Book Description

B2B presents the first definitive blueprint for creating a profitable business-to-business e-commerce strategy. Showcasing successful initiatives designed by industry leaders such as Cisco Systems and Dell Computer, as well as lesser-known trailblazers such as VerticalNet and eCredit.com, Michael Cunningham clearly identifies the key issues in assessing opportunities, building technological and organizational capabilities, and designing a successful business-to-business strategy using the full power of the Internet.

Thorough and useful information.......2006-01-27

Michael J. Cunningham, founder and CEO of the Harvard Computing Group, has provided strategies and best practices to launch a business-to-business E-Commerce solution for your organization. Financial transfers, online exchanges, auctions, delivery of products and services, supply-chain activities and integrated business networks are all examples of B2B e-commerce. Business-to-business E-commerce is a rapidly growing market. The author guides you through the process from transforming an intranet into an extranet, using portals and digital procurement systems, finding partners, selecting applications and software and finally designing architecture and infrastructure for a B2B business. He has also included a list of best practices used by successful B2B E-commerce companies.

Update on the first edition.......2002-10-01

The revised and updated version of B2B (paperback edition) reflects the changes in the market since the first version was published. As the author of the book, I would like to thank both the input from the press, editors, industry analysts and users of B2B technologies for their experiences and knowledge to keep this title current. I hope that others still find this a useful blueprint for the development and delivery of their stategies.

B2B - Bible........2001-04-18

Charles Stevens, this is possibly the best B2B book I have ever read. Cunningham provides a clear-cut approach to B2B business. He clearly defines differences and avoids excessive jargon making this book ideal for the experiences business professional or anyone new to the field. It was key in developing the fundamentals and our approaches of our own corporate B2B plan. As sacrilegious as it may be this book has been our B2B Bible. 75% of business - to - business transactions for computers, electronics, and storage are done online. There is a need to develop B2B commerce, improving systems and methods are crucial. People and corporations are hesitant about investing in the Internet because of the current tension in the ecommerce market highlighted by the media. Let it be understood that the failings of high-profile corporations should not be a reflection on the B2B market. Even considering this media-driven pseudo-bear market the estimated revenue from B2B business for 2004 exceeds 3 trillion dollars. Pick up this book, at the very least flip through it at the bookstore (and take notes).

B2B: It's about creating value.......2001-04-12

Many organizations today are focused on the bad news in the B2B markets. Failing exchanges, dot com crashes and vendor and consulting layoffs. In my experience, B2B is and will be a potent weapon the the development and optimization of business processes and technology to support new and better ways of conducting business. Collaborative technologies, widespread affordable communication and faster to implement solutions will allow winning firms to take the lead in this segment of the market. While some start-ups have failed, most are because they were not adding enough value to their clients and partners in the first place. B2B technology, tools and platforms are providing the opportunity for organizations to improve and optimize their position in the market. There are good examples of start-ups, existing businesses and others moving to leverage the Internet sprinkled throughout this book. Winning strategies are built by companies following good business practices and being innnovative in their approach to the market. This book was obviously created as a blueprint for individuals and organizations that are looking for a path through this maze. The examples are based on strategies that have worked and produced excellent results for the firm's using them. Like all technologies and strategies there are winners and losers. Emulating winners is still the best way that we know to reduce risk at the early stages in the marketplace. This book helps others achieve this goal, by providing guidance on the good, bad and the ugly of this complex subject. An powerful and comprehensive read.

An Informative Guide to B2B.......2001-04-09

I was extremely pleased with this informative book. Cunningham clearly explained the ins and outs of B2B in a clear and thourough fashion, making this book a great guide as to how to improve B2B strategy most effectively. It was a superb introduction to B2B strategy, as Cunningham was able to address the many issues associated with B2B and instruct on the best ways to use B2B to the advantage of your business. A comprehensible guide to understanding the newest revolution in international commerce. Great as an introduction for those new to B2B, as well as a guide for experienced business professionals looking for a tool to enhance their commerce.

Book Description

Contrasts Friedman's statements on methodology with his practice as an economist.

Customer Reviews:

Friedman's methodology is based on the fallacy of conditional apriorism.......2005-12-23

Hirsch and de Marchi present an interesting,but badly flawed, case study about the differences between what economists say they do(theory) and what economists actually end up doing in practice(application).The economist they chose to study was Milton Friedman.The heart of Friedman's major methodological conclusion is the emphasis on the importance and primacy of successful and accurate predictions and forecasts as opposed to any other methodological goal(for example,scientific explanation).Friedman argues that the measure of any theory is the ability of that theory to predict accurately.Friedman fails his own criteria ,as Hirsch and de Marchi point out,because Friedman has a horrible prediction and forecasting record.This conclusion is softened by the author's claim that the necessary auxilary conditions needed for successful prediction in the social sciences(in economics,particularly) generally are not met.However,this then leads to the assessment that Friedman should simply admit that he should not be making any predictions at all.The book has two major flaws.The first flaw ,which is completely ignored by Hirsch and de Marchi ,is the complete and total reliance of Friedman ,in every single piece of empirical work that he has done in his lifetime, on assuming that all economic data can be represented by a normal probability distribution's mean and standard deviation.Nowhere in any of Friedman's published work can one find any type of goodness of fit test(for example, a chi square test) for normality.This flaw is ubiquitous to economists.For instance,neither Muth nor Lucas,the founders of the rational expectations school of economics,have ever presented any type of test for goodness of fit in any book or paper published in their lifetimes.One can compare this major omission with the empirical work of Benoit Mandelbrot.Mandelbrot's approach is to explicitly check for normality.What Mandelbrot has discovered in his examination of data reflecting changes in prices over time ,for practically all financial markets,is non normality.All of Mandelbrot's work has been duplicated and replicated by many different researchers in many different countries.The reason for Friedman's horrible forecast record is now obvious.Mandelbrot has demonstated that the particular distribution that approximates the data most accurately is the Cauchy Distribution,not the normal distribution.Friedman has been using the wrong probability distribution for 70 years!! No wonder his predictions are wrong!The second major flaw in this book is the failure of Hirsch and de Marchi to recognize that the theoretical heart of Friedman's methodology rests on the inductive fallacy of conditional apriorism(long runism).J M Keynes's point ,that "...in the long run we are all dead...",is specifically aimed at an economics profession that all too often bases arguments on appeals to the fallacy of long runism.Friedman's basic macroscopic conclusion is that money is neutral in the long run because all false trading at distorted,disequilibrium prices ,for all prices in all markets, cancels out in the long run.However,policy makers will never be able to identify(Friedman's natural rate) when this will have occurred.The following quotation ,taken directly from Friedman's 1968 American Economics Association Presidential Address ,is one of the best examples of this fallacy:"What if the monetary authority chose the"natural rate"...as its target?One problem is that it cannot know what the natural rate is.(Friedman puts this entire sentence in italics for emphasis)....the basic problem is that even if the monetary authority knew the "natural rate"...it would not be led to a determinate policy".Hirsch and de Marchi have failed to point out the egregious errors in Friedman's methodological position.Nevertheless,a specialist in economic methodology may find value in some of the less important chapters in this book.
