Lectures in E-Commerce

Although only a few years old, electronic commerce offers new ways of doing business that no business can afford to ignore. Numerous books have been published in the past few years, which consider individual aspects of electronic commerce. This book is a collection of selected contributions from reknowned researchers who specialize in the various facets of electronic commerce, namely economics, finance, information technology, and education.
