Rating: Summary: Must Read. Review: A great analysis of successful e-commerce strategies and what it takes to do it right.
Rating: Summary: Great Introduction to E-Commerce, Even for the Beginners Review: Seybold's "Customers.com" is a must read for all executives and managers who have the vision and courage to embark on e-commerce initiatives, even in industries that are not considered technologically leading-edge. The author takes great care to write in very simple (and non-technical) language to allow the "non-techies" to follow each case study and apply the success stories to any organization. At last, someone believes that a company can be "customer-centric", "technology-centered", and "profit-oriented" all at the same time. What a concept!

Rating: Summary: Decent Examples - no failures Review: Customers.com is most useful if you interested in a few of the case examples (e.g. for a class), but isn't a great straight read.Things I liked: * Detailed examples (mostly based on direct interviews with the people involved) * Focuses on the business issues, but still includes relavant technical info Things I dis-liked: * Didn't include any failures -- I personally learn more from reading about failures than sucesses, and almost every example here was a near perfect success. P. Seybold seemed to leave out anything negative about the case examples. * Re-uses the same examples over and over again throughout the book -- makes it difficult to read straight through. * Doesn't include much relevant data than what I assume was learned from interviews.
Rating: Summary: Thorough Review: This book was both thorough and insightful. I read it in conjunction with Trading Online (FT Pitman) by Alpesh Patel and the two books together produce an excellent synergy.
Rating: Summary: A very useful book for developing web strategies! Review: Customers.com is an outstanding resource for anyone interested in gaining insights on "big business" web strategies and tactics. The case studies, take-away tips, and Patty's RX are very thorough and include detailed references from major e-commerce players. There is plenty of technical information ranging from web servers to database applications.
Rating: Summary: The New "BASICs" of business Review: In Customers.com, Patricia Seybold becomes the must read for e-commerce strategies to the degree that Don Peppers and Martha Rodgers has become for one-to-one marketing. Customers.com cuts through the hype and circumstance associated with internet as a beloved communications channel and highlights that e-commerce is more than the user interface. The examples provided will get the readers mind thinking about the data and process infrastructure that must be in place to enable e-commerce in a very simple and clear way. These basics act as good triggers for individuals about to embark on the definition of e-commerce strategies to support their business. I highly recommend this read.
Rating: Summary: A must-read for any E-commerce entrepreneur. Review: This books provides a great deal of "real-life" data on the development of the Internet as a channel of commerce. The authors shares her great insight into "what it takes" to make it as a business on the Internet. A great read for the business person or the lawyer.
Rating: Summary: Great book full of case studies Review: what I loved about the book is the case studies and analyzing how other companies made it in E commerce. Learn the positive steps and the mistake they made.
