| Abstract: | Data on the traits, behaviours and skills possessed by leaders of both e-businesses and traditional bricks and moter companies were collected using a combination of questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews. The majority of characteristics possessed by leaders of traditional bricks and mortar organisations are found to be equally valued in the digital economy. There are, however, a certain number of characteristics that are emphasised within e-businesses. These include a propensity for risk taking, entrepreneurialism, networking ability, as well as the requisite technical skills. |
