What is e-business? cover

Based on fifteen years’ experience teaching e-Business modules, Feng Li takes the reader through the vast range of topics and issues surrounding e-business. This much-needed new text gives business and technology students the integrated framework they need to interpret conflicting and rapidly changing business phenomena.


  • A coherent introduction to e-business.
  • Features case studies of the transformation of various industries, including banking, the music industry, e-tailing, the telecoms industry, and e-public services.
  • Discusses emerging issues such as privacy, security, identity and presence in the cyber world, Internet marketing, legal, regulatory, social and political issues.
  • Supported by online lecturer and student resources, available soon.

"This book provides a comprehensive roadmap that helps to understand the complicated and multi-faceted phenomenon of E-Business. It bridges real examples of the many ways E-Business is used to augment, substitute, disrupt, and dis-intermediate the normal practices of business with the relevant academic views of the same. The result is a powerful tool for practitioners and academics that allows the reader to drill down on these issues in whatever depth is desired." Thomas H. Brush,Purdue University

"This book is refreshingly well-written and thought provoking. Grounded in appropriate theory and literature, it provides a most welcome addition to the e-business literature." Professor Michael D Williams, Swansea University
