Very good text book - too detailed on the "Birth of the Internet"
| Customer Rating: | | For the most part this book is a very easy read and is organized very coherently - however, the author seems to digress sometimes by paying too much attention to certain subjects that are important and integral, but could use a 'lite' version. For instance, Chapter 3 is horrendous. Acronym after acronym really made my head spin. |
I love it!
| Customer Rating: | I used this book for an E-Commerce course I've taken over the Summer'08 and loved reading every bit of it!
Given that there are incredible number of mistakes in the Chapter on Security related issues, but the pros out weigh the cons by a HUGE margin.
This book for me was an absolute joy to read, and I don't think I've read any book off late that has so much packed in it! |
Excellent textbook on E-commerce
| Customer Rating: | | I just received the new edition of Laudon and Traver's textbook on e-commerce and think its just great! I previously used the 2nd edition, which I also loved, and this new edition lives up to its predecessor. It contains all new and updated information and is extremely current. Its so well-written that it doesn't read like a textbook at all. I highly recommend it to anyone interesting in learning about e-commerce. |
Good, but dated....
| Customer Rating:  | I have used this textbook for several years - while it is a good basic source of information, it badly needs updating and supplementation in several important areas: RFID is not mentioned; Mobile/hand set E-Commerce is covered at a surface level, Search Engine and major Portal marketing needs updating, and much of the data are 3+ years old - very old given the rapid changes taking place.
If you are teaching an E-Commerce course from a Marketing perspective, with this book as the base, be prepared to suppement this textbook with books such as Spychips, and student subscriptions to WSJ or NY Times. Ad Age is another excellent supplementary information source.
This is one of the few areas in business where the textbook should be updated every 2 years.
Note from Spring 07 - the newer edition is better but still requires supplementation on areas auch as RFID and security. |
