E-Commerce Times Talkback

Roughly 70 percent of large firms will fall prey to a handful of "significant business
traps" -- including the fumbling of e-commerce opportunities -- that will hamper growth
and perhaps destroy entire companies, predicted a report released Tuesday by GartnerG2, a
new research service of Gartner Group.

At a time when the cooling economy is forcing managers to reassess their business models
and trim costs, GartnerG2 said that many companies are subject to "danger points" that
will prevent them from meeting their goals.
