"Because so much of the Internet is new, much of the work is predictive, though DrTimmers grounds the issues in applicationsof the Internet by existing companies. The book comprises a rich mix of the theoretical along with numerous case studies." --Bruce McWilliams , ,
"One of the most helpful features of this book is the flexible approach to forecasting the future of B2B e-commerce . . . . Sections I would particularly recommend are those on disintermediation and on the convergence of B2B and B2C markets . . . My hot tip? If you can't plough through the whole book, the last two pages are a useful summary -and don't miss out on the case studies." --Margaret Morrison, Knowledge Specialist in the area of Electronics and High-Tech, Anderson Consulting
"This book is a very good and systematic guide from key and successful B2B stories, to generic business models, to global marketing and branding, to technical guidance and finally to business-business vision. A MUST - HAVE BOOK for managers and practitioners of B-B commerce at the right time with the right quality." --Vaggelis Ouzounis,
