Review The Internet Bubble: Inside the Overvalued World of High-tech Stocks - and What You Need to Know to Avoid the Coming Shakeout / HarperBusiness:

Canals. Railways. Cars. Computers. The Internet. Each represented revolutionary shifts in the way people would live and do business. Each saw a corresponding rush of investors to get in on this great new investment opportunity. Each saw a lot of investors go broke. In The Internet Bubble, Anthony Perkins and Michael Perkins, founding editors of The Red Herring, look at it this way: In the early 20th century, there were more than 500 automobile companies in the US. Now how many are there? Same with the new Internet companies, the Perkinses predict. [+]
A few will grow into profitable businesses in 10 or 20 years, but even then their stocks may not be worth much more than their 1999 prices. They argue that buying an Internet stock today is really nothing more than gambling that someone else will come along and buy it from you for more money. The book includes an overview of the biggest players in the Internet explosion, the market mania for Internet stocks and profiles of companies such as Amazon, Yahoo! and At Home. The authors also interview venture capitalists who help new companies get off the ground and the investment bankers who help them go public. And while they don't pretend that they know when the Internet bubble will burst, or what the damage will be, they are convinced that most. com companies will never make a dime. The book concludes with some thoughts about investing in this climate, and argues that ignoring the Internet may be as dangerous to your portfolio as investing too much. Some guidelines about product cycles and diversification appear, but the biggest rule seems to be: Don't be the one holding the hot potato at the end of the game. -Lou Schuler, Amazon. com.

Review e-Enterprise: Business Models, Architecture, and Components (Breakthroughs in Application Development) / Cambridge University Press:

Aimed at any manager or executive seeking to understand the present and future of e-commerce, e-Enterprise: Business Models, Architecture and Components offers a leading-edge guide to how the Internet will continue to transform the way any company does business. While there are any number of books describing the Internet revolution, this title focuses on the ways in which traditional "brick and mortar" companies can re-engineer themselves to take advantage of both business-to-customer and business-to-business e-commerce. The author's perspective from both the new world of Internet start-ups and larger, more-established companies provides a valuable edge here. While certain sections make fairly heavy use of e-jargon (for example, terms like e-ROI and e-Vision), there is much to glean here for any manager struggling to make sense of it all. The author identifies future directions for improving efficiency of your organisation through e-commerce, and how to improve customer relationships through the Internet. This book offers many high-level "critical success factors" for implementing changes using e-commerce within your organisational structure. Later chapters look at some of the technology behind the Internet revolution, including various standards bodies that will help integrate business-to-business e-commerce (like CommerceNet) as well as application servers and component technologies (like CORBA, DCOM, and Enterprise JavaBeans, EJBs). In all, this book identifies key terms, strategies and technologies that will be required knowledge for conducting business successfully online. It can be read profitably by anyone seeking to understand the ways in which e-commerce can streamline business processes and transform traditional organisations. -Richard Dragan, Amazon. [+]
