Summary

Summary

E-Business provides a balanced, holistic overview of the phenomenon of e-business and its role in transforming organizations. It takes a world-wide perspective and discusses the impact of ICT within both the private and public sectors. A strong underpinning in systems thinking is used throughout to demonstrate the practical implications of this phenomenon for modern organizations. Each chapter integrates with a model of e-business presented at the start. Chapters are designed as learning units and include spider diagrams, examples, reflective questions, cases and activities.
