Information Systems in an E-World

Business managers and government administrators have been profoundly affected by the capabilities of the Internet. The properties of the Internet facilitate commerce and competitive advantage. This relatively new technology changes existing business models. Organizations must leverage the use of the Internet to provide products and services to customers and to address the actions of competitors. The Internet has changed organizations’ macro environment, creating opportunities (or problems, depending upon ones perspective) for profitability or provision of services. The purpose of this book is to present chapters which address some of the above mentioned aspects. This is a pervasive topic and some focus was necessary.
