About the Book

A few years ago, many new Internet businesses failed as a result of an unrealistic view of the potential of the Internet, the Web, and computer technology in general. Today Internet and Web technologies are gaining a strong foothold by offering new and different ways of doing business in many areas. This book offers a clear and concise overview of the fundamental principles of computing by building a framework for understanding computer applications. In Parts 1 and 2 author Kai Olsen defines formalized and unformalized processes, with a focus on the formalization of Internet and Web technologies. Parts 3 and 4 explore these concepts further in a discussion of eBusiness applications within B2C (Business-to-Consumer) and B2B (Business-to-Business) models. Presenting numerous examples, tables, and graphics throughout, the ideas introduced in the first half of the book are expanded upon in an easy-to-understand manner. Part 5 prophesizes about the effects that these technologies will have on everyday life, jobs, and society in the future. This book is essential for those involved in, affected by, or interested in Internet and Web applications relating to eBusiness. It will be useful as an introductory textbook in courses about human-computer interaction, eBusiness, mass communications, and of general interest to library and information studies students.

About the Author :
Kai A. Olsen is a professor at Molde College and the University of Bergen, Norway. He is an adjunct professor at the School of Information Services, University of Pittsburgh.

Review :
...presents a clear overview of the fundamental principles of Internet computing by building a framework to understand these real-world applications. Olsen is a well-known and respected expert in user interfaces and human-machine communication. The book consists of six parts. Parts 1 and 2 focus on developing formalization of Internet and Web technologies. Parts 3 and 4 further explore the concepts and discuss both B2C (Business-to-Consumer) and B2B (Business-to-Business) e-business applications. Part 5 offers a glimpse of the future, discussing primarily the semantic Web that will be possible once Web data has been formalized to a higher degree, and presenting scenarios of possible semantic-Web high-level automated services. Finally, Part 6 summarizes the main ideas covered in the book. The section at the end of each chapter provides ideas for exercises and discussion topics. The book can serve as a course resource for undergraduates and for general readers who want to learn more about this field. Highly recommended. All levels. I highly recommend this book... Olsen (informatics, U. of Bergen, Norway; adjunct, U. of Pittsburgh) presents an introduction to the human-computer interface and how it affects Internet applications such as eBusiness. He explains the distinction between formalized and unformalized processes; their enabling and limiting relationship to virtual environments; and the impact of these technologies on the workplace and society. Chapters include case studies and exercises but surprisingly few references. Suitable for introductory computer and business courses and anyone interested in the online world.
