Abstract: eBay was founded in 1995 by a young computer programmer, Pierre Omidyar, in Silicon Valley, USA.

Unlike most other on-line companies, which started in the 1990s, eBay had been profitable right from the first month of its launch. However, the company witnessed its maximum growth under its current chairman Meg Whitman, who joined in 1998.

By 2003, Whitman made eBay the world's largest on-line auction company with 5,000 employees serving 62 million registered users globally.

Pedagogical Objectives:

  • To discuss how Meg Whitman, in just five years, transformed eBay from an ordinary auction site to an e-commerce powerhouse.
