'eBusiness provides an insightful and current text book on E-business thinking which will be of value to educators, students and industry practioners. The book is suitable for both generalist and specialists in its coverage of the subject matter. The text provides a detailed overview of E-business interspersed with case studies to illustrate meaning via practical examples.' - Dr. Paul Jones, University of Glamorgan, UK'This thoughtful book offers a systematic and comprehensive approach to the popular subject of eBusiness. Parallels are drawn from a wider perspective and encourage the reader to consider the problem domain from an original and more inclusive point of view. A very helpful addition to the literature on the subject of eBusiness.' - Dr. Natalia Beloff, University of Sussex, UK'This is an excellent introduction to eBusiness. It is a comprehensive text with a wide-ranging structure that goes beyond a simply descriptive approach to eBusiness. There is a focus on rigour and analysis, including techniques such as activity system modelling, process modelling, and data modelling. At the same time there is attention to the social context and the heterogeneous nature of eBusiness applications. This book brings information system development and eBusiness together and will be a valuable aid in teaching both topics. For practitioners the book provides a valuable blueprint for eBusiness system development in the 21st century.'- Richard Vidgen, Professor of Systems Thinking, University of Hull, UK Praise for the previous edition: 'The author is to be congratulated in producing a text which draws together the principal strands of e-business in an accessible and readable manner.' - Stuart Fitz-Gerald, International Journal of Information Management'A core text for information systems students at undergraduate level...it is good to see the inclusion of the full range of e-busines applications including e-procurement and supply chain management.
