From Booklist
One need watch only a few minutes of television commercials to realize how big a phenomenon e-commerce has become. Even the Library of Congress has had to act, adding a new classification number (HF5548.32) to accommodate a spate of books on the topic. Rosen now adds her expertise. She is a consultant specializing in Internet and intranet management and marketing strategies and has worked with the American Management Association. She is also the author of
Looking into Intranets and the Internet (1997). Starting with a basic explanation of how the Internet works and what e-commerce is, Rosen goes on to consider its technology requirements, recommend ways of incorporating e-commerce into one's overall marketing strategy, identify various e-commerce services, and demonstrate how to market an e-commerce site. Unlike with more usual question-and-answer formats, Rosen introduces each of her textbooklike chapters with a list of questions that help the reader identify topics of personal interest. Rosen's guide successfully provides practical tips for putting together a plan for implementing e-commerce.
