Editorial Reviews

"This book is excellent reading for e-commerce managers and could also be used as a textbook...The chapters are well written, with objectives, figures, and clear divisions into sections. The book does not contain canned answers, but carefully walks readers through thinking about ERP systems. I highly recommend it." Computing Reviews
