Book Description
Introduction to E-Commerce, 2/e, by Rayport and Jaworksi, can be used as the principles book for e-commerce. Much like there is a “Principles of Marketing” that is intended to be the first course in marketing, The text covers the entire landscape of e-commerce. The key message is that faculty who want to teach an introductory class on e-commerce and focus on the “strategy” parts of e-commerce first and technology second, should adopt this book. Faculty who teach marketing, management, strategy and entrepreneurship as the “core” discipline prefer this book over “technology-oriented” e-commerce books. Introduction to e-Commerce gives present and future practitioners of e-Commerce a solid foundation in all aspects of conducting business in the networked economy. The text focus is on what a manager needs to know about Internet infrastructure, strategy formulation and implementation, technology concepts, public policy issues, and capital infrastructure in order to make effective business decisions. This is presented in a framework for the study and practice of e-Commerce with business strategy at the core surrounded by four infrastructures; the technology infrastructure that underlies the Internet, the media infrastructure that provides the content for businesses, public policy regulations that provide both opportunities and constraints, and the capital infrastructure that provides the money and capital to run the businesses. Within this framework, the authors provide a deep exploration of core concepts of online strategy and associated enablers enriched by a wide variety of examples, case studies, and explanations culled directly from practice.

Dazed & Confused.......2002-04-30
This text was required reading in an Internet marketing class I took. As an about-to-graduate business major, I felt the book often strayed off it's subject matter (e-commerce) and too often went into excrutiating detail about how businesses operate. Although I did not read every chapter, the sections I did read were repetitive and confusing to follow. For example, the concept of "catalog content management" is defined and discussed at least three times in one chapter. To say this book is thorough is an understatement. There are many sections that could have been deleted with no loss of meaning to the subject matter. The book is probably OK for beginning business majors who have yet to take lots of business classes. However, for those who are more familiar with business, you will probably find yourself skimming over this text looking for the information you want. If you're looking for a general overview of e-commerce, this is not the book for you. If you want more detail than you thought existed . . . well, I'm selling my copy in the used book section of this site :)
good materials for learing e-commerce.......2002-01-27
I used this book in my ecommerce class and the materials provided is very informative and easy to follow.

Technically abundant.......2006-12-23
Good research book or text for a course of the same subject matter. I learned a few tricks of the trade, and have made use of the material in the book.
Glad I read it. Its a welcome addition to my reference shelf.
The down side is that this material will be dated, as it relates to online resources. Time marches on, and technology will eventually make this book obsolete

Customer Reviews:
wordy and confusing.......2004-02-11
I am using this book in my Masters of Info Systems class this semester and I have to say it is one of the worst text books I've ever read for a class. The topics go back and forth, often picking up an earlier topic in later chapters when they could have been easily included in the same chapter, and key concepts are discussed before they've been formally introduced.
All in all it's pretty wordy and confusing without need to be.
Please don't use this book to teach an EC class!!!.......2004-02-03
This book did nothing to enhance my knowledge of E-Commerce. The terms used in this book are not terms that are commonly used. The authors should not be writing textbooks or instructional guides. The illustrations and diagrams did nothing to help the reader understand the material. The diagrams were literally a joke used just to fill up space. I quickly got tired of being given a short definition and told it will be discussed later. The book doesn't flow and leaves the reader frustrated. The authors use of E-Commerce terminology was too often bogged down in clichéd rhetoric. Don't use this book to gain knowledge about E-Commerce you'll find yourself falling asleep and rereading sentences way too often.
