University of Gloucestershire University of Misurata CONCLUSION The use of the SCALE model has helped identify where progress has been made and where opportunities exist at individual process level. Libyan Universities need a clear e-business strategy aligned with the overall university business plan. The study results will be fed into the future business planning and operational delivery of new e-business systems in the Libyan universities, The universities need to lead Initiatives to develop e-business infrastructure across its campuses. SCALE model will be further applied at other Libyan universities and will act as a yardstick for comparing and progressing the operational implementation of e-business in these organisations.
