E-Commerce and E-Business

We will be reading parts of the following E-Book tomorrow:
E-Commerce and E-Business

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/E-Commerce_and_E-Business

although it reports E-Commerce in the years that go from 2000 to 2004, phraseology has not changed.

We will then start understanding what a sustainable business practice is. The following link:
 http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book&bookcmd=download&collection_id=52c90ac2b8682456&writer=rl&return_to=Wikibooks%3ACollections%2FSustainable+Business

offers a booklet we might read together with hints to open a sustainable business or cooperate with people who apply sustainable business practices. Several case studies are presented, they might trigger interesting ideas to be applied to local businesses.

If the .pdf does not open up, go to Wikibooks: Collections/Sustainable Business:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Collections/Sustainable_Business

and you will be directed to the download or you can read - chapter by chapter - directly online.
