Summary: This book brought my e-commerce to 60mph in record time!
Review: THANK YOU! This outstanding book is well laid out and full of detailed information. For those of us with a great deal to learn about E-Commerce, this book takes you 0-60 very quickly. Of particular interest is the tremendous number of resources that are illustrated throughout the book that can be called upon for deeper information and consultation. This book not only covers a lot of ground in an easy-to-read format, but gives you the tools to go much deeper.I had difficulty putting it down!

Summary: A truly awful book
Review: I reviewed about 20 e-commerce books in preparation for teaching a series of corporate seminars and college courses, and this was easily the weakest of the bunch. The authors must have written this in a weekend. There was very little depth to this treatment - most of it was terribly obvious. No exploration of the more fundamental ways in which e-commerce is changing organization and design of businesses, supply chains, the marketing relationship, etc. These people need to go back to the field to find out what is really happening, not just hang out in their ivory tower. I suggest spending your $$ on one of Ravi Kalakota's books, which are much more thoughtful and original. Were not the market for e-commerce books exploding, this very weak book would never have been published.

Summary: Great Overview
Review: I want to commend the author's of this book for providing a clear and easy way to understand the methodologies behind ebusiness. This book was not meant to design a model for the client, but to educate them on the steps that they will have to go through when they partner with a ebusiness company such as the one I work for.

Summary: Fails to show you HOW
Review: This book is a decent introduction for those already familiar with starting up a company. However, this book fails to show you HOW to actually build an e-commerce business.

Summary: Fun to read
Review: The book is fun to read and contains interesting research materials. I particularly like the company profile section which highlights some successful e-commerce examples world wide. Other than that, much of the content will quickly become obsolete because of the super fast change that occured in the industry. Most materials will probably carry the same weight if gathered from recent magazine articles.

Summary: Turning your focus to eCommerce? Get this book!
Review: The eCommerce Book is an outstanding resource for those now turning they're focusing to eCommerce. It covers the essential elements for someone in need of a broad understanding of the field. I learned the basics of payment systems, security, auction technology, globalization, and vendor solutions. The simplification of the basic architecture and deployment process for eCommerce was particularly helpful. This is not a dry technical reference book. On the contrary, this is a quick, positive, and enthusiastic read of an exciting and emerging mega-trend. I liked the numerous link-references to interesting and helpful Internet sites relevant to the book. Written by computer scientists, but with a keen attention to business issues, this book was helpful to me for both my engineering and management needs. About the only thing I would suggest would be an appendix with footnotes to technical references for those of us that may need to dig deeper in a certain arcane area. If you are just starting to focus on this area (or if you would like to round out your knowledge of this broad field), then this is the book for you!

Summary: For business/management people w/o any technical background
Review: I am an e-commerce architect mainly dealing with technical part of the e-commerce rather than the business side of it. I heard good things about the authors' class (I belive it is a lot more technical) that is being taught at the SMU in Dallas so I decided to pick up the book thinking it will save me from attending a $5,000 class. Well, this book is not for those people with technical backgrounds but for those management/business people who doesn't understand the basic concept of what it needs to run succesful e-commerce web sites. If you fit in that category it should be a worthwhile reading I belive. It will give you a good general background info. I would say this is still better than the most e-commerce books I've read but still not good enough. If you are an engineer/programmer/analyst, then don't bother too much with this book.
