Suggested Workshop Activities

1. After discussing what eBusiness really is, survey the audience and ask if anyone realizes
they are more of an eBusiness than they thought during the introductions. Some possible
activities that the audience may not have realized include:
a. Using email for business correspondence
b. Buying business supplies and other items online
c. Using electronic accounting and inventory software
d. Using a customer contact database
e. Using computer design programs to make flyers and advertisements
f. Locating potential or new suppliers via the Internet
g. Electronic banking
h. Any other electronic means of doing business
2. Ask the audience if there are other business activities they currently conduct through
traditional (paper-based, fax, phone, etc.) methods that they are interested in moving to
electronic methods.
3. Discuss the drawbacks of moving away from traditional methods of business and
adapting eBusiness methods.
