Abstract
E-business is becoming common practice in many industries. In reality, however, a long list of companies has gone out of e-business. Many of these failures could have been caused by the difficulties unique to e-business, which have not been made clear, and thus similar mistakes may have been repeated. Furthermore inducing mechanism, which may cause the difficulties unique to e-business, has not been made clear. This study attempts to examine the inducing factors, which may attribute to unique aspect of e-business companies. This paper extracts the common elements from existing works related to this study. Then we propose hypotheses about the inducing factors in unique aspect of e-business companies.
