Product Description Is Your Company Getting the Most from Its Investment in Change? Many companies have already invested heavily in infrastructure change, some are making that investment now, and all are contemplating the costs of becoming or evolving as an e-business. Is your company a "greenfield" organization with no back-end systems, or one whose infrastructure support systems are integrated across the enterprise? Are you just beginning to think about e-business capabilities, or are you on the leading edge of convergence? Whatever your company's position on the ERP/E-Business Matrix, E-Business and ERP: Transforming the Enterprise provides the proven techniques you need to know to meld enterprise resource planning capabilities with the communications power of the Internet. Is Your Company Positioned for E-Business Success? The Internet has revolutionized twenty-first century business. Organizations today can communicate with customers, suppliers, and sellers at e-speed with the click of a mouse. Yet, with all of the excitement about the external possibilities of the Internet, companies still need efficient internal processes to make and move products, manage finances, recruit and motivate employees, and excel. E-Business and ERP: Transforming the Enterprise covers the skills and tools you will need to combine existing ERP software and capabilities with emerging Web-based technologies. In this forward-thinking outline for a new business structure, executives and managers will discover: * Strategies for established companies to penetrate the Internet marketplace * Procedures that lower costs across the supply and demand chain * Techniques that help you meet-and master-the dot.com challenge The companies best positioned to succeed in the near future are those that can balance existing ERP-based infrastructures and capabilities with exciting new e-business innovations. E-Business and ERP: Transforming the Enterprise examines the changing but essential role of ERP, places it in the context of the Web-based technologies defining today's e-business environment, and reveals how to blend the best aspects of both to create a strong and flexible twenty-first century business enterprise. | ||

Project Management ....He gets it!! He fully understands the relationship between collaborative technology as it relates to project management in a large enterprise environment. As he so well points out... "the speed which one implements technology relating to process management in order to accomplish large tasks" will differentiate success from failure. This is a "must read" for senior management if they wish to survive in a complex "project management", collaboration /Internet environment. How to utilize technology to accomplish this is the key!! A great resource for management. | ||

Both/And -- Not Either/Or An excellent overview of a very complex and timely subject. I especially liked the ERP/E-Business Matrix and the discussion of regions, companies and assumptions underlying it. I found the discussion of "adaptive" vs. "disruptive" changes helpful and insightful. Very concise and to-the-point, a quick & easy read, but one which should be internalized over a longer period of time. Covered a lot of ground in less than 200 pages. Overall, an excellent addition to my bookshelf. Would, however, have liked to see a bibliography & some footnotes for the statistics cited | ||
ERP moving into e-Business If you are coming from an APICS viewpoint on ERP, this book is consultant-speak only. It is however a prime mover on a very important issue, how will those 1996-1999 implemented ERP systems move forward now that Y2k spending has been digested in Fortune 2000 companies? | ||
Tulane University Review E-mail below received July 26, 2000. Posted with permission. I thought that potential buyers might find it helpful. Grant Norris -------------------------------------- Hello Grant, James, Kenneth, John Dunleavy and John D. Balls, I wanted to write this e-mail to let you know that your book titled "E-Business and ERP" is well written and the subject matter most appropriate in depicting the state of the technology and e-business at this point. I found your depiction and representations very good. I am a faculty member at the Freeman School of Business, Tulane University in New Orleans. I teach two courses that are pertinent to the content of your book. The courses are titled "Enterprise Integration I and II". These are courses taught to the MBA students, who find the course very interesting and fascinating. I plan to ask the students to read your book as part of additional reading material for the course.
