Introduction The basic tool for understanding the influence of information technology on companies is the value chain — the set of activities through which a product or service is created and delivered to customers. When a company competes in any industry, it performs a number of discrete but interconnected value-creating activities, such as operating a sales force, fabricating a component, or delivering products, and these activities have points of connection with the activities of suppliers, channels, and customers. The value chain is a framework for identifying all these activities and analyzing how they affect both a company’s costs and the value delivered to buyers (Lei, 2007). Alibaba Group is a private organization by Hangzhou based family who owns businesses based on internet which is inclusive of online market places for the facilitation of domestic Chinese trade and business-to-business international trade. It also includes payment and retail platforms along with data-centric cloud computing services and shopping search engines.
