Characterizing E-service Economics based on E-contract and driven by E-value

Abstract

E-Service related technologies have a profound and revolutionary impact on many traditional areas. We try to outline its influence on economics which we call E-service Economics at fundamental level. We model the new characteristics of this trend along two themes: value driven decision making which covers both reuse based value added analysis and service value broker (SVB) pattern which embodies the integration of information technology and business wisdoms, and E-contract based realization which equally supports collaborative and competitive business activities. An initial case based on E-contract to show the attained flexibility, dynamic and consistency of automation is demonstrated.
