Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

To the uninitiated, "e-business" refers solely to the process of buying and selling goods over the Net. In our increasingly interactive age, however, it actually means much more. e-Business 2.0, by Ravi Kalakota and Marcia Robinson, defines the term as "the complex fusion of business processes, enterprise applications and organisational structure necessary to create a high-performance business model". And in it Kalakota and Robinson--specialists in the field who serve as founder/CEO and president, respectively, of a company called e-Business Strategies--show how to employ its tenets to compete more effectively in today's brave new world. Aiming at managers who recognise the need to plan and implement just such a course of action, the authors (with help from some pioneers currently practising these techniques) offer solid advice on designing interrelated strategies focused on customer relationships, resource planning, order management and supply chains, and on evaluating investments needed to make them a reality. Describing efforts undertaken by successful e-businesses like Charles Schwab, which adopted a system that provides sales reps with real-time access to information on customers and appropriate new products, the two chart the course that trailblazing companies are following and savvy business people would be wise to emulate. --Howard Rothman --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars e-Business is different from e-commerce, 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is the first book that clearly states how e-business is different from e-commerce. Most "e" writers don't seem to understand the difference. e-Business is the transition from a traditional IT infrastructure into a complex set of integrated "inter-locking" application frameworks such as ERP, SCM, CRM, ORM, EAI, e-Sales etc. Most companies are making their investments in these frameworks. e-Commerce may be the cause, but investments in integrated apps is clearly where the action is, at least for the next two years.

I must praise the authors for seeing this trend years ago, for it takes at least two years from concept to publication. Only today is the mainstream market getting this key idea: e-commerce is just the tip of iceberg (10%), e-business is the hidden portion of the iceberg (90%). Dr. Kalakota does seem to have a knack for spotting key trends quickly. His 1995 Frontiers book was way ahead of its time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Right On!, 7 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I am a CIO of a large company and this is the first book on the "e" subject that has any depth. The authors present a systematic roadmap to building out the "e" infrastructure. They seem to understand the business aligment problem -- that established companies have IT and business assets that they cannot discard as advocated by some "so-called" gurus.

If you are part of a large company developing an e-business strategy, this book is for you. It forces you to think about large scale application investments systematically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue print for E-Business and its key technologies, 24 Jul 2000
By A Customer
The entry door to understand Ebusiness and its core technologies related to business applications. Very good presentation illustrated by relevant figures. Maybe the authors focused to much on the importance of technologies though they spend lot of time highlighting their consequences on daily business acitivities. A book to have on every night shelf.
