Whichever, this dictionary is for you. Compiled by a consultant with 15 years in data communications and business management, The Electronic Commerce Dictionary strives to fulfill the promise of its subtitle. As most restrictively defined, electronic commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services, and the transfer of funds, through digital communications. More than 900 terms and acronyms are defined, including more than 200 Web electronic-commerce reference sites. The sites are listed with Internet addresses.
Electronic commerce is nothing short of a revolution in business.
Haynes succeeds in making the buzzwords, abbreviations, and acronyms of this emerging field understandable to anyone with modest computer literacy. Recommended for academic and public libraries of all sizes. This is a dictionary of terms, but provides much background detail on Internet operations. Bill Frezza, Interactive Age Magazine - Any new and rapidly growing technical field seems to generate a proliferation of jargon that can easily overwhelm the newcomer, causing them to hang back just when it's time to jump in. The Electronic Commerce Dictionary is the perfect compendium for both the networking neophyte and the practiced pundit.
