companies in Asia based on capital market value on internet business strategy, and to examine the
relationship between top companies and the internet business strategy index.
Design/methodology/approach – Data for the research were collected from the top 30 property
companies in Asia through their web sites. The services and information offered in these web sites are
discussed and used to describe the growth of internet usage in the real estate business.
Findings – From the findings, most companies in Asia realised the importance of the internet as a
marketing tool. This has been proved from the good average score of the internet business strategy
attributes. The results indicated that top property companies in Asia implemented good internet
business strategy.
Research limitations – The research is based on a study from the top 30 companies in Asia based
on market capital values as at 30 June 2009. Only three countries were selected in this study: Malaysia,
Singapore and Hong Kong.
