Summary: Electronic Entreprise: the Power of Metaphors
Review: The use of metaphors is definitely the most powerful tool to have people understand the intertwining between enterprise structuring and organization and the role of IT in enterprise's processes. Andrew Targowski's book provides with a lot of metaphoric explanations and examples, which are, moreover, consistent all along the book. It also provides with a comprehensive model and representation which highly clarifies the understanding of how IT is impacting the enterprise's strategy, organization and functioning. A very strong pedestal on which one can built advanced teaching, learning and implementing. The writing style of Andrew Targowski is very efficient, clear and pleasant. He provides us with a lot of drawings and diagrams, thus making it highly suitable and reusable in teaching and learning.

Summary: Golden book...
Review: This book is worth more than its weight in gold! More and more books I read for research, less and less new things I learn and this indeed is frustrating. This book is a rare exception to this experience. I generated much more awareness about what an electronic enterprise can be and learnt much more about strategy for going about it and implementing the architecture. For any one desiring to do so, studying this book is a must. The most important strength of this book is that it offers an ocean of knowledge in a nutshell. Excellent models are presented explaining difficult concepts. Best investment for the time and resources spent on it. Large organizations no more need to become dinosaurs! This book teaches them how to become agile and dance to the tune of changing environmental factors and serve the mankind! Not only that. The large or aspiring organizations also can make impact on environment. Author's communication skill is so excellent that this book is good both for a novice or an expert in the field of management or in the information technology. No matter how much of expertise an expert may have on the subject, may still learn at least a few new pragmatic things about electronic enterprise! Despite this book presenting so many ground breaking academic concepts it easily grabs the interest of reader right from the start and retains it till the end. What amazed me the most reading this book is that it discussed concepts in electronic enterprise not in isolation but in totality of the whole world scenario which is only the right thing to do in this global village business that the electronics has helped create! A must read and study book for all FORTUNE 500 companies and those desiring to become one!
