An Evaluation on the Performance of E-Business Promotion Policy Derived from Thirteen Funded Cases

IDB of MOEA has since facilitated 47 enterprises adopting a B2B information system (B2BIS) between the years of 2000 to 2004. Through the investigation of the financial performance of these enterprises after implementing a B2BIS, this study intends to focus on 13 funded cases finalized in 2001 (of 4 cases) and in 2002 (of 9 cases) by analyzing whether there has been tangible contribution in the firm’s improvement in financial performance using public disclosed financial data on market observation post system of the Taiwan stock exchange in the subsequent year. This study’s findings revealed that although there had not been any sign that supported a significant correlation in gross profit enhancement and account receivable turnover among the enterprises that have since implemented the B2BIS, but at the same time there were some convincing data indicating the yield in operation cost and inventory turnover. Aiming at such result, this paper further proposed a detailed analysis and suggestions of policy adjustment.
