The travel industry has been through exceptional upheaval and change. Plunketts Airline, Hotel & Travel Industry Almanac will be your complete guide to this fascinating industry. After reeling from the effects of the September 11, 2001 tragedies, the travel business is now emerging as a more streamlined, efficient and focused industry. Many of the biggest, most successful firms are becoming extremely global in nature. Meanwhile, most airlines are struggling to return to profitability, while low-cost providers Southwest Airlines and JetBlue continue to set the standard for air travel. Deregulation is opening up huge travel markets in India and China. On the hotel side, massive management firms, development companies and real estate investment trusts are gaining in scale and influence. The booking of travel online is perhaps the most successful niche of all of the worlds e-commerce efforts. Consumers use the Internet to become better informed and to seek bargains. Online sites like Travelocity, Priceline and Orbitz steer millions of consumers toward specific airlines and hotels in a manner that lowers prices and improves satisfaction among consumers.

Book Description

Change is normal. It is not to be avoided, ignored, or criticized. Change simply is. And it is overtaking you and your world with ever-increasing speed.

You can grasp the changes in our culture and the changes in our technology and use them as a guide to make personal and interpersonal modifications. Who you were yesterday and what you did yesterday don't have to define who you are today and what you do today.

You can change yourself. You can alter your routines, your emotions, and your personality. By discovering which facets of your being are eager for alteration, you can make personal reforms...and change the course of history.

Lest you think that all change is good, however, you are wise to beware of transformations that damage and the portions of changes that harm. Personal modifications are risky and dangerous unless you are able to locate and incorporate only the positive ones.

You will change and your world will change. The decision for you is whether you will accept it and champion personal modifications, or whether you will be overwhelmed and watch the world speed past.

Great Strategy Book - Desk reference for anyone in E-Commerc.......2004-08-19

This book covers the major system and processes in major logistical systems. Anyone in dealing with designing a heterogenous system should get this book. It will probably become your bible. In fact I bought this book before. I lost it in a move and I'm going to buy it again right now.

Not worth 1/10th of its price !.......2003-12-07

As a (non-IT) executive of an established brick & mortar retailer which is about to start selling online, I wanted to get a god practical understanding of the many issues related to e-commerce logistics. I threw away this book after wasting on it 2 hours, when I realized I still had not learned a single new thing.
The author's hands-on experience with the subject is clearly limited, and the writing style is that of a consultant: if you take away all the buzzwords and the high-level and over-used strategical concepts, hardly any content is left.
This book is probably a compilation of marketing information found on the top 100 websites that come up in Google if you search for "e-commerce logistics". You may find the book useful only if you work in IT and need an overview of what various software vendors have to offer in this area.

Profitable e-commerce regardless of the product or service.......2003-02-14

Logistics And Fulfillment For e-Business: A Practical Guide To Mastering Back Office Functions For Online Commerce is a straightforward instructional manual to the basic logistics of designing, managing, and running an efficient model for profitable e-commerce regardless of the product or service being offered. From outsourcing technology; to dealing profitably with shipping costs (including the pros and cons of USPS versus other package shippers); to handling customer relations in e-Business; and much, much more, Logistics And Fulfillment For e-Business is a handy, user friendly, "how-to" reference with invaluable, practical advice for any merchant or entrepreneur setting up an e-storefront to supplement (or replace) a traditional brick-and-mortar based commercial operation.

The Author Understands the World of Multi-Channel.......2002-02-02

I bought another one of the author's book a few days ago and felt she had hit that technology right on the head so I decided to try her logistics and fulfillment book. I wasn't disappointed. I had basically given up trying to find a good book on logistics and fulfillment -- no one seemed to really understand the complexities of the multi-channel world.

This book not only deals with Internet based companies, it gives the reader the information necessary to integrate an online business with traditional channels. It provides complete knowledge of how goods flow from the initial source all the way to the customer's premise. The author explains how to reach the ultimate goal of a state-of-the-art logistics and fulfillment operation. The book details how to determine in real time the sales data, warehouse inventory, production plans, and shipment schedules as an order traverses the value chain. There is even a detailed explanation of the tools need to crunch the necessary numbers into some form of reliable forecasting.

The author really understands that the success in the world of multi-channel requires a well-defined business model and the tight integration between legacy and online applications and systems, specifically in the areas of product category, customer, order, distribution, fulfillment, data, and operational management. While the book does point out that logistics and fulfillment is no easy task, it also explains that optimal logistics and fulfillment is achievable and the end result will make all the effort and money spent worthwhile.
