Mission of the E-Commerce Institute
E-commerce is fundamentally changing the economy and society. There are many opportunities for business success, but also new challenges for companies in competition. The dynamics are considerable, and new technologies fuel the competition. Large global players such as Google, Facebook and Amazon dominate the markets and set standards. More competition arises, service providers offer a plethora of solutions that often overwhelm companies without bringing substantial benefits. Without an empirical basis, a sustainable strategy and target formulation, some e-commerce projects can become loss-making, hoping for sales and efficiency gains.
The mission of the E-Commerce Institute is to help develop and implement future-oriented and sustainable e-commerce projects based on empirical research and application-related studies with and for companies.

Online competition and strategy
When developing new concepts for successful e-business, the key questions are: How can companies successfully compete in the online market and which business models provide unique selling points in e-commerce? Which additional measures for customer loyalty should be implemented on the Internet and which measures are not worthwhile.
