Snapshot of Electronic Commerce Resources

Electronic Commerce and Organizational Leadership by Wilhelmina Djoleto
ISBN: 1466629835
Publication Date: 2013-02-28
Although the topic of e-commerce has been very widely discussed and researched, it is not often discussed in terms of its affect on leadership and management structures. Electronic Commerce and Organizational Leadership: Perspectives and Methodologies investigates the ways in which e-commerce not only affects daily business operations, but more specifically, it focuses on how e-commerce has a great influence on administrative hierarchy and leadership. This unique publication highlights these issues within higher education institutions, but more specifically, in historically black colleges and universities. Researchers and administrators who seek to understand and improve the hierarchical and organizational structures through the deeper investigation of information technology, e-commerce, and its impacts will find this book valuable.
