Overview
Risks associated with e-business that might lead to lost opportunities and frustrated customers cover areas such as:
 * Technical
 * E.g. the website is inaccessible for a few days or is too slow, leading to lost opportunities and frustrated customers
 * Economic
 * financial – e.g. the database used to support your e-business costs too much to maintain
 * Legal
 * E.g. your use of a list of email addresses breaks privacy laws.
 * Operational
 * business – e.g. if you sell products directly to customers on your website, how this will affect your relationship with your re-sellers
 * personnel issues – eg what happens if the only person in the business who really understands your website resigns
 * Schedule
 * Can the site be built on time.
