Summary: Understanding Internet technologies in manufacturing
Review: This book is a tour de force through hits and misses of using Internet technologies in manufacturing. It includes a concise survey of various technologies and standards, as well as a survey of various business models that can profit from them. Not just theory, the book includes discussion of what has happened to the business-to-business portals that sprang up and quickly withered. As is fitting from two authors who are practicing marketing consultants, the book also includes a wealth of practical tips for those who need to find new paths in this difficult manufacturing environment. Included is a chapter on security--certainly a hot topic these days.
