E-Business Concepts and Technologies

The applications in this book employ a number of concepts and technologies associated with e-business. The e-business concepts include types of e-business systems, e-business strategies and e-business models. The technologies can be grouped under Internet and web technologies, intelligent technologies, web software engineering (Object-oriented and agents) technologies, and multimedia. E-business strategies and e-business models also provide the context in which e-business technologies are applied by organizations to gain competitive advantage. This chapter introduces the reader to these concepts and technologies.
