USA Today Bestseller In his sixth business book, bestselling
author, entrepreneur, and investor Gary Vaynerchuk explores the
twelve essential emotional skills that are integral to his life-and
business-success and provides today's (and tomorrow's) leaders with
critical tools to acquire and develop these traits. For decades,
leaders have relied on "hard" skills to make smart decisions, while
dismissing the importance of emotional intelligence. Soft skills
like self-awareness and curiosity aren't quantifiable; they can't
be measured on a spreadsheet and aren't taught in B-schools or
emphasized in institutions. We've been taught that emotional
intelligence is a "nice to have" in business, not a requirement.
But soft skills can actually accelerate business success, Gary
Vaynerchuk argues. For analytical minds, it's challenging to
understand how to get "better" at being self-aware, curious, or
empathetic-or even why it's important to try. In this wise and
practical book, Gary explores the 12 human ingredients that have
led to his success and happiness and provides exercises to help you
develop these traits yourself. He also shares what the "half"
is-that emotional ingredient of leadership he's weakest at and
makes the most effort to improve. Working through the ideas and
exercises in the book, he teaches you how to discover your own
"halves" and offers insight on how to strengthen them. Gary's
secret to success is using these twelve traits in varying mixtures,
depending on the situation. But how do we know when to balance
patience with ambition? Humility with conviction? Gary provides
real-life examples involving common business scenarios to show you
how to use them together for optimum results. This iconoclastic
book will help you refine your ingredients and improve your
leadership capabilities. When implemented in the proper situation,
these ingredients can help leaders land promotions, retain core
employees, move faster than competitors, win the loyalty of
customers, and build successful organizations that last.

The modern application server is a complex platform that is the linchpin of an enterprise environment that includes a very wide range of technologies-web document formatting, web protocols, server-side scripts, servlets, applets, programming languages, distributed object technologies, security capabilities, directory and naming services, load balancing, system management, and others. As such, it can be a daunting task to try to comprehend these systems. Application Servers for E-Business helps you understand the use of application servers in e-business. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the technologies related to application servers in their facilitation of E-business. These technologies include CORBA, Java, Enterprise Java Beans, Java 2, web servers, and legacy systems. It explores the role these servers play in the modern enterprise IT infrastructure and the environment in which they operate. The material also includes implementation considerations for application servers, including security, scalability, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
Chapter one provides an overview of application servers, the evolution of computing that took us from hierarchical, mainframe-centric environments to the web model of computing, and the rationale for E-commerce and E-business. Chapters two through five cover specific technologies, from web browsers and servers to applets and servlets. Chapter three provides an overview of Java technologies, and chapter four covers CORBA. Chapter five discusses application servers in detail. Since application servers are increasingly supporting the key mission-critical processes of an enterprise, it is critical that organizations deploying them build in "enterprise-class" facilities for security, scalability, load balancing, fault tolerance, and management. Chapter six discusses these deployment design issues. The book concludes with chapter seven, a chapter that presents several examples of the advantages of application servers in large enterprises. It also presents two case studies that illustrate the decision process, and an overview of seventeen application servers. The chapters are organized in a straightforward manner, with section and subsections clearly indicated so that they can be easily skimmed. The comprehensive coverage offered in this book makes it an ideal reference for IT management and staff responsible for specifying, designing, evaluating, and implementing electronic commerce solutions.

Knowledge, Groupware, and the Internet details the convergence of
modern knowledge management theory and emerging computer
technologies, and discusses how they collectively enable business
change and enhance an organization's ability to create and share
knowledge. This compendium of authoritative articles explains the
relationship between knowledge management and two major
technologies enabling it: Groupware and the Internet. These
critical technologies help an organization evolve from individual
to group knowledge, quickly make tacit knowledge explicit, and
enable people to use and apply this knowledge. Knowledge, Groupware
and the Internet helps readers understand how to unite the people
and technologies that define effective knowledge management.
This book discusses how technological innovations have affected the
resolution of disputes arising from electronic commerce in the
European Union, UK and China. Online dispute resolution (ODR) is a
form of alternative dispute resolution in which information
technology is used to establish a process that is more effective
and conducive to resolving the specific types of dispute for which
it was created. This book focuses on out-of-court ODR and the
resolution of disputes in the field of electronic commerce. It
explores the potential of ODR in this specific e-commerce context
and investigates whether the current use of ODR is in line with the
principles of access to justice and procedural fairness. Moreover,
it examines the major concerns surrounding the development of ODR,
e.g. the extent to which electronic ADR agreements are recognized
by national courts in cross-border e-commerce transactions, how
procedural justice is ensured in ODR proceedings, and whether ODR
outcomes can be effectively enforced. To this end, the book
assesses the current and potential role of ODR in resolving
e-commerce disputes, identifies the legal framework for and legal
barriers to the development of ODR, and makes recommendations as to
the direction in which practice and the current legal framework
should evolve. In closing, the book draws on the latest legislation
in the field of e-commerce law and dispute resolution in order to
make recommendations for future ODR design, such as the EU
Platform-to-Business Regulation on Promoting Fairness and
Transparency for Business Users of Online Intermediation Services
(2019) and the United Nations Convention on International
Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (2018), which
provide the legal basis for ODR's future development.
This book discusses important recent advances in automated
negotiations. It introduces a number of state-of-the-art autonomous
agents for large-scale and complex negotiations, and demonstrates

the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. Further, it
presents automated negotiation scenarios involving negotiation
encounters that may have, for instance, a large number of agents or
a large number of issues with interdependencies and/or real-time
constraints. This book includes carefully selected and reviewed
outcomes of the 11th International Workshop on Automated
Negotiations (ACAN) held in Stockholm, Sweden, 2018, in conjunction
with IJCAI-ECAI-2018. Written by leading academic and industrial
researchers, it is a valuable resource for professionals and
scholars working on complex automated negotiations. Furthermore,
the in-depth descriptions of automated negotiating agent programs
help readers who are involved in writing codes for automated
agents.
