The ICDT Model: Towards a Taxonomy of Internet-related Business Strategies

The ICDT Model described in this paper is a framework for categorizing and analyzing Internet-related business strategies. The model provides the basis for a systematic approach (1) to the analysis of how traditional products and services are redesigned in the light of the new opportunities and competitive pressures resulting from the rapid penetration of the Internet, and (2) to identify specific competencies companies need to acquire and organisational adjustments companies need to undergo in order to fully exploit the business opportunities created by the Internet.
