Additional Book Details
<p>This book provides an understanding of e-commerce by deconstructing it into its main constituents and explaining how they fit together. The objective is to introduce some consistency to the often contradictory views about e-commerce, bringing together different academic and management theories and frameworks into a coherent whole. It is written with a European perspective with examples that are drawn from around the globe, consistent with the nature of e-commerce. </p> <p></p> <p>Visit the companion website</p> <p></p> <p>This textbook gives an overview of e-commerce, relevant issues and frameworks.</p> <p>It looks at the foundations on which e-commerce is built - the technology. Managers and students of management must have an understanding of the infrastructure and inextricable linkages between processes and technology in a 21st century business. It is no longer acceptable or good business practice for technology to be the sole responsibility of IT departments. </p> <p></p> <p>The book then goes on to examine businesses that have been built on these technology foundations. It explains the concept of the business model, the `dot com′ phenomenon and frameworks that have emerged as a result. It also outlines the legal and ethical implications for an e-business. </p> <p></p> <p>It outlines the academic debate about the impact of e-commerce on economics and management thinking. It concludes with a glance to the future, exploring the potential new wave of technology.</p> <p></p> <p>This textbook will be essential for undergraduate and post graduate students. It is a user-friendly text with case studies, and learning objectives to guide the student and lecturers. A companion website will accompany the text including cases, student activities, PowerPoint slides, notes and articles in support of the book. It will also give lecturers direct access to the author.</p> <p>It will provide students with the skills to be able to converse knowledgeably with IT managers and be able to ask the right questions in order to make a decision about IT.
