Strategies for E-business: Creating Value through Electronic and Mobile Commerce (Concept And Cases)

"Strategies for e-business" is packed with a treasury of timely and insightful international case studies, the very best concepts from academics, and powerful prescriptions for practising managers who wish to navigate the world of e-business, without the hype. This very readable book is clearly the culmination of years where Jelassi, in particular, has remained on the forefront of making e-business very relevant to the practising manager, gleaning deep insights from case research on how firms use e-business to gain competitive advantage, and his own leading academic research." "Prof. Andrew Boynton, Director of the Executive MBA, IMD Lausanne "The practical approach of this book inspires the reader to create value with e-business. It breaks down the barriers between conventional business and e-business. The carefully-researched and well-written case studies vividly demonstrate how to achieve sustainable advantage through new technologies." Haider Rashid, Chief Information Officer, ABB Group "This textbook is a great resource for everybody who is active in e-business. The comprehensive case studies outline the new pillars for success: a solid business model and well-founded strategy adapted to the unique characteristics of the digital world." Philipp Justus, Managing Director eBay Germany "The strategic focus of this book is a unique feature that will be appreciated by final year undergraduates, postgraduates and practitioners." Mark Xu, Senior Lecturer, Department of Accounting, Law and Management Science, University of Portsmouth "I have used several of the case studies that Jelassi has produced in my own teaching and find them to be invaluable...This will become, in my opinion, one of the best textbooks on e-commerce. It combines case studies with a serious and respected intellectual perspective. I would definitely adopt it - books like this are rare." "Neil Pollock, Lecturer in e-business, Management School and Economics, The University of Edinburgh "Case studies are central to our e-business strategy module ... I will include the text as part of the module as soon as it is available." Simon Snowdon, Lecturer and undergraduate e-Business Programme Director, The University of Liverpool Management School.
