Sánchez 1 Laura Reeb 2 1,2 Universidad Nacional del Sur, Dpto. de Cs. de la Administración, mas@uns.edu.ar Abstract Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) that implement an strategy based on electronic commerce need to transform the major business processes. If this transformation has a strong impact in the way work is done, organizations may be reluctant to change. The objective of this work is to describe an approach to implement an e-business strategy without destroying and disrupting the actual business. The approach suggests assessing the organization’s goals and activities before defining the e-business vision and objectives. Hence, it allows defining a usable e-business implementation strategy. The approach is based on collaborative work rather than traditional hierarchical project management. Then, people all around the organization gets involved in the project. We base the proposal on the work of Lientz and Rea [4]. We have adapted the approach to SME and we describe a full case study of a small organization in the tourism sector. Key words: Electronic Commerce, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Strategic Management, Process Redesign
