The book examines a wide range of issues that characterize the
current IT based innovation trends in organisations. It contains a
collection of research papers focusing on themes of growing
interest in the field of Information System, Organization Studies,
and Management. The book offers a multi-disciplinary view on
Information Systems aiming to disseminate academic knowledge. It
might be particularly relevant to IT practitioners such as
information systems managers, business managers and IT consultants.
The volume is divided into XIV sections, each one focusing on a
specific theme. A preface written by Joey George, president of the
Association for Information Systems opens the text. The content of
each section is based on a selection of the best papers (original
double blind peer reviewed contributions) presented at the annual
conference of the Italian chapter of AIS, which has been held in
Naples, Italy, on October 2010.
Trading floors in the 60s and 70s involved hundreds of people
shouting bids and offers in multi-coloured jackets standing next to
each other in different pits, gesticulating with their hands. The
decibel levels were extremely high, so high that traders who traded
every day had hearing problems later in life. In 1980, the first
widely used electronic trading exchange was established.On
September 1, 1969, the California Commodity Advisory Research
Project (CCARP) was formed and housed at UC Berkeley. The project's
first aim was to examine the feasibility of an electronic,
for-profit exchange. At the time, there were only 12 exchanges
worldwide, and none were for-profit - or electronic. Read
first-hand from Richard Sandor, the project director and how CCARP
was 20 years too early for the financial world.

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.

Digital technology has changed the way we work, socialize, shop,
play and learn. This book offers a stimulating exploration of how
digitization has begun transforming the prevailing global logistics
system into a self-service and sharing economy, and ultimately
provides a vision of the monumental changes likely to overflow into
the business landscape. Consumer Logistics thoughtfully assesses
the challenges posed to businesses as the Internet of Things, 3D
printing and other yet-to-come technologies start to connect humans
and physical objects in forms that will further transform
lifestyles. Through a review of the evolutionary journey of
logistics management, this book argues that the fourth wave of
global logistics is fast giving way to the fifth wave of consumer
logistics, which will see consumers adapt to the seamless
offline-online purchasing experience brought by Omnichannel
Retailing. By considering how logistics and digital technologies
will interact to redefine consumer logistics, Peter J. Rimmer and
Booi Hon Kam argue that this outcome is likely to reflect the
character of the sixth great logistics wave: personal logistics.
Thought-provoking, and contemporary in topic, this book will be of
great value to business people interested in future trends,
logistics professionals and operators, as well as academics and
students worldwide working on logistics, supply chains and digital
transformations.

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.
Design Science Research is a powerful paradigm enabling researchers
to make important contributions to society and industry. Simply
stated, the goal of DSR is to generate knowledge on how to find
innovative solutions to important problems in the form of models,
methods, constructs and instantiations. Over the past 20 years, the
design science research (DSR) paradigm has developed into an
established paradigm in Information Systems Research and it is of
strong uptake in many other disciplines, including Management
Science and Computer Science. This book provides a collection of
twelve DSR cases, presented by experienced researchers in the
field. It offers readers access to real-world DSR studies, together
with the authors' reflections on their research processes. These
cases will support researchers who want to engage in DSR, and
represent a valuable addition to existing introductions to DSR
methods and processes. Readers will learn from the hands-on
experiences of respected experts who have conducted extensive DSR
in a range of application contexts.

Uber. Airbnb. Amazon. Apple. PayPal. All of these companies
disrupted their markets when they launched. Today they are industry
leaders. What's the secret to their success? These cutting-edge
businesses are built on platforms: two-sided markets that are
revolutionising the way we do business. Written by three of the
most sought-after experts on platform businesses, Platform
Revolution is the first authoritative, fact-based book on platform
models. Whether platforms are connecting sellers and buyers, hosts
and visitors, or drivers with people who need a ride, Geoffrey G.
Parker, Marshall W. Van Alstyne and Sangeet Paul Choudary reveal
the what, how and why of this revolution and provide the first
"owner's manual" for creating a successful platform business.
Platform Revolution teaches newcomers how to start and run a
successful platform business, explaining ways to identify prime
markets and monetise networks. Addressing current business leaders,
the authors reveal strategies behind some of today's up-and-coming
platforms, such as Tinder and SkillShare, and explain how
traditional companies can adapt in a changing marketplace. The
authors also cover essential issues concerning security, regulation
and consumer trust, while examining markets that may be ripe for a
platform revolution, including healthcare, education and energy. As
digital networks increase in ubiquity, businesses that do a better
job of harnessing the power of the platform will win. An
indispensable guide, Platform Revolution charts out the brilliant
future of platforms and reveals how they will irrevocably alter the
lives and careers of millions.
