E-Business 100 Methodology
How We Selected The E-Business 100

Illustration by James O'Brien InformationWeek Research fielded a Web survey in August and September to identify the nation's most innovative practitioners of electronic business applications and solutions. The survey was designed by InformationWeek editors in consultation with the IT advisory firm Hurwitz Group. More than 350 companies answered the survey and submitted essays describing their E-business strategies, plans, and implementations. InformationWeek editors and Hurwitz consultants evaluated the essays, awarding the most points to firms with especially innovative solutions.

For this study, InformationWeek defines E-business as the use of Internet technologies to link customers, suppliers, business partners, and employees, using at least one of the following: E-commerce Web sites that offer sales transactions, customer-service Web sites, intranets and enterprise data portals, extranets and supply chains, and IP electronic data interchange.
