Research limitations/implications - The research uses a limited number of companies. Additionally, the web sites were evaluated only to the extent which they were made publicly available. Practical implications - An overview and discussion of E-SCM is presented. This paper also analyzes selected companies' current web initiatives in the automotive, financial services, retail, technology, and transportation sectors. Originality/value - This paper uses an orig inal framework to analyze E-SCM initiatives. Its conclusions would be of interest to individuals with a practical and research interest in E-SCM.
