Abstract
E-commerce is changing the way companies operate. Its growth is impressive and the future of this technology will play a key role in the business world. The steel industry is no exception to this scenario. It will be highly impacted by the Internet; even now, several Websites have been developed that bring buyers and sellers together. Companies must be prepared to face the challenges that this technology will bring with it. Hylsamex, like other leaders in the steel industry, should be aware of these changes and be ready to take advantage of them. This thesis analyzes the industry and Hylsamex through the use of different frameworks. The analysis shows that the competitive position of many companies will be impacted by e-commerce and most areas of any company should adapt their processes to make full use of this technology. Companies that do not move quickly into the Internet will have hard time surviving. The Internet waits for no one. The big decisions for companies today are how and when they should go into e-commerce. These decisions will be driven by a company's objectives and its current strengths and weaknesses.
