original work, carefully tailored to meet the demands of today's rapidly

When we initially published this book in print, back in 1995, the field of

electronic commerce was in its infancy. Since then, we have invested

countless hours in research, collaboration, and refining our understanding

of this transformative domain. Over the years, we have had the privilege of

engaging with business leaders, scholars, and students from diverse

backgrounds, gaining valuable insights and feedback that have shaped our

thinking.The result is a comprehensive exploration of electronic

commerce, meticulously crafted to cater to both business practitioners and

ambitious students seeking to navigate the digital landscape. We have

stripped away the dated material, focusing on timeless principles that

remain pertinent today. Our goal is to equip managers with the knowledge

needed to harness the power of electronic commerce and empower

students with a deep understanding of its strategic implications.
