The book explains how ERP can be integrated with E-Business to transfer an enterprise, creating customer value and competitive advantages. It provides a good guidline for business, no matter click or brick, to capitalize the ERP/E-Business opportunities, by using the ERP/E-Business Matrix. It also is a wonderful reference to business majors who want to pursue the E career.

It explained clearly the relationship between the hot issue e-business and the backbone ERP. It is also very helpful for the one who want to jump to e-business but know little about ERP. The ERP/e-businees matrix is useful to access the company situation.

An excellent overview of a very complex and timely subject. I especially liked the ERP/E-Business Matrix and the discussion of regions, companies and assumptions underlying it. I found the discussion of "adaptive" vs. "disruptive" changes helpful and insightful. Very concise and to-the-point, a quick & easy read, but one which should be internalized over a longer period of time. Covered a lot of ground in less than 200 pages. Overall, an excellent addition to my bookshelf.

Would, however, have liked to see a bibliography & some footnotes for the statistics cited

He fully understands the relationship between collaborative technology as it relates to project management in a large enterprise environment.

As he so well points out... "the speed which one implements technology relating to process management in order to accomplish large tasks" will differentiate success from failure. This is a "must read" for senior management if they wish to survive in a complex "project management", collaboration /Internet environment. How to utilize technology to accomplish this is the key!!

A great resource for management.

The book is very to study and to know about e-business, it is an excellent referent to study.

Hello Grant, James, Kenneth, John Dunleavy and John D. Balls,

I wanted to write this e-mail to let you know that your book titled "E-Business and ERP" is well written and the subject matter most appropriate in depicting the state of the technology and e-business at this point. I found your depiction and representations very good.

I am a faculty member at the Freeman School of Business, Tulane University in New Orleans. I teach two courses that are pertinent to the content of your book. The courses are titled "Enterprise Integration I and II". These are courses taught to the MBA students, who find the course very interesting and fascinating.

I plan to ask the students to read your book as part of additional reading material for the course.

Sincerely

Raj Sharman

If you are coming from an APICS viewpoint on ERP, this book is consultant-speak only. It is however a prime mover on a very important issue, how will those 1996-1999 implemented ERP systems move forward now that Y2k spending has been digested in Fortune 2000 companies?
