E-Business and Entrepreneur

The 4th Industry Revolution or also known as Industry 4.0 Predicts the software of digital data and the integration of information technologies and prepares all production units that are directly or indirectly involved in partnerships. Renewable energy sources like the sun and wind have become more significant since the Third Industrial Revolution because of the issues with non-renewable resources and environmental concerns. These advancements enable innovations that were previously unattainable, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which we are currently in, has started as a result of the impact of variables like the Internet of Things and Services. Any procedure a business organization carries out over a computer-mediated network is called “e-business” or electronic business. Any government, non-profit, or for-profit organization can be considered a business organization. They use business procedures that are production-, customer-, internal-, or management-focused. E-business also can be outlined as the networking and empowerment of business operations through the internet, electronic commerce, organizational communication, and cooperation both within a firm and with its clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

Meanwhile, if there is e-business there will be e-commerce which is the marketing, sales, and customer service of goods and services using computer networks. New management and control techniques are now possible both within and between organizations thanks to information technology. The use of information technology allows for the simultaneous coordination of economic activities beyond traditional organizational boundaries and in many distinct places. Because of this, businesses have been able to develop new types of organizations, such as network organizations and virtual organizations, that are more adaptable and effective, make the most of employees’ skills and experience, and cut down on many of the expenses related to managing conventionally rigid and hierarchical organizations. The e-business changes the entrepreneur in creating new business for the new market by the way it works nowadays. This is because e-business is a business process done by using IT communication and mainly processed using the internet application. Moreover, e-business is not only an entrepreneur doing their business via the internet, but it also includes sending documents, interchange data with a manufacturer and distributor, and business partner. E-business includes e-commerce, e-enterprise, e-economy, e-society, e-government, e-banking, and e-learning. E-business will make it easier for a new business to start its own new business because e-business increase productivity. The ability to forecast and prevent downtime, as well as to maximize equipment effectiveness and maintenance, is the primary factor driving productivity increase in a smart factory.

Therefore, with e-business business owners will be able to increase productivity with the technologies by having a better machine that can produce products quicker and there will be machines that can even do the packaging of the product. Employee efficiency can also be increased with the use of digital technologies. The sensors provide you information about how many products you’ve produced, how many of them are flawed, and how long it took to make them. You may be particular about who needs training and what they need training on based on that. In this situation, business owners may be able to increase the production of their products. For example, before this one person can package an amount of 2000 products a day, but with proper training and analysis, one person may be able to package an amount of 2500 products a day. This will allow a new business owner to reduce the intake of employees at the same time it will also decrease the cost of starting a new business. Next, the 4.0 Industry will also help the new business owner to have a lower operating cost when they want to open a new business. This is because of the quality control and real-time production monitoring to cut down on waste and rework. It means that once the new business starts with the new technology in the industry that will have quality control and real-time production monitoring, the new business owner will not have to worry if the business will cost too much once they start a new one.

Other than that, the new business owner also can have a lower operating cost with the new technologies because the predictive upkeep helps avoid expensive repairs and unscheduled downtime. This helps to lower the operating cost because the business owner does not have to worry about fixing costs because of the new technologies that can give a prediction of when the machine needs fixing and needs to be fixed. The e-business will also help the business owner to increase automation to reduce labor expenses and boost throughput. So, with this technology, the new business owner will not have to hire too many employees during the operation. Last, having a lower cost of operations means the use of 3-D printers to speed up prototyping, lower engineering costs, and shorten time to market. The new technology that gave business owners these advantages and new technology of facility will reduce the burden for a new business owner to open their own business and enter the new market.

Moreover, the 4.0 technology changes entrepreneurs in creating new businesses for the new market by helping the new business owner to improve product quality better than other businesses. As an illustration, real-time quality control enables you to collect data at every stage of manufacturing. This will enable you to assess how shifting environmental factors impact the quality of your items. For instance, how varying temperatures impact the quality or how various workers affect output. With time, using this information, you may be able to minimize or even stop consumer returns for nonconforming goods. Industry 4.0 also will make the new business owner more innovative because of the new technologies that are widely accessible on the internet. Even if this is a low score, greater innovation frequently unlocks the most value for your company. The emergence of new business models made possible by intelligent goods and cutting-edge technology like 3-D printing is still in its infancy. Over the next five to ten years, they are expected to unleash a massive amount of innovation. This is how the 4.0 Industry changes entrepreneurs in creating a new business for the new market. Nonetheless, how the 4.0 Industry changes entrepreneurs in creating a new business for the new market by making the business owners gain a competitive advantage with the new market. In highly competitive markets, digital technology may give an edge and have a big impact on growth.

New technology will make everything seems possible.

This will make new business owner braver to open their own business because as people know handling a business is not an easy task, so the new technology will make everything seems possible. For instance, a plastic processor that has allowed a large retailer access to its systems allows the store to place orders online safely and select which warehouse it wishes to buy the goods from. The logistics division then ships the item and sends the client an invoice. The entire procedure is automated, which lowers the workload for company processes, speeds up fulfillment, and increases customer satisfaction. With the help of new technology, a better service will be done by the business and this will make the business more competitive in the market. 

 

Lastly, the 4.0 industry changes entrepreneurs by giving them the ability to transform their business from an old business to a new better one, from a non-existent business to a new perfect one with the new technologies. For firms that utilize the data to make strategic choices, integrating digital technologies can be time- and effort-consuming, but the rewards can be highly fascinating.  When something new comes out we need to study the new thing so the same goes for the entrepreneur to use the new and better technologies they need to study the technologies to utilize them but once entrepreneurs fully understand the use of each technology it will be an easy journey for the business owner in the future. These are some tips for the new business owner for them to know where to start and study the technologies. 

Integrating digital technologies can be time- and effort-consuming, but the rewards can be highly fascinating.

Business owners may get started by deciding what information needs to be collected and how frequently it should be evaluated. Information on its own is meaningless, but if they can properly evaluate it, they will be able to utilize it to help them make the appropriate choice. Without such knowledge, they are forced to make judgments based only on intuition, which is not always the best course of action. In conclusion. E-business’ primary function is to carry out online transactions between trading partners, with information serving as the primary item being bought and sold. Since, it is now impossible to determine if the technology being used will be compatible with a new solution, incorrect cost calculation, and undue haste during the launch of an e-business specifically apply to new ideas. Other often committed mistakes may include failing to properly protect transactions, that is, failing to apply more secure protocols during e-transactions, and performing unsuccessful marketing and promotion efforts without a proper plan or analytics.

The choice of improper technology, the presentation of the offer in an unappealing manner, or the undeveloped ergonomics of the service can all result in technological, functional, and aesthetic problems. E-business changes the entrepreneur in creating new business for the new market. Of course, when there are new things there will be pros and cons of the new things so in orto minimize the cons, the entrepreneur must be able to analyze and study the new technologies before using them. Whatever happens, while using the new technologies entrepreneur must always remember that customers are the business’s number one priority which is why whatever an entrepreneur wants to do, they must consider the outcomes if it will affect the customers, supplier, and employees or not. Without all of them, the business will not work out.

The evolution of a business model is thought to be highly dependent on the technologies or pillars of Industry 4.0. When all the findings are analyzed, major businesses are transforming the best, which is presumably because they have access to far more investment resources than small businesses do. However, tiny businesses have flexible processes on their side because they are still very lightly institutionalized. The absence of financial assistance in the form of EU structural grants, which would aid in removing the obstacle associated with a lack of funding for digitization, is highlighted by respondents. Its greatest obstacle is a lack of investment capital
