Electronic Commerce, Twelfth Edition, provides complete coverage of the key business and technology elements of electronic commerce. The book does not assume that readers have any previous electronic commerce knowledge or experience.
In 1998, having spent several years doing electronic commerce research, consulting, and corporate training, I began developing undergraduate and graduate business school courses in electronic commerce. Although I had used a variety of books and other materials in my corporate training work, I was concerned that those materials would not work well in university courses because they were written at widely varying levels and did not have the organization and pedagogic features, such as review questions, that are so important to students.
After searching for a textbook that offered balanced coverage of both the business and technology elements of electronic commerce, I concluded that no such book existed. The first edition of Electronic Commerce was written to fill that void. Since that first edition, I have worked to improve the book and keep it current with the rapid changes in this dynamic field.

ORGANIZATION AND COVERAGE
Electronic Commerce, Twelfth Edition, introduces readers to both the theory and practice of conducting business over the Internet and World Wide Web. The book is organized into four sections: an introduction, business strategies, technologies, and integration.
Introduction
The book’s first section includes two chapters. Chapter 1, “Introduction to Electronic Commerce,” defines electronic commerce and describes how companies use it to create new products and services, reduce the cost of existing business processes, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. The concept of electronic commerce waves is presented and developed in this chapter. Chapter 1 also outlines the history of the Internet and the Web, explains the international environment in which electronic commerce exists, provides an overview of the economic structures in which businesses operate, and describes how electronic commerce fits into those structures. Two themes are introduced in this chapter and recur throughout later chapters: that examining a firm’s value chain can reveal opportunities for electronic commerce initiatives, and reductions in transaction costs are important elements of many electronic commerce initiatives.
Chapter 2, “Technology Infrastructure: The Internet and the World Wide Web,” introduces the technologies used to conduct business online, including topics such as Internet infrastructure, protocols, packet-switched networks, and the Internet of Things. Chapter 2 also describes the markup languages used on the Web HTML and XML and discusses Internet connection options and tradeoffs, including wireless technologies.
Business Strategies for Electronic Commerce
The second section of the book includes four chapters that describe the business strategies that companies and o
