Rating: Summary: Second edition a significant improvement Review: This is one of the few texts on E-commerce that is both comprehensible and relevant, and useful both to academics and practitioners. In their second edition, the authors have fleshed out several chapters that were rather sketchy in the first edition, and have updated the cases. The study of Microsoft's Xbox is especially interesting, and the Beyond Interactive case, focusing on the firm's efforts to deal with the rapid decline of advertising revenue, is poignant. Like any text, parts of the book could be improved. I find the treatment of valuation (Ch 8) superficial, despite the inclusion of several equasions, and the authors should have validated the component measures approach recommended in Chapter 9 before presenting it again in this edition. Also, I'm not sure the Porter model recommended in Chapter 11 really fits the dynamic context of the network-based firm. But these flaws are minor compared to the high level of clarity and structure the authors bring to the subject. Highly recommended for MBA classes in e-commerce and seminars in strategy.
