Synopsis

This is a guide from e-strategists on how to make profit in the new world economy. The authors say we are in the midst of the first era of e-business, characterized by experimentation, vague or non-existent business models, and dubious value propositions. This era is driven by technology. The next era of e-business will be characterized by a focus on value creation built on business models that are sustainable and profitable. In this next era the key drivers will be: perfecting logistics; establishing long term customer relationships; harmonizing sales channels for customer benefits; building a power brand; transforming corporate capital and cost structure ;and ultimately becoming a value added intermediary.

Earle and Keen's timing could not be better. Investors have clearly called out for e-commerce companies to move beyond business models to business realities. This book focuses on critical drivers for making that transition and gives a wealth of examples that bring home its points. This is an important book that can help migrate e-businesses from the list of 'first movers' to the list of 'first provers.' --Geoffrey Moore, chairman, The Chasm Group Don't even try to raise capital until you've read and incorporated the ideas in this book into your startup. --Guy Kawasaki, CEO, Garage.com Nick Earle and Peter Keen provide an accurate and compelling overview of the current e-business turmoil and landscape.
