Call
for Papers
During the last decade, the Web Technology
has gained a wide acceptance and achieved immense popularity in the business
world. E-commerce, the use of the Internet for trading and making
several sorts of business transactions, now has a major presence in today’s
economy. These facts have driven the majority of business organizations
out of their comfort zone and pressured them to adopt the Internet and
diffuse its use throughout their organizations. The adoption and utilization
of Web technology is not considered as an option anymore; rather, it is
a must for any business that wants to survive in today’s E-world. However,
without a robust e-Transformation process, these attempts of moving to
e-Business may not always be successful. Therefore, This workshop will
discuss the process and the issues related to e-Transformation. This will
include planning the process, executing the transition, and managing the
end result.

invited on both theoretical and practical aspects relevant to the concept
of E-transformation.
