Electronic case studies (e-Cases) are hypertext documents that focus on a single company or business theme. An e-Case differs from a traditional case study in that it is a dynamic account of a business situation. The hypertext links point to data that are automatically updated, such as company websites and secondary data in areas such as financial accounts or market overviews. The approach encourages participants to develop problem-based strategies centred on the concept of jigsaw learning. A range of e-Case examples has been developed and this paper serves as a note for instructors on how best to use them.

The decision to adopt e-commerce technology depends on a variety of variables. This paper explores the relative importance of structural firm-specific variables, the intrinsic value of the technology, expectations concerning the evolution of the technology, and the adoption behaviour of other agents. Almost all variables pertaining to the conventional structure of firms, including size, and the value of technology, are found to have no importance in the adoption decision, whereas the expected number of other adopters are found to have a positive effect. Moreover, the smaller the percentage of adopters considered to be the threshold beyond which the firm will adopt (critical mass), the higher the probability of adoption.

We developed a system for analyzing and visualizing business solutions provided by information technology (IT) companies in Japan. The system enables analyzing investments in the IT sector in Japan that exceed 100 billion dollars per year. The system uses information about business solutions obtained from web sites to do the analysis. It generates a two-dimensional diagram of the information using a visualization engine called GAVE (Galaxy Analysis and Visualization Engine). The system enables analyzing IT investments by year, company size, industry, characteristics of the region, and so on. It enables users to understand how IT investments are being made in Japan. The IT industry is growing rapidly, and opportunities for investment can significantly affect the cost of the investment. Companies making investments in IT can use this system to make informed investment decisions to ensure their competitiveness.
