Global Electronic Commerce: Theory And Case Studies (mit Press)

Electronic commerce has spurred far-reaching changes in business, on multiple fronts, using many technologies. This book provides a deep, practical understanding of these technologies and their use in e-commerce. Unlike other books on e-commerce, it does not concentrate solely on the Internet. Instead, it suggests that the Internet is only a bridge technology, attractive because of its low cost and global reach, but unattractive because of its slow speed and poor user interface.
