Book SynopsisBusinesses are rushing to collect personal data to fuel surging demand. Data enthusiasts claim personal information that''s obtained from the commercial internet, including mobile platforms, social networks, cloud computing, and connected devices, will unlock path-breaking innovation, including advanced data security. By contrast, regulators and activists contend that corporate data practices too often disempower consumers by creating privacy harms and related problems. As the Internet of Things matures and facial recognition, predictive analytics, big data, and wearable tracking grow in power, scale, and scope, a controversial ecosystem will exacerbate the acrimony over commercial data capture and analysis. The only productive way forward is to get a grip on the key problems right now and change the conversation. That''s exactly what Jules Polonetsky, Omer Tene, and Evan Selinger do. They bring together diverse views from leading academics, business leaders, and policymakers to discusTrade Review'Advances in digital technology, mobile platforms, social networks, and cloud computing are producing massive amounts of data that promise to unlock a generation of innovation, but at what cost to privacy?

Book SynopsisAs dot.com became dot.bomb, the hype that surrounded the meteoric growth of the network economy has given way to realism, or even scepticism, about the potential of ICT as a source of new business models. It is now appropriate to reflect critically on the e-economy hype, and to use this as a way of looking forward to new, more realistic possibilities. Using a business and socio-economic framework, this book investigates a range of challenges for restructuring the e-economy. This framework includes operations management, human resource management, e-learning, e-retailing, e-marketing, e-government, enterprise culture and digital divide. Divided into four themes (the changing business environment, knowledge management, learning in the public domain and e-business practices within and between organizations), each chapter considers the international context and critically explores a key aspect of the e-economy. Rigorous yet still retaining the accessible format whiTrade Review'In demystifying and making sense, as the chapters in this book do, of what we mean by the so-called ‘new’ and ‘e-economy’, it is the underlying continuities that emerge as more enlightening than the breathless assertions of change...'From the Foreword by Simon Caulkin, Management Correspondent of The ObserverTable of Contents1.

In our rapidly changing world, this book''s message is more vital than ever. Companies may be wired for business, but they still struggle with how to talk to their customers like human beings. The 10th Anniversary Edition features extensive new commentaries by industry leaders, but the core message of this modern business classic remains intact.Trade ReviewFast Company "You might not agree with everything these Web provocateurs say...but you will ignore their ideas at your own peril." Wall Street Journal "The pretentious, strident and absolutely brilliant creation of four marketing gurus who have renounced marketing-as-usual." Multichannel Merchant "A book written early enough to not even contain the word 'blog,' but more relevant now than ever." The Gazette (Montreal) "The reason [this book] is still so attractive for businesspeople is that the four authors are, primarily, tech guys...so their thoughts are pure, focused and very different from business-oriented authors." Library Journal "A weighty work that gets at the heart of the matter: the powerful impact the Internet has had and will continue to have." The Star (South Africa) "Almost 10 years ago [this] seminal book...set out to examine the challenges to business that the internet posed...Well into the first decade of the brave new 21st century, it is clear that the changes these prophets spoke of are irreversible."
