Managing (e)Business Transformation comprises text and cases
designed to show students how a business can be transformed into an
internetworked enterprise where IT infrastructures are used to link
customers, suppliers, partners and employees to create superior
economic value. The book is written based on the premise that
integrating internet technologies throughout the value chain is
crucial to building and managing customer relationships.
Importantly, it underscores the centrality of basic business and
economic principles within the context of a networked environment.
The book builds on established business and economic theories,
concepts and fundamentals to show that 'e-business' will soon be
synonymous with 'business'. The book takes a strong managerial
perspective, especially popular with MBA students, to argue that
the internet is simply an enabling technology, which allows firms
to build the infrastructure needed to operate in an evolving
business world. The application of theory/concepts is emphasized
throughout and contains a range of international case studies
enhance the learning experience. This book is a must for all
students studying e-business strategy at undergraduate, MBA and
postgraduate level. Also available is a companion website with
extra features to accompany the text, please take a look by

Featuring contributions from prominent thinkers and researchers,
this volume in the "Advances in Management Information Systems"
series provides a rich set of conceptual, empirical, and
introspective studies that epitomize fundamental knowledge in the
area of Business Process Transformation. Processes are interpreted
broadly to include operational and managerial processes within and
between organizations, as well as those involved in knowledge
generation. Transformation includes radical and incremental change,
its conduct, management, and outcome. The editors and contributing
authors pay close attention to the role of IS organizations and
information technologies in facilitating business process
transformation. Each chapter places major emphasis on clearly
articulating the "knowledge" generated, both theoretical and
applied. The book incorporates case studies and tables throughout,
and provides fundamental grounding for any stakeholder of business
process transformation.

Exploring Information Systems Research Approaches is intended for
supervisors and research students in the information systems and
related fields. This collection of thought-provoking articles,
arranged in sections that reflect the broadening nature of the
field, provides examples of a range of research approaches. This
book focuses on different research approaches - their strengths,
limitations, and the conclusions which can be drawn from them - and
explores the impact of information and communication technologies
on groups, on organizations, between organizations, on markets, and
on society worldwide. The articles selected have been chosen to
represent an approach to research, or an alternative design within
an approach (e.g., single case versus multiple cases; survey within
industry versus survey across industries). Each section is preceded
by an editorial introduction that places the chosen articles in
context of other, similar research, and provides a summary of the
articles in terms of the: research method employed focus and
perspective of the research technology being employed findings and
overall contribution of the work. Each introduction also highlights
various issues and factors that the reader should consider when
studying each of the articles in the section and includes ideas for
further reading and discussion questions suitable for doctoral
research seminars.

This book about responsible and evidence-based decision making is
written for those interested in improving the decisions that affect
people's lives. It describes how to define policy research
questions so that evidence can be applied to them, how to find and
synthesize existing evidence, how to generate new evidence if
needed, how to make acceptable recommendations that can solve
policy problems without negative side effects, and how to describe
evidence and recommendations in a manner that changes minds.
Policies are not just the decisions made by a country's rulers or
elected officials; policies are also set by corporate executives,
managers of department stores, and project leaders in non-profit
organizations pursuing environmental protection. The authors'
suggestion are based on the fundamental belief that evidence-based
decision making is superior to decisions based purely on opinion,
intuition, and emotion. Because much has happened since 1984 when
the first edition was published, this is a substantially different
book with a new co-author, new and updated examples, new chapters,
and new frameworks for understanding.
