Enabling eBusiness describes the technical architecture and components for a comprehensive and robust eBusiness infrastructure. W. S. Whyte introduces the technical possibilities and issues in and around eBusiness and relates them to established business theory. Looking at the entire supply chain - from supplier to customer - the book includes logistics, customer service, B2B operations, marketing and a lot more.

Here you'll find the answers to these questions - and more:

  • How can you "seduce" customers into buying on-line?
  • How can you get customers to trust you?
  • What is database marketing?
  • How do you make payment secure?
Enabling eBusiness helps technical and functional team leaders and strategists to get to grips with the requirements for distributed systems and on-line retailing. It is recommended reading for final year and postgraduate students in telecommunications, computer science, electrical engineering and business school courses.
