Rating: Summary: Very complete manual for the entrepreneur! Review: A very nice book about e-business that even includes some very funny notes, such as: "In May 2000, the producers of the television show Big Brother tried to admonish anyone who tried to set up an unofficial fan page. In this case it is questionable if intellectual property is involved since the whole concept was without content." I like most the sections about legal problems (which is free on the author's web page) and the chapter about new technologies.
Rating: Summary: The New Reality is just a Doorstep Away! Review: Daniel Amor describes the rules of the new Economy in a simple and persuasive form. The reader will be hooked on the new medium and sales channel Internet. If he isn't already out there in the new Internet-World he surely wants to get part of the new hype after or during reading the book. The connected world is cool and hip. Amor succeeds in bringing this fact to the reader. This book is a present to understand Web Browser Technology, backgrounds and differences, to get a clue about programming languages like HTML or JavaScript, about Search Engines, Internet Telephony or Portal Web Sites. The book is well written and very useful - even for the non-technical reader. Every topic is illustrated by examples/business cases and checklists. By this it's very easy for the reader to follow Amor's chain of thought. Tone and style are more than appropriate to its market. Amor gives a lively description of the E-Business (R)Evolution. His style is highly professional. Due to the subtitle "Living and Working in an Interconnected World" the audience will expect descriptions and guidelines on social change as well as the new rules in business-life. Amor gives a detailled description of the interconnected business world and the technology which comes with it. Daniel Amor dedicates a part on the impact of technology on the human side of the interconnected world. How does a human being feel with a chip in his refrigerator or microwave? People have to get used to the new reality which is just a doorstep away.
Rating: Summary: Second Edition - a great update! Review: Daniel Amor has revised his book after two years almost completely and adapted it to the changes that occured within these two years. He puts now even more emphasis on ROI and business cases and provides some insight how the dot.coms crashed. Already in 1999 he presented the right strategy, but it seemed that no very many dot.coms really listened. Although dot.coms may be dead, the Internet is still here and alive and kicking and therefore his book presents the key concepts for building and operating e-business web-sites today. The book also improved largely on the language part and is now even more fun to read. I have been using the book for teaching and will introduce now the second edition to my classes.
Rating: Summary: ¿A Wealth of Best Practices¿ Review: Daniel Amor's book cuts through the swamp of proprietary jargon that has emerged from the consultants and vendors of Internet based solutions and services. A concise Introduction is followed by his reduction of e-jargon of to the basic principles of e-Commerce and e-Business and then progressively explains the potential applications, preparation, pitfalls and benefits of applying Internet enablement to the business operations of the enterprise. The route of Internet enablement can be a minefield of hazards, while the choice of supporting technologies and service options is continually widening. Amor stresses that a clear strategy and goals for the e-Business programme are essential if the investment and effort is to enable the enterprise to move into the new paradigm of pervasive e-Business The logical structure, comprehensive content and wealth of best practices included in Amor's book has helped formalise our thinking and plans on the definition and application of e-Business strategy and solutions across our business, products and services. The book continues to be a valuable source of reference on e-Business issues within our Company. A minor criticism is the irritating grammatical and spelling errors which should have been eliminated by effective proof reading, hence I give it four stars not five.
Rating: Summary: Great reading Review: I have read the book not only once, but several times and I am continously using it for my daily work. It is a great help, just like a dictionary or encyclopedia. It provides the right answers to all problems that may arise in my work as a consultant.
Rating: Summary: Still not outdated! Review: I just bought a second-hand copy of this book and although it has been published more than two years ago, it still contains a lot of valid information. Most of the concepts presented in here are still very important and many people have not adhered to these concepts. Just look at the section on CSS. This has been around since 1998, but not everyone is using CSS on his site. Same applies to many other technologies described here. While everyone knows about them, it does not mean that they use it or know how to use it. Great book for anyone interested in building up a good website.
