Abstract

Within this paper we develop and explore the concept of a business pattern. The term business pattern is used to refer to a coherent and repeating sequence of action involving humans and technology appropriate to some domain of organisation. We demonstrate a way of visualising such patterns in a medium we refer to as pattern comics. We argue that such an approach to visualisation offers an innovative way of making sense of the issue of strategic change, particularly as it concerns the domains of electronic business (eBusiness) and electronic commerce (eCommerce). We utilise the developing domains of online retail in general and online grocery in particular to ground our theorisation.
