Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended!

It's tough to pick up a magazine or turn on the television these days without someone telling you that you must turn your company into an e-company in order to survive. But once you get past these exhortations to "embrace change," it's surprisingly hard to find any practical advice on how to integrate e-commerce into your company's business plan. Therein lies the value of Faisal Hoque's e-Enterprise, which disposes of generalities and plunges headlong into an explanation of online business models, applications, architecture and tools. For the technologically challenged, this book will go down like castor oil. But if you are running a business - any business - Hoque's exhaustive blueprint to creating a true e-business will be exactly the right medicine. For that reason, we at getAbstract.com implore executives and managers to bite the techie bullet and read this book, which also will satisfy even the hardest-core geeks with its encyclopedic guide to the components that constitute the building blocks of the e-Enterprise.

Excellent Picture of the new industry

All you need to know about e-Economy. First, it explains the paradigm of this type of business, and how organizations need to morph themselves for it. It gives an excellent view of the necessary packages and categories of technologies to support the developments in this field. A must-read to understand the e-Buzzwords and gain a standard vocabulary!

A good framework for e-business vision

Meanwhile, the technology components section is only a list of techniques and characteristics without focus on integration purpose - Christian Bruneau - Siemens Business Services - France
