Reviews

This focus on current issues relating to e-commerce & virtual business is a refreshing change from previous business publications discussing e-commerce, which focus on technology... The papers challenge traditional thinking & rewrite business models to herald a new & exciting area of development that unites technology & business. This book has a well defined structure & the areas discussed are clearly segregated. It is divided into two sections. This is an interesting book, with case studies on organisations which vary in size, business & location. I would recommend the book to academics, and it is also of interest to practitioners, although it does not provide methods for implementing or capturing success. Katie Walsh, Computer Bulleting A rich source of research and theory surrounding e-commerce and v-business, making the book a useful tool for students studying these aspects of business. Verity Graley, M2 Best Books This focus on current business issues relating to e-commerce & virtual business is a refreshing change from previous publications discussing e-commerce, which focus on technology. Katie Walsh, Computer Bulletin Many of the books i have read simply don't come up to scratch. This book is different. It provides a solid basis for understanding using theory and examples from some excellent universities. For me, some of the chapters helped to unravel issues of current practice. Amazon.co.uk Reader This one's great. It provides a fresh look at e-commerce & how businesses organize their virtual operations. It goes beyond the hype of guru texts & looks at real examples & frameworks to help understand them. Amazon.co.uk Reader
