RESUMO

Although many established companies are well positioned to succeed at e-business thanks to strong brands, customer relationships and logistical systems, the toughest challenges of e-business are less strategic than organizational. The thesis focuses on how companies in the “real world” tackle the challenge of doing business on the Internet in organizational terms and how e-business initiatives affect existing organizational structures in such companies. For this, in a first moment, it was utilized the concept of “e-business-model”, as a tool to better understand the phenomena of e-business adoption. The concept of e-business is preferred to that of e-commerce because it is more all-embracing. E-business refers to all business transactions on the Internet between a company and its suppliers, partners and customers, as well as inside the company. It were researched three case studies in the Brazilian automotive industry. In a first moment, it was identified if the enterprise has adopted any business model to conduct the e-business activities and it was identified the characteristics of the business model, when it was present. After this, it was identified what kind of organizational structure were utilized to implement the e-business activities, defined by a business model or not. The results show us different situations: one company has adopted a model based on supply chain integration, another has adopted one model focused in the consumer, with IT activities integrated whith e-business activities and another company hasn´t adopted any business model at all. There were differences among the organizational structures too: one has adopted a matricial structure, another any activities distributed by the firm and the third has adopted one coordinated structure under Marketing area.
