Abstract: Nowadays, the Internet apart from a channel to collect information of all kind has become an effective means for promoting and enhancing purchasing via the promotion of products and it is also a focal parameter in management functions and organizational structures in any enterprise. Internet offers a variety of advantages and benefits and contributes to strategic management through e-marketing activities, Total Quality Management and Corporate Social Responsibility. In Greece, many enterprises in the agri-food sector already have an Internet presence. This paper studies the management functions, organizational and marketing activities of thirty Greek big agri-food enterprises, as they are displayed on their corporate websites. Taking into account these e-marketing and organizational activities and management functions, to be used as criteria, the enterprises were analyzed and categorized accordingly.
