Google your Quant Question.......2005-12-13

If you must buy a stats book then I guess this would be as good as any other pocket reference guide. Why bother? There are enough fantastic websites with answers to your stats questions. Surf Amazon for a stats package reference book and like Excel, Minitab, SAS, etc. The title says it all: "Easy Outline." It's an accurate title, but the content isn't overly helpful. If you are completely new to Stats then you'll need more help than this book can give. If you are a bit rusty, then Google will have your answers.

Book Description

The strategic emphasis in Relationship Marketing is as much on keeping customers as it is on getting them in the first place. The aim is to provide unique value in chosen markets, sustainable over time, which brings the customers back for more.
Relationship Marketing emphasizes quality, customer service and marketing and how these can be managed towards closing the `quality gap' between what customers expect and what they get.

The authors explore the process of developing and implementing relationship strategies and in so doing, signal a radical shift in marketing practice involving first the co-ordination of external (customer) markets and second, collaboration within
internal (staff) markets in order to get the marketing mix right. The book is intended for all marketing managers coming to terms with doing business in turbulent markets and facing up to strategic quality and customer services issues.

Well-presented comprehensive text
Full of practical ideas, techniques and examples
Emphasis is as much on keeping customers as it is on getting them in the first place

Book Description

The lending industry is comprised of a wide variety of sectors, such as banking, credit cards, mortgages, leasing and consumer finance. Many of these sectors have interconnections and synergies. In addition, a large number of related services and technologies have a major influence on the lending and credit business. These services include e-commerce, credit risk analysis, call centers and information technologies. Rapid changes have taken place in lending in recent years. For example, large amounts of business and consumer debt are now syndicated or securitized. Meanwhile, non-bank firms, such as GE, have become immense competitors in the lending arena, and international acquisitions are shaping up the globalized banking industry of the near future. This carefully-researched book (which includes a database of leading companies on CD-ROM) is a banking, credit and mortgages market research and business intelligence tool-- everything you need to know about the business of banking, credit cards, mortgages and lending, including: Money center banks; Regional Banks; Savings Associations; Globalization of the banking and lending industries, including our profiles of the world's leading international banking firms; Mortgage banking and brokerage; Home equity loans; Credit cards; Lending and other services provided by non-bank enterprises; Significant trends in banking and lending technologies; Risk analysis, payment processing, call centers and other support services; Online banking trends; ATM trends and technologies; Banking industry software.

Global E-Commerce Rules!!!.......2001-04-27

Most Americans interpret E-Commerce as only happening in USA. We are so immersed and so ignorant about anything that happens outside of this country. This book is great to open doors to global success stories. I have used this book for a training class at Colleges and Corporations for the past two years. Each chapter is short so I added much recent materials. There are only 14 books listed here at Amazon.com on this topic. It is the most exciting one to read for now. The book would be better if more GLOBAL merger-acquisition and/or finance is included.

This is a very good book on e-commerce..........2000-06-21

This book is a very well written book, and easy to read, which provides a wide spectrum on many e-commerce initiatives.

The authors have captured many relevant subjects in the Internet commerce world. They have done a great job presenting very interesting topics, and contrasting these topics to many large businesses involved in this area.

The information the authors present on business initiatives required to achieve successful e-commerce environments is very useful. Contrasting the many companies, mergers, and other e-commerce collaborations I found to be very informative.

I would recommend this book to both business executives, and technical executives (and practitioners) interested in e-commerce. This book was well worth the investment and I look forward to future books by these authors: They seem to be very informed on the subject areas and they also seem to have many experiences in this areas, as described in the content of the book.

Excellent Reading on Internet E-Commerce.......2000-05-22

This book is well written and presents many industrial success stories on E-Commerce. The graphics in the book are excellent, especially business transformation graphics which show the typical models for many companies converging in the E-Commerce market.

I highly suggest to anyone interested in the topic of E-Commerce to purchase this book. Out of all the books on the market today, I find this book to be right at the top with excellent content on the subject. I am a senior business leader in a large global company, and have experienced many situations where the text in this book, maps into the problems which the biggest firms worldwide have experienced during E-Commerce business transformations.

These authors have obviously experienced the work challenges associated with Internet Commerce challenges. It is very clear that they not only are seasoned in this field, but also practitioners in the field, as well.

Flat content.......2000-05-17

This very interesting topic seems be taken not too seriously by the authors, as they have provided much information about IBM and nothing about the rest of the Internet world.

Great E-Commerce Book.......2000-04-26

This book is very interesting. It describes many of the top industries in the world and many of the success stories of E-Commerce. The graphics are great and their facts seem to be very solid. I enjoyed reading this book, and actually found myself using it in some of my own work related to E-Commerce.

I think the authors did a great job at covering the many areas in the field of E-Commerce. Their discussions about society and government are also very interesting.

I highly recommend this book to any individual interested in great discussions on the E-Commerce topic.

Book Description

Enterprises all over the world are experiencing a rapid development of networked computing for applications that are required for the daily survival of an organization. Client-server computing offers great potential for cost-effective networked computing. However, many organizations have now learned that the cost of maintenance and support of these networked distributed systems far exceeds the cost of buying them.
Computer Supported Creative Work (CSCW) is the new evolving area that promotes the understanding of business processes and relevant communication technologies. Cooperative Management of Enterprise Networks uses CSCW as the medium for conveying ideas on the integration of business processes with network and systems management. This book will be useful for systems management professionals wishing to know about business process integration; business managers wishing to integrate their tasks with network/systems management; software system developers wishing to adopt participatory design practices; and students and researchers.

Book Description

The Internet is currently the fastest-growing and most widely-used technology for doing business electronically. Yet, despite its obvious advantages, it is clear that it is fraught with problems: customers are reluctant to use it for purchasing products; surfing is time-consuming and costly; and users are rapidly becoming disillusioned with its failure to fulfill early promises. In an invaluable follow-up to "Doing Business Electronically", Doing Business on the Internet provides a collection of readings which look objectively at what Internet commerce can offer both the consumer and the provider. Primarily of interest to researchers and students in areas such as electronic commerce, business strategy, management of information systems, project management and organisational change, it will also be of interest to corporate managers involved with developing their company's Internet-based strategies and to anyone interested in how to buy or sell on the Internet.
