In Networked Business, Paul Grefen returns with the third edition of his tried and tested BOAT framework for advanced e-business, covering the spectrum from business models via organization structures and digital system architectures to information technology.
Today’s successful organizations are complex; they are part of dynamic business networks built on digital channels, going far beyond traditional e-commerce. This book provides invaluable insights of modern digitally enabled networked business, going much further than the usual analysis of traditional e-business texts.
