Problem:
A new client of a shoe store is planning to move to e-business format. The client is wondering if everything is ready. To evaluate the e-business capability of the shoe store, you will have to perform an assessment of the current state of a company and the process of determining gaps between the current and future state.
Q1. Evaluate how companies need to bridge the gap between the current state and the e-business state.
Q2. Using the 3 levels of the e-business architectural model, discuss how the store would use gap analysis to determine its needs regarding the development of e-business architecture and staffing requirements.
