Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how a company can incorporate  important principles learned by other successful E-businesses.  This study examines four  essential principles   used by Netscape Corporation for building a successful E-business as they relate to Anthill.com, a relative newcomer to the E-business world. Data were gathered via in-depth interviews with Anthill.com  executives. It is hoped that other E-businesses will recognize the importance of closely following these principles to improve  the opportunity to develop  into a large-scale  E­business.
