eBay Structures Its Bid for Change
In 1995, 28-year-old computer programmer Pierre Omidyar started an online business to answer the kind of question that might interest both microeconomists and entrepreneurs: “He launched eBay,” we’re now told on eBay’s website, “to experiment with how equal access to information and opportunities would affect the efficiency of the marketplace.” Enthusiastic response to preliminary efforts had convinced Omidyar that somewhere there was a buyer for every item that a seller might put up for sale. The next step in Omidyar’s experiment consisted of a weekend spent writing software code that would support online auctions. He launched a website called AuctionWatch in 1995, and two years later changed the company’s named to eBay.
Originally, Omidyar structured his company using the functional design typical of small businesses. He set up the usual functional areas such as operations, finance, legal, human resources, etc., and eventually gave each unit a company president; however, he introduced a twist in the usual functional configuration by integrating a System4 design based on the behavioral model of organizational design that emphasizes the importance of group and other interpersonal processes. Omidyar’s personal values favored creating a company the structure of which sidestepped big business altogether and permitted individuals, wherever they might be, to function as buyers and sellers. Today, people commonly refer to eBay as “an online auction and shopping site,” but Omidyar envisioned his site as much more than an auction space. He intended eBay to create an online community—something like a small town in cyberspace—and, for that, he needed an organizational model that did away with bureaucracy and fostered democratic decision making, decentralization, open communication and interaction, and relationships of trust; after all, the entire business model depended upon two strangers trusting one another.
Omidyar stepped down as CEO in 1998, although he retained his position as chairman of the board. He was replaced by Meg Whitman, a former management consultant and a veteran of such venerable firms as P.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

business model is ideally suited to the Web.
E-bay stores no inventory and ships no products. Instead,
it derives its revenue from the movement of information,
an ideal task for the Internet.
Since eBay was founded in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar the
company has been profitable, attracting more than 200
million users by 2006.
The success of eBay relies on a unique formula. E-Bay
derives the bulk of its revenue from fees and commissions
associated with its trading services.
11. 1)What is eBay’s business model and business
strategy? How successful has
it been?
E-bay is an online market place and an online auction
service.
It stores no inventory and ships no products. Instead it
derives its revenue from the movement of information.
E-bay’s business strategy is to generate revenue from the
fees and commission charged to the customers, who use
the site to exchange products.
According to this case the company has been profitable
and had attracted more then 200 million user by 2006, till
2005 ebay users listed 1.8 billion items in auctions.
One of the most successful part of the company is that
it’s fully automated.
12. 2)What are the problems that eBay
is currently facing?
One problem is that analysts report that many of
eBay’s top sellers aren’t interested in adding
voice calls to their sales models.
Another problem is that since Ebay is growing
internationally, it may not be able to keep up
with all the different laws found in each country.
One of the problem is auction’s honesty and
integrity, company have some control over this
issue but not complete control.
Customer service is another problem, and it is
due to size of the company.
13. 3) How is eBay trying to solve these problems?
Are there any other solution that eBay should
consider?
One solution includes great expansion.
Ebay has added extra measures of protection such
as additional vehicle warranties and purchase
protection.
Ebay has also entered into a number of relationships
with major competitors such as Yahoo and Google.
Ebay purchased PayPal which is essentially a peer-to-
peer payment system.
To remain in touch with its customers, Ebay has
started a program called Voices.
It has also tried to create a dialogue between
customers by creating a WIKI.
14. 4)What management, organization, and
technological factors play a role in eBay’s
response to its problems?
• Management have to ask the buyer and seller
are the new services offered by the company are
satisfactory or not.
• Organization factors include having enough
employees to carry out the changes to the
company.
• Technological factors include the components
and programmes that will be run by eBay such as
PayPal AND Skype.
15. 5) Will eBay be successful in long run?
Why or why not?
Yes, eBay will be successful, but need a lot of
work to do.
Case says that eBay is declining in sales(in last)
So, they have to design new ways to attract new
buyers.
Ebay is trying to implement more interactivity
through skype, so that customer sellers can
communicate two way.
Also ebay is pricey transparent, use of wiki is also
adding on, but have to have control upon frauds.
