› Find signed collectible books: 'Blueprint to the Digital Economy: Creating Wealth in the Era of E-Business'
In addition to writing bestselling books (The Digital Economy, Growing Up Digital, and Paradigm Shift), Don Tapscott is chairman of the Alliance for Converging Technologies, an organization with a "focus on competitive advantage in the digital economy," whose members include companies such as the Bank of Montreal Canada, Federal Express, General Motors, and Xerox. For Blueprint to the Digital Economy, Tapscott puts on an editor's hat and, along with Alex Lowy and David Ticoll, presents a collection of 20 articles that speak to all aspects of doing business in the digital age. The articles, written by members of the alliance, cover a wide range of topics from business design at GM and the role of banking in the digital economy to creating communities in cyberspace and the role of government in the networked world. The real strength of books in this genre is not their writing and presentation, which tend to be uneven, but rather the breadth of experience and perspective they communicate. And experience and perspective is something that this book has in spades. If you're at all interested in how business today is positioning itself for tomorrow, then Blueprint to the Digital Economy is definitely worth a look. --Harry C. Edwards [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'E-Business 2.0: Roadmap for Success'
To the uninitiated, "e-business" refers solely to the process of buying and selling goods over the Net. In our increasingly interactive age, however, it actually means much more. e-Business 2.0, by Ravi Kalakota and Marcia Robinson, defines the term as "the complex fusion of business processes, enterprise applications and organisational structure necessary to create a high-performance business model". And in it Kalakota and Robinson--specialists in the field who serve as founder/CEO and president, respectively, of a company called e-Business Strategies--show how to employ its tenets to compete more effectively in today's brave new world. Aiming at managers who recognise the need to plan and implement just such a course of action, the authors (with help from some pioneers currently practising these techniques) offer solid advice on designing interrelated strategies focused on customer relationships, resource planning, order management and supply chains, and on evaluating investments needed to make them a reality. Describing efforts undertaken by successful e-businesses like Charles Schwab, which adopted a system that provides sales reps with real-time access to information on customers and appropriate new products, the two chart the course that trailblazing companies are following and savvy business people would be wise to emulate. --Howard Rothman [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Seven Steps to Nirvana: Strategic Insights into E-Business Transformation'
While some might find its title's promise of transcendental beatitude a trifle overreaching, The Seven Steps to Nirvana nonetheless provides some excellent insight into the design and implementation of an e-business game plan at those "low-tech, smokestack" companies that have heretofore shied away from developing a cyber-strategy. Mohan Sawhney, the McCormick Tribune Professor of Electronic Commerce and Technology at Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management and Jeff Zabin, a consultant, writer and speaker, have produced a thought-provoking yet practical entry point for senior managers and other leaders. The book journeys from creating an overarching initial vision and initiating other critical preliminary preparations through "putting your money where your mouth is and getting people in the organisation to embrace the oft-threatening new world of e-business". Particularly notable are sections on "thinking like an architect (to) open your mind to new possibilities for business innovation", and mitigating channel conflict--or "dissension among the existing institutions"--by making sure the electronic enhancements you are about to append are truly synchronised complements to what you already have. The ideas behind it all are solid and, perhaps most commendably, are anchored to the realistic needs of a real-world customer base. --Howard Rothman [via]
