e-Profit: High-Payoff Strategies for Capturing the E-Commerce Edge, by Peter S. Cohan (AMACOM, $27.05).
Here is one of the best books on this subject. Cohan includes a number of "Case Lessons" derived from corporate initiatives which include those of Cisco Connection Online, the Ames Research Center, Charles Schwab, W.W. Grainger, Chase Manhattan, Microsoft E-Procurement, Merrill Lynch, HP Inkjet Printers, Weyerhaeuser, Eastman Chemical, eBay, Horizon Healthcare, Allied Signal, and American International Group (AIG). The material is especially well-organized. Most of the content has not as yet been provided elsewhere in a single source. Cohan's brilliant analysis of the material enables virtually any organization, regardless of its size or nature, to avoid various "blocks" that inhibit the progress of e-commerce.
