Abstract

Important role of E-business development in the entire communities and efforts made toward increasing ICT usage in economy and business certainly calls for explanation of objectives and strategies. This leads to effective use of e-business and strengthens the effectiveness and efficiency of e-business progress flow. In this research, we try to provide solution for developing e-business in Iranian industries, after prioritizing the industries. This provision and prioritization is based on assuming a direct role for export leap strategy. Hence, the basic problem of research is, can e-business development result in export development generally and in each industry individually?
The results showed in current IRAN business environment, e-business has no considerable effect on export leap, but if some economic, political and competitive areas are corrected then this effect can be more effective. It should be noted the lack of significance effect of e-business on export leap does not mean unimportance of
e-business. This paper concludes there should be more care about prioritization of
e-business activities on different industries. Comparisons depict that e-business effect export leap in rubber and plastics, basic metals and other transportation vehicles. Findings indicated e-business has no effect on export leap for other industries.
