business financing can take many forms at different stages. The stages of a new business venture can include research and development, demonstration, early commercialization, and demand-driven commercialization. The various financial instruments that help ventures through these stages include Government finance, International funding Mechanisms, Private-sector finance, and Micro-credit and community-based financing (Chaurey, Gueye, & Babu 2004).

This paper studies the specifics of the interaction between BI and KM to create business value through decision-making. We develop specific testable propositions to be used in future empirical work and to help businesses gain value from BI.
