The Interactive Marketplace: Business-to-Business Strategies for Delivering Just-in-Time, Mass-Customized Products
Keith Brown Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill Companies ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0071363432 |
Book Description
Most ecommerce experts agree that click-and-buy shopping cart sites are fast becoming a thing of the past. Soon, the only ebusinesses that will matter will be those which allow customers to custom design the products they buy. At Ford, the Ford-Oracle AutoXchange site transformed Ford's supply chain from one based on forecasts and building for inventory to a real-time, build-to-order model. In this practical guide to the future of ebusiness, BuildNet, Inc. Chairman Keith T. Brown clearly explains why the most successful business-to-consumer (B2C) ebusinesses, now and in the years ahead, are those built on interactive business-to-business (B2B) platforms that integrate Internet technology into all phases of business operations. And he arms readers with the knowledge and skills needed to create solid interactive business plans. Keith T. Brown (Durham, NC) is Chairman of BuildNet, Inc., the home-building industry's largest ebusiness, technology, and project management software company.

What will happens in the future on B2B? Read this........2001-07-06
Still pionyant.......2001-03-30
E-market of the future is closer than we think........2000-11-09
This immediately took my mind back when some arrogant nerd said that there was going to be a personal computer in every home. At that time you would have to purchase another home to have adequate space for the monster. Also, it was helpful but slow compared to the paper system we had. Nevertheless, look where we are now.
The info in this book is right on target and in my opinion could come to pass in the next 5 years. Regardless, demand by the industries as a whole for just in time possessing will be upon us shortly. This book describes how and why the benefits are worth pursuing. ...
An excellent overview of the potential of e-business.......2000-10-13
When a friend gave me the book, I thought it was a "how-to" book; it's not. But the theory presented here is compelling enough to have made this a worthy read.
Powerful & punchy.......2000-10-10
The Interactive Marketplace uncovers the stumbling blocks that plague similar dot.coms and vaporware providers. The book shows how erratic planning is not necessarily the next step toward success in the "e-commerce", "vector-this", "leverage-love" economies. A few may be surprised that interactive technology is here to stay and will -like the telephone- enable products to dynamically respond to the cyber-paced feild of "just in time" delivery, Brown has a clean, fresh and airy grasp that business communities are now, more than ever, vulnerable than before the Internet emerged. For businesses to succeed, they can't just publish a business plan with vague and quickly outdated flow charts of a technological society that is passing them by; instead they should plan to implement upgraded technology and hire professionals who exhibit skill rather than just a resume of golden parachutes; this highly targeted, personalized, value-added approach will guide otherwise graying companies out of the internet colorbook phase and into reading whole business sentences with ease. Composed in mostly in buzz-words and executive refridgerator magnets, this book will hold anyone who has as much experience in the techno-trenches and also be an invaluable bible for company leaders trying to find their place in the changing Internet economy. Please, buy this book for yourself as well as one for a co-worker.

The Tomorrow Tapestry
Laurent Joseph Estey Manufacturer: PublishAmerica ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1592867839 |
Book Description
The 1980s gave rise to the young upwardly mobile. In the 1990's, yuppies downsized and rightsized their careers and companies into downward mobility. In 21st Century, the only thing that counts is successful mobility. In this timely book, the secrets to successful mobility will be illustrated using examples of those who write their own pink slips, create their own job titles and find success by simply doing the things they love to do to help others get the things they need.Customer Reviews:
OH, WHAT A FEELING. . ........2003-09-25
Insightful and Amusing.......2003-09-25
Is your future a fence or a frontier?.......2003-07-24
These are the first three of nine Tapestry Principles that are found on the introduction page of Joe Estey's first book, The Tomorrow Tapestry. In this book, you will learn about successful mobility, which the author contends is the only thing that counts in the 21st Century.
This 220 plus page paperback book is laid out in five sections. The first is the title section and constitutes Chapter 1. Chapters 2 through 16 explore The Fabric of Change. The Pattern of Our Purpose is addressed in Chapters 17 through 28. Chapters 29 through 34 deal with The Artists is Our Lives. The Final Thread: Passion is the subject of his final chapter. Estey focuses on several of his Tapestry Principles in each of these sections. He does this using a refreshing and insightful mixture of historical fact, anecdotes, and quotations logically melded to support his principles. The theme throughout is "The future belongs to those who prepare for it!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Why should we be interested in the future? Because, as Charles Kettering pointed out, "that is were I am going to spend the rest of my life."
In Chapter 7, Estey notes that life is about choices and we either get to make choices or are forced to do so. What is the difference? - your attitude to change and choices it presents. A positive outlook, working with what you have rather than decrying the lack of some resource, and persistence are key elements in achieving success (changing). Another central theme that comes through in many of his anecdotes is found in the third principle, we best serve our own interests by striving to meet the needs of others. In the end, it is your attitude that makes the difference between life and death. How many people do you know who are dead in spirit because of their inability or unwillingness to accept, even embrace, change? Read Joe Estey's The Tomorrow Tapestry. You will be changed, and you will like it.

Tacoma: Tomorrow's City... Today (Urban Tapestry Series)
Denny Macgougan Manufacturer: Towery Pub. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1881096289 |
Book Description
As News Tribune columnist Denny MacGougan points out, Tacoma has undergone some exciting changes in recent years, and is a place of natural beauty that continually improves upon itself.MacGougan's lighthearted journey through present-day Tacoma offers ample evidence to support his love of the city. He reveals Tacoma as a place of energy and excitement, beauty and tranquillity, opportunity and fun. MacGougan draws Tacoma in vivid colors by taking the reader through the city's fascinating history, from Mount Rainier to Bob's Java Jive and beyond.
Here you'll be reminded of the reasons behind Tacoma's friendly rivalry with Seattle. You'll recall the stories behind "Galloping Gertie" and her eventual demise. And most important, you'll realize anew that Tacoma is a city of progressive attitudes and cultural breadth that invites people from all over to visit its shores.
With the aid of more than 150 beautiful photographs, it's easy to appreciate MacGougan's love of his city and the laid-back attitude that it inspired in its residents. Living in Tacoma is both easy and attractive, and, for MacGougan's money, can't be beat.
With so many years of community effort and partnership, the beautiful geographic settling, and the visionary actions of businessmen and women, Tacoma is destined to maintain its position of leadership in the heart of Puget Sound. It truly is, and will continue to be, tomorrow's city...today.

Just the facts, ma'am..........2002-02-07
I find it ironic that a book that is attempting to teach people how to make training pertinent and interesting to others is itself uninteresting. This is a book for those who just want the facts and don't care if the writing and presentation are lively or engaging.
