Tiivistelmä
Commercial and technical innovations together push the e-commerce ongoing over the past decades. E-commerce applications differ from conventional software applications because stakeholders’ activities and backgrounds vary in the Internet environment. Requirements for e-commerce cannot ignore the business and Web-based nature.
We start the study by illustrating the infrastructure of e-commerce application, and exploring the characteristics of e-commerce applications comparing with conventional software applications.
Results show that stakeholder involvement and their roles vary along the e-commerce application life cycle. Meanwhile, the culture background of each stakeholder group affects the application development and evolvement activities.
Taking into account the characteristics of e-commerce system, this thesis develops an e-commerce application development strategy, focusing on the perspective of stakeholder involvement and cultural preference. The strategy is presented as a multi-layered model, Archery model. The model shows that requirements for e-commerce applications are developed gradually iteratively and incrementally. It depicts the stakeholders’ involvement at different stages of an e-commerce application life cycle, and illustrates how culture preferences influence application development.
