Great book

Well-written, concise, comprehensive. I like the integrated mullti-disciplinary approach

Very well-written, informative, and concise

I am enjoying reading this book. The authors have done an excellent job in bringing together three diverse areas that are all so important for electronic commerce. As electronic commerce is being adopted rapidly across industry sectors, government, and education, a deep understanding of the main issues of electronic commerce is a must and also something that many people are looking for. This book is an excellent attempt at viewing electronic commerce in the light of its technological, business, and policy-oriented issues. I also enjoyed having a comprehensive reference of the literature in this field.If you are looking for a particular aspect of electronic commerce, for example, web technology, you will probably find other books that have dedicated discussions on that topic. In fact there is no shortage of books that address specific technical aspects of electronic commerce. However, they might not provide you with a general understanding of the wholistic picture that this book provides. I look forward to seeing another edition of this book.

Excellent overview of the field

This is an excellent book. It is very well-written, concise, and yet it covers a wide range of topics. I liked the technical coverage of the related issues, particularly the coverage of data warehousing, multimedia, and workflow sections. The case studies are also very useful, something that I have not found in any other publications on Electronic Commerce. I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking for either a comprehensive coverage or a quick look up of a specific aspect of Electronic Commerce.

comprehensive

The book provides a comprehensive discussion of the area of Electronic Commerce. It is the first book written on Electronic Commerce that deals with the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. It also provides information for both practitioners as well as researchers. It is well-written, informative and has several case studies the helps in illustrating the concepts presented in the book. The references are also very helpful in researching for other related work in this area.

Great book with fundamental EC background information

The authors of this book do a fantastic job laying out and illustrating the essential components of electronic commerce (EC) systems. The best thing about this book is not the depth of anyone EC component, rather the total coverage of all EC components and issues. It was nice to finally see an EC book that covers technical components and the softer business related issues which are often difficult to quantify.
