On the other hand, IT affects the rate of new entry into
industries by raising the barrier to delay competitor entry by
providing new service or product features that appeal to
customers. For example, in the banking industry, IT-based
access to banking services has seriously eroded the
traditional entry barriers enjoyed by many branch offices. In
the distribution industry, IT has created new entry barriers
by requiring investment in extensive computer and
telecommunication networks that are used to control costs in
large-scale multiplication distribution facilities. In effect, IT
has created a new scale- economy barrier which the new
entrant must overcome in order to price competitively and
still be profitable.

Information technology emerges as an essential asset of
modern firms’ competitive advantage, because it connects
all business functions and supports managerial decision
processes - both essential conditions for the attainment of
the organization agility level.

A BPR program will fail if:
• It is seen as a way to make minor adjustments and
improvements to existing processes. If there is no clear
willingness to put all existing process onto the chopping
block, there is no chance of success.
• It is seen as a one-time cost cutting exercise. In reality,
cost reductions are often a handy by product of the activity
but not the primary concern. It is also not a one-time
activity but an ongoing change in mindset
• There is no success in gaining dedicated long term
commitment from management and the employees.
Bringing people onboard is a difficult task and many BPR
initiatives never take off because enough effort is not put
into securing support

A BPR program can be successful if:
• Customer needs are made the priority and this vision is
used to appropriately direct business practices.
• There are cost advantages to be achieved that help the
organization become more competitive in its industry
• A strategic view of all operational processes is taken with
relevant questions being asked about the established way
of work and how it can be developed over the long term
into more efficient business practices.
• There is a willingness to look beyond tasks and traditional
functional boundaries with a focus outcomes.

Business process reengineering is a radical change activity
that cannot be repeated if it goes wrong the first time. It is
often a high risk activity that involves monetary investment
and a risk of demotivated employees. In is essential to have
buy in all the way from top management down and it should
have a broad functional scope.

Information system and technology capabilities: An
efficient and relevant IT system is an essential BPR enabler.
Without such a system, it is not possible to keep a check on
all factors affecting the change. Before setting out on a
radical BPR activity, it is vital to set in place information
systems that can deal with the magnitude of the change.
Design, build and test the new prototype: Before any new
product is launched, a prototype is tested out. A failure at a
testing stage should never be implemented at a larger scale.
BPR projects fail more often than not for a variety of
reasons but a basic reason is the inability to identify and
accept any limitations at the testing stage. Among other
factors, both the management’s attitude towards the new
way of work and the employees’ outlook towards the change
should be carefully assessed.

Saying there is one trend that every brand should follow is shortsighted. Brands should be aware of and educated on current trends and do their homework to find out if a certain trend is right for their audience(s) or not. Is your audience on TikTok? If not, don’t waste your time on that trend. That said, video, AI and augmented reality continue to grow in use and popularity in both B2B and B2C marketing.

Differences within the business environment from one context to another and from
one moment in time to another may challenge firms’ business models and possibly change
their external fit from one context/moment to another (Uhlenbruck, Meyer, & Hitt, 2003;
Wright et al., 2005). The majority of the people at the base-of-the-pyramid live in
developing and emerging countries. Here, in emerging countries in particular, market
conditions may change from day to day as a result of economic and political instability
(Hoskisson et al., 2000; Jenkins & Thomas, 2002). Moreover, there is high heterogeneity
in consumers and producers—such as a strong but diverse orientation on culture,
traditions, and possibly religion (Letelier et al., 2003)—as well as in infrastructure, with
large differences between the distant rural areas and the large, densely populated cities
(Dawar & Chattopadhyay, 2002).

Dynamic business model qualities at the BoP
We have hypothesized that the external fit of the business model at the BoP enhances a
firm’s financial, social, and environmental performance. However, external fit is a state
that exists at a moment in time and may differ from one place to another (Wright & Snell,
1998). For, as the business environment changes, so may the external fit. This BoP
context, in which environmental uncertainty and heterogeneity are significant (e.g., Dawar
& Chattopadhyay, 2002; Hoskisson et al., 2000), calls for a longer-term dynamic
perspective that assesses the ability to maintain external fit within a broad range of
business environments.

The expansive model might also focus on the increasingly connected business context, recognizing
that RFID value might require co-creation by bridging capabilities among partners and equitable
sharing of disparate resources. For instance, processes that afford greater efficiency in supply chains
through RFID will create further value by reducing the “bull-whip effect” because information sharing
between partners may lead to smaller lot sizes and more timely delivery to the shop floor (Veeramani,
2005). Also, once embedded, RFID technology is the front door entry to a significant dataset which,
when combined with managerial experience, can uncover waste, unnecessary transportation, and
premature product decay due to improper storage. It could also be the source of new value-added

If your LLC, corporation, partnership, or nonprofit corporation conducts business activities in more than one state, you might need to form your business in one state and then file for foreign qualification in other states where your business is active.
