This book examines and critiques classical approaches to strategic
analysis, whilst exploring alternative methods which utilise
ecosystem and platform concepts, as well as chaos and complexity
theories. The innovative study provides a critique of the
neoclassical Newtonian school of strategy, and proves it to be
largely inappropriate as a decision-making methodology in today's
internet-based market. By developing a new biological hydrothermal
vent model in which analogical comparisons are made with the
Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector, the chapters
challenge existing paradigms of competitive advantage and analyse
the extent to which the Internet can be considered to be an
ecosystem in its own right. The Internet as a Technology-Based
Eco-System offers a range of alternative models and analytical
frameworks for the analysis of internet-based technology companies
in the twenty-first century, creating a valuable tool for students
and academics undertaking research in strategy, technology and
electronic engineering.
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
that automated negotiation is one of the most important areas in
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.
This textbook introduces readers to digital business from a
management standpoint. It provides an overview of the foundations
of digital business with basics, activities and success factors,
and an analytical view on user behavior. Dedicated chapters on
mobile and social media present fundamental aspects, discuss
applications and address key success factors. The Internet of
Things (IoT) is subsequently introduced in the context of big data,
cloud computing and connecting technologies, with a focus on
industry 4.0, smart business services, smart homes and digital
consumer applications, as well as artificial intelligence. The book
then turns to digital business models in the B2C
(business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) sectors.
Building on the business model concepts, the book addresses digital
business strategy, discussing the strategic digital business
environment and digital business value activity systems (dVASs), as
well as strategy development in the context of digital business.
Special chapters explore the implications of strategy for digital
marketing and digital procurement. Lastly, the book discusses the
fundamentals of digital business technologies and security, and
provides an outline of digital business implementation. A
comprehensive case study on Google/Alphabet, explaining Google's
organizational history, its integrated business model and its
market environment, rounds out the book.

instructional pedagogies. Learning theory as it applies to online
environments encompasses myriad techniques and practices. Exploring
Online Learning Through Synchronous and Asynchronous Instructional
Methods is an essential scholarly book that provides relevant and
detailed research on the applications of synchronous and
asynchronous instructional pedagogies and discusses why they are
critical to the design and implementation of contemporary online
courses. Featuring an array of topics such as student engagement,
adaptive learning, and online instruction, this book is ideal for
