From .com to .profit
Inventing Business Models That Deliver Value and Profit
Wiley, 2000
What's inside?
The Internet is the electricity of our time: A universal infrastructure that we never see, but depend on for just about every element of daily life.
Recommendation
This solidly researched and written guide shows you how to move into the next phase of e-business operations: actually making them profitable. The authors call this era .profit (dot profit), and aside from that little gimmick, the book is refreshingly free of space-filling babble. Instead, it concentrates on the elements needed to make a profit on the Internet, and gives plenty of examples from cyberspace so you can learn from those who are already in .profit world. getAbstract.com recommends this book to anyone charged with developing business strategy.
