摘要

LivingCo成立之初的愿景是通过利用技术机遇，彻底改变美国家具行业。它以其创新的网站赢得了赞誉，并引起了相当大的消费者兴趣，一度成为互联网上流量最大的网站之一。甲骨文称LivingCo为典型代表，因为它是首批在业务前端和后端都成功部署软件的电子零售商之一。此外，行业分析师认为该公司的许多战略计划都很有希望。然而，LivingCo遇到了一些问题，包括超支、网站流量高、与子公司整合技术、担心渠道冲突的供应商，以及总体上对这种新的家具购物方式反应迟缓的客户。

The Rise and Fall of a Dot-Com: Lessons Learned from LivingCo

LivingCo was founded with a vision of revolutionizing the U.S. furniture industry by exploiting technological opportunities. It won accolades for its innovative website and generated considerable consumer interest, becoming at one stage one of the most highly trafficked sites on the Internet. Oracle named LivingCo a poster child because it was one of the first e-tailers to successfully deploy their software in both the front and back ends of the business. Furthermore, industry analysts considered many of its strategic plans promising. However, LivingCo ran into problems coping with overspending, high traffic on its website, integrating its technology with its subsidiary, suppliers who were wary of channel conflict and customers who were, in general, slow to adopt the new way of shopping for furniture.
