Abstract
This paper aims at developing implementable e-business solutions for the cable TV industry to accelerate the information technology and information system adoptions; and thereby, increase value for the operations in the industry. Specifically, an electronic value chain is developed to show how to improve value by using information technology and information system. Then, a set of implementable solution items are developed based on this electronic value chain model. Finally, recommendations are provided on how to implement these solution items.
